I have jumped out of my boat and gone past the knees into the mud. Not nice! What comes to mind is something like a pair of ski poles with wide...
The inflatable shaped boats have a king though. The Mac 360. I had a 360 attack model with a 25hp. There is no other boat that I would use to...
Mitch I can offer some first-hand experience. I was one, a temporary resident in Fiji. I had a good fishing spot just out from a groyne that was...
Andrew Do you have any interest in developing your boat further? I have an idea that might work very well with your existing setup
Guys, do have to keep in context. An efficient cruiser is very different from an efficient exerciser! I have selected a heavy system deliberately...

Regarding FRP composite sandwich When designing very small hulls to use as models or proof of concepts, how is the laminate schedule addressed?...
I am curious, have you done any performance simulations on your hull? Scale model testing?
HDPE is an awesome hull material when implemented correctly, but not that great for a sole. It will be heavy in the required thickness and still...
Take a look at some thundercat vids on youtube. See how they skim in the surf? I believe that optimising COG and increasing air dam area will...
I understand now. It's a very interesting concept
Still not too happy about resorting to a foiler. The whole intention is to reduce things in the water as much as possible and hydro foiling is the...
We did some projects. Made a custom sized bed. Made a ply grass sled. It didn't work as expected. Tried a HDPE knee board and that didn't work...
I can't get my head around scaling as I don't know enough about that. Also don't know how to implement a human power at scale size. Visited the...
Thats a good one. Looking more into that right now I estimate a short of 9 sheets for that project. There is only one outlet here that sells XPS...
