You could look at Selway Fisher's 1i' Hawk design. It's a neat looking design and looks very economical and easy to build.
Neat little kitbash you have here.
Emailed Richard and he suggested possibly making the joint between the spreaders and hounds due to that spot on the mast being stronger but less...
That is a really good idea. I think is still want to use a cotter pin on the top section to prevent it from twisting independently of the bottom...
That sounds like a great idea. I'll want to double check the figures for the height on the hounds/trapeze and go and measure my garage to be...
21 feet, diagonally.
I'd be reliant on finding one that is a two piece which would need a bit of luck. However, I did find a German site that sells hobie parts which...
Thought of that too. Diagonally, inciuldnonky fit something up to about 22 feet.
The primary issue here is that getting inside the mast to prepare the surface of the aluminum would be extremely difficult.
Already considered that. I live in a townhouse. Got some garage space, a very small front yard, and that's it. Dont want to lean it up against...
Okay, so I've been looking into it some. It looks as though the Hobie 16 mast does not taper, so it should be feasible to do the following: Have...
I was thinking that the fiberglass would be held in place by a combination of the fasteners holding the standing rigging on the mast and some...
After much thought I am pretty much set on building a Woods Design Quattro 16. My initial plan was to just buy a used Hobie 16 mast, but when I...
Here is something I threw together to give a rough approximation of the rig I was thinking of. It's not to scale or anything, but it shows what I...
This has been an incredibly helpful post. Thank you very much. So, a little more info on my situation. I am limited by my workspace to a length...
This actually may be the best application for the junk rig. I could see the possibility if rigging it so that there is no need to have a "bad...
Actually, I am curious what your criticisms of Wharram's designs are? I'm not arguing, I would genuinely like to know. I agree with the pricing,...
Okay, so can you clarify a bit? I really only expressed interest in doing two modifications and more or less simply wanted to know if any of the...
Why bother with a monohull when there are plenty of fast multihull designs? Why bother with non foiling designs when there are foiling designs...
Thanks for the responses everybody. I have seen the multihulls on Selway Fisher and they didnt quite appeal to me. My other two options I was...
