just sumbled over a short writeup about kevlar/hybrids: Aramid Hybrids: Core Composites...
Hi Dave, EDIT: PAR was faster no idea what could be done to harden the gelcoat to damage from floating objects, but you could add some top layers...
Looks nice, my personal sweetspot would be somewhere between this and an actual mini 650. Maybe mini 480
Thanks again for your valued input, greatly appreciated. On the Ply situation. There is some ply in AW100(boilproof) locally available - but only...
You're right. I was mostly focusing on the need for water resistant glue. Will try to get some ply samples for testing before ordering the lot....
The cartoppability of the Trika540 looks fine to me: http://www.metzboats.de/htm/designs/multihulls/trika540/trika540_08.jpg But overall you're...
The Highlander 14 looks very nice on the upper limit for weight but pretty comfortable option. 2rowing benches would be a great option to get...
Sorry if I'm missing the obvious - Why not for sailing? for example on a 15-16ft canoe and two optimist rigs I'd place the first mast as close...
Thanks for your advice. The Duo looks very promising. In Rowing mode i've imagined more 2person paddling. I've allready looked at the mirror but...
It's a Wagon with roof Rack and i do plan to carry it exactly as you described. Maybe even with the floats attached(retracted to the main hull) if...
I'm on the lookout for am spring project. Thread title seems somewhat impossible? But 3 Person is more 2.5 and the usage is just for getting...
The current plan is to go for a single kardan mounted outside of the transom and use 2 linear actuators 45° each(like a V) for steering and trim....
Thant's pretty much what i had in mind. Then using crossed cable or bungees fixed to the transom and use the rudder to amplify the steering
I've found some kardans allowing up to 45° angle. But torque transmission will be very uneven at angles that large. Irie, do you slide the whole...
Hi BertKu, Thanks for the advice. My Frist post was a bit ago and with advice from some much more experienced members many aspects of my Project...
Ofc longitidinal CG. It seems I'm a bit too much racecar guy... ;) At this point i do want to thank you all for your valuable input and throw my...
I have not. My proposed drivetrain is comparable in weight with an 25hp 4stroke OB. Also I can't find any mentions of CG in the RB12 plans. CG...
Stumble you right. On the other hand the rod is very resistant against deflection(vibration?). I found no specs for torsional strength of...
Sorry no continuous duty rating for the cheap china motors. The smaller 120100 is speced at max 300A. I've seen successful tests up to 250A. So...
