And thank you, sir, as well - Frank
Thanks! - Frank
Thanks, Richard. Where does one purchase a sail like that? I have been wanting to try one of those high-tech buggers. I can never seem to find...
I love sailing, and I love hiking. But combining the two? Not so much... Actually, I can't think of anything that would be less fun to do with...
I do have one question, EDVB. Where do you get cool sails like that? Thanbs - Frank
I agree. This is a very interesting boat, but it's not related to the subject of this thread. How about starting a new one, EDVB?
I was indeed pretty numb at 20. But even at age 10, I was making go carts with lawn mower engines. So was my neighbor. And they worked. We used...
Boy, nobody offered me big taxpayer bucks to create anything when I was an undergrad. But if you gave me $36K today, I could sure as heck come up...
Our tax dollars at work. God help us all... On one hand, it's a cool exercise in engineering -- if you're building a 19th century clock. But...
OK, big news here :) I just finished and posted the new article, "How To Make GOOD Leeboards That Will Really Work Well For You And Be A Pleasure...
Marc - No question about how challenging the EC was this year. I'm pretty sure none of my super-light boats are tough enough to have survived it....
I will definitely be sharing what I come up with if anybody wants to know about it. Right now I can't even settle on a length or basic hull shape....
The EC (and its limitations) was actually the original motivation for this little tri. That's why it can be folded from the cockpit and the mast &...
Actually, my folding tri can be paddled quite easily with the amas open or closed. That was one of the original design considerations. And the...
Randy says that when Sizzors broke, he lost an ama. He was out in the Gulf and a pretty good ways from land. He had to get back to land without...
I'm sure you're right, Marc. Prior to now, I was able to make everything "fixed" in my boats -- seat, pedals, leeboard, mast step, etc., because I...
Thanks for all your support. I sure hope the solution continues to work when the wind gets up over 10-12 mph. I did try leaning back a few days...
Great news - raking the mast forward another 8-9 degrees or so seems to have made a real difference. Laura and I took two boats out so I could do...
That's exactly what I'm using - an old 500 cm windsurf mast from Craigslist. It's a bit more flexible than I'd like, but it's long enough, it's...
I can only guess, but I'd say it probably would. I have a suspicion (and I may be the last one to realize this) that there's something you could...
