Thank you BS... Garvey! Knew it started with a G.... Many thanks!
Having a senior's moment....pretty sure there is a specific term for a squared off bluff bow, like on a Mirror dinghy, and it's not scow...
Cheers, that's great. The tube for the B24 is a bit smaller - 120mm by 2.6mm thickness. Thanks OM, legend as always... :)
Just a quick question of someone with a set of the B24 plans could answer ---- what was the size of the ally tube used for the beams in the B24? I...
I've previously seen on one of the wooden boat threads somewhere that a power boat builder utilised the electric slidign seat mechanism from a...
Someone has already done this. I saw it for sale on Gumtree cuppla years ago, I think in Byron Bay. Can't recall the beam construction but the...
I sent Tom over here from the Crowther Facebook page, precisely because I thought BruceB might be able to assist, or some other of the Buccaneer...
Hey, all! Just been reading a BBC article on electric cars being powered by 'wave action generators' in the Shetlands Shetland electric cars can...
The original Farrier Command 10 might be a useful source of ideas as well. I have a full set of the plans in PDF format on my Mediafire storage,...
Ply will not be as strong as solid timber as per what patz said. Another thing to watch when rebuilding in solid timber is that the grain runs the...
Buccaneer 33 'Wahoo' for sale in Ventura CA, $28K. Seems to be in good condition from pics on craigslist. Crowther Buccanner - boats - by owner -...
BruceB - No photos, didn't happen...!!!! lol
The 'transparent foil' is actually physically part of the 'mast' (wing) and is designed so that the taper at the masthead enables the entire...
It might even make sense to add a similar 'wedge' to the outside of the amas, as this is the side that is pressed most deeply in the water due to...
True. But thinking of a *folding* trimaran..... like my TT720 Farrier. There was also his Command 10 33' version, the largest folder I'm aware of....
Not sure I understand why? Are you referring to the greater likelihood of dipping the (wider) beams in wave crests..?
Shuttleworth notes that modern tris have a beam to length ratio from 1.5:1 to 1:1 - in other words, 66% to 100% B/L ratio. If, and I have no...
I imagine the low down and central 'ballast' is simply that - ballast - and acts much the same way such mass does in monos, adds stability by...
Just out of curiousity, can anyone familiar with buoyancy principles etc comment on why many of the earlier trimarans had amas shorter than the...
I doubt slipping sideways will be an issue. You'd have to drop almost vertically, side-on, off the face of a curling breaker to be too worried...
