Not exactly. Most brands' 90 hp and above are available in 25" and several of the V6/V8 come even in 30". Back to the little ones, there is...
The OP would do well to search for a Hirondelle 23'. They come up occasionally in the low teens and he can, if he wishes, remove the rigging and...
Thanks, of course I knew of his passing but I didn't know about his wife selling the designs. Any idea how to contact her? Google nix. And how...
This Newick design has me intrigued: http://m.seacoastonline.com/article/20030820/NEWS/308209978 Has anybody here come across this design or...
+1 Excellent point Teddy. Another issue that I've raised but gotten no answer to is the cost of the entire BR -including the headsail-...
I'm with you ElGringo. People row across the Atlantic too but I'd prefer a fully crewed maxi.
Very interesting and thanks for the link, good reading. The Chris White Mastfoil rig had me convinced long ago of the power of the mast....
Richard, I think Bob Oram may no longer be active, his websites have been taken down.
No headsail present, doesn't that cost money? How fast is a Marconi under main alone? For outright speed there is no doubt in my mind that the...
The dipping lug would be more work though. That boat pointed as high as we were and looked better doing it. Factor the cost advantage of his rig...
After watching a ~30ft mono double ender with a balanced lug rig tack the ICW singlehanded in windy conditions, I'm left wondering why this rig...
+1. Having negotiated the St.Marys and the Jupiter inlets in a 32ft twin engine I want no repeats in outgoing tide and incoming wave...
And constant with my luck the designer/builder Bob Oram's website has been closed. This is really the best I've found so far. I must see if...
Thank you Manfred and good of you to bring the Scoota in this discussion. Yes I am aware of them and the 28' is under serious consideration....
Found this page, could be of interest: http://duckworksbbs.com/plans/kohler/index.htm
El Gringo! I also Emailed Bernd and he responded with two photos of a 40hp twin, probably the same ones you have. For me the design fits my...
Many thanks. I'm also thinking small twins. What would your application be? Rurudyne, thanks as well.
On this website the links to "Contact" and "Home" go to blank pages. Does anybody know how to get in touch with him? He shows a ECO75 power cat...
Nice boat. I had a 30 which I raced PHRF out of Alamitos Bay in SoCal until I lost my crew when my sons and their friends graduated and moved on....
Transport within the US is the least of my worries. Finding the boat that will do all I'm asking of it is the big issue here.
