Thank you, I think I will buy a used Wharram around Florida pretty soon because time is short and used boats are cheap now I hear, and if there is...
Thanks, that's way I figured it had to be. I suppose since this is going on a sailing cat that engine vibration won't be such a problem, like it...
I'm sorry you had to go to all the trouble to write that because I already knew that, you just rephrased what I wrote and added the part I left...
That's very nice, but I'm looking for a cost comparison. Also, I'm thinking it would be good to have the windmill run a generator/motor to either...
I call them limber holes Water tight and air tight, both,they work together. If the aluminum hull happens to get a hole punched in it, which...
OK, then, if you want airtight compartments how do you make water tight bulkheads in an aluminum boat? Or do you not do that and use foam instead?
Due to my association with aircraft design, instinct tells me you can't come anywhere near the efficiency of a decent prop with any kind of paddle...
Hi, I see this thread is now 55 pages long and so I don't want t start a new one. I have seen it written that a windmill powered prop will run...
Sure, that's the easy way, have the wind vane control trim tabs. There are two types of trim tabs, called either servo, or anti servo. It may...

That looks just like what I had in mind. So ... a few questions. How long is it? Is you r design available to purchase? It doesn't need to...
Thanks, I'll draw some sketches of what I have in mind. There are so many threads here on this forum that it is hard to identify desirable info...
That boat in New Zealand for sale has flat bottom hulls and the Tiki series has pointed bottom hulls. I read that the tiki series are faster than...
I found the Wharram Forum, but there is no action there anymore. I found this thread there:...
That does look kind of nasty :) I think maybe I'll pass on that one for now, the interesting thing is that it's in New Zealand and that's where I...
Could you name a few of them please so I can check them out, plywood or aluminum, same shape. Remember, I want to build this quickly so it...
Thanks, I did find that forum and joined it. I think Wharrams have round hull bottoms and I'll need hard chine in tortured aluminum so I guess...
Hi, I studied mutihulls a fair amount but that was quite a few years ago. Now I'm highly motivated to build a catamaran within the year, one...
