Is anyone familiar with this custom Cross trimaran. The owner claims it is a little over 40' long, 26' wide, with about a 4'6" draft. He says he...
A proa.
I might be helping a gentleman go this route after he lost his keel-stepped mast. I believe there is still a stub left, and there is a mast of...
Build your own mast. You could make your own freestanding mast out of wood, fiberglass, and epoxy. Contact Gougeon Brothers for plans on doing...
Schionning seems to think it is a good idea, and doesn't seem too difficult to make it work. I could see this being practical for cruising cats...
Glad to see someone already posted this boat to this thread. If I were not in FL I would be seriously considering buying it. My 35' cruising...
I'm digging up this old post as one of these has recently surfaced and I would like to know where to find more information about these boats....
I'm starting to think that is an Eastward Ho 24, which was originally designed for wooden construction. Some of the measurements would be a bit...
Does anyone know the Center of Lateral Resistance of a Island Packet 26 MKI? I'm thinking about making some changes to the sail plan.
Current owner says it is an old timber boat... so I'm probably not interested anymore. I'm sick of finding rot in fiberglass boats, so a wooden...
I searched all 24-26' designs on sailboatdata.com and still couldn't find anything that looked quite like this: [img] The guy who lives on...

Haha, I once strapped my 7' dinghy with a 2.5HP outboard to the rear quarter of my Cal 35 and pushed it that way. I do have a Yamaha 4-stroke...
It's a beautiful boat for only $3,000. It has plenty space for me to live in, as my parents will let me use my old room at their house for...
I don't want to give the impression I can afford one 200HP engine, let alone two. If I just installed the single Perkins, would the boat be...
My 35' sailboat sank and I am having the Perkins 4.108 (50HP) pulled and pickled. I've found a Pequod 34 with no motors for what seems like a...
That is great information, I didn't even know I could find batteries shaped like that. I could definitely design a keel around those. Thank you...
If I could maintain a fair amount of storage in a ballast-battery for 5 years... that is entirely acceptable. If I could create it with 40-year...
I'm thinking of designing a small cruising sailboat and in the interest of maximizing space I dreamed up the idea that 500lbs of lead ballast...
I haven't heard of any issues with foam and know it is in general usage in the multihull community. I would suggest asking Richard Woods for...
