6.5 to 7.5 metre performance/cruise multihulls

I think you named it above 'Spoiled Chook'.

 

Why not, to honor you obvious and ever returning flingy thingy with the persistent squawking feathery one, "L'Oeuf en Or" to keep up the apparent perpetual paradox.
which would, arty farty wise I imagine, put you right up in eternal spheres with other egg loving artists like Picasso and Dali, even Fabergé and Benedict.
And also would, don't forget, solidify your relationship with la belle poule, perhaps even earn the chook's ever lasting love.
Now, wouldn't that be great?

L'Oeuf de vent, non?

 

This oeuf d'or thing is out of control?
Sorry I even mentioned the indulged chook.
She is clucky again too and screams at me with savagery upon my shed entry. And it is my territory.
Traitorous and treacherous behaviour on her part too - since she's spoiled with gourmet cereales, fromage, les raisins aussi.

 

The question is perhaps, is the clucky one aware of your and her own territorial behavior?
She might be frightened by scrambling for all the right reasons in spite the raisins, I recently heard a scientist explain why the egg must have been first, perhaps that will comfort her.
Anyway, I'm sure you two work out the complex relationship and hope the broody one, despite her animus character, isn't too much in your way when working the perfection nonchalante of your foiling lightness.

 

How about Chicken Soup ? Cures what ails you

 

Raison (raisin = grapes) d'etre?
Doesn't have the right ring to it - Poulet, raisin d'etre, also too many letters to hand paint for this lazy Kiwi.
But thanks for all the concerned and intellectual suggestions - all for the right "raison?"

 

Yeah, Tricky territory I know, but hey, I love Life.
Raison d'etre? possible, possible, but since it appears that everything that is truly happening is considered reality one might perhaps better speak of to be or not to be.
Best not to feed her feathered majesty the sour ones though, or would it?
Also really not certain if I'm making any sense, not natively speaking kiwi, sure try to.

 

You make perfect sense, Hielan. That savage bird gobbles grapes, even rotten ones - and looks round for more. Oeufs still taste kapai as the Maori say here.
For you obsessed bird lovers, here is the spoiled one taking over the house.

 

After indulging the fruits of your Shedy mind wanderings I bet she expects it to be flying soon, the carpet that is naturellement.
Perfect sense aye? Thanks, I think, never been accused of that before over here but coming from a lazy loony Kiwi like you I try taking it as a compliment.
Allez mon ami, bonne chance avec votre légère bâtiments de vol en voile du foil.
One thing's for sure though, votre poule n'est pas un canard ou kiwi, non?

 

Touche on your part Heilan; you have exposed me and I am silenced. Cheers.

 

No Gary, I'm the one who lost touch, sorry for that. I'll shut up now.

 

Not unsimilar looking foiler

Not to unsimilar to what you are trying to achieve in looks Gary

 

Yes, I've commented before about this design - and they beat me to it ... while I took the easy way out by fixing the beam solid on Sid 8.5 instead of swinging it as per original concept. So kudos to them - but it seems that this is a powered boat and not intended for sailing. Although shouldn't be too difficult to change.
The 6.5 work has been halted for a while (bullying chook has taken over shed) because I'm getting big Groucho ready for summer; have removed the trampoline alloy tube frames and shortened the curved mainsheet track and added an extra brace (to stop it ripping itself skywards with the traveller car downtrack in a breeze). There is still plenty of track for control; similar to the setup on Sid 8.5 - and I've saved some weight - which is always a good thing for an extremist. But there is only a dangerous void, no tramp, each side of cockpit - but I can carry my two piece dinghy there each side instead - for those who are nervous.
In this earlier Groucho photograph the track now goes to, and finishes, at the first thin brace from aft.

 

It's a sailing foiler......

 

Theirs is not yet a sailing foiler, Doug.
Here's a shot of the 6.5m on its side; been working on small things like rudder attachments, tiller, forestay semi-bulkhead and so on.
