Thanks Alan I will :) And I hope tamas who started this thread does the same and posts an update on his project too.
Thanks for your comments 'sowhynot' and good to hear you like to try things also. It's a big part of the fun of boats. As it happens, I have...
I know, you tried it on me too. :p Not only you though; a couple of smarties on this forum were also dismissive. But of course I didn't listen,...
It's coming along nicely. Keep pressing on, and keep posting. I'm interested too. Just don't let a cranky van diemenian put you off. :)
Thanks. No documentation/analysis seems to be posted but the YouTube clip shows smooth sailing with no vices. Mind you, the conditions were quite...
i sure would like to have a chat with the other bloke :p
Thanks kindly for those pics. Somewhat more complex than the level I'm operating at but, nevertheless, I'd be keen to know if there exists any...
Well golly gosh, I think I've just been admonished by a preacher man. :p Thanks for your sermon; just a pity that it failed to offer one skerrick...

Thanks for the cautious nod. And okay, I'll make a case. Consider southern mainland Australia where summertime seabreezes commonly build to 20-25...
Taking the last point first, that may be true in the perfect theoretical marketplace. But of course the real world marketplace is not that; it is...
Thanks for your comments but are not these issues simply design faults? Could they not all be resolved? That is, I agree that the setup you've...
Thanks to the above posters for their comments. The theory as outlined seems sound and well considered; no quibbles with any of it from me. But...
Am wondering if anyone has tried a single, centred rudder on an off-the-beach cat (12-16 feet approx). Obviously couldn't let a hull fly too high...
And the weight of course - you really don't want that up there and you'll really regret it when the conditions sour. Back up the truck; it's a bad...
Nothin bad about your age at all; as far as I remember, it was fabulous! Of course I wish I knew then what I know now, but then all crumblies say...
