    :D Great product!
    Add this to Your web, so boat dreames can buy online :)

    Add a fan to produce wind, and garden sprinker to produce spray for full imitation of sailing, as extra options :)

    Chris,

    no logic what so ever to this comment! Balancing on your keel - what would a sacrificial skeg have achieved? Undoubtedly your rudder was shorter than your keel!

    can you point me to any boat that is built with a sacrificial skeg (not the skiff type board but a rudderprotector)?

    khunian, there is no point to discuss it.

    Read what Gerard Kennedy said:
    So on original Warram's design the rudders were damaged! What protection of bottom and rudder You are talking about?
     
  5. we are now finalizing an armchair with STRUCTURAL skeg. But the armchair driver poster will be ... sacrificial.

    Sheesh you are like a dog with a bone, the yacht was a Westerly Fulmar with a transom hung rudder, yes it was shorter than the keel by about 200 mm. The boat was in a moderate sea maybe a metre to a metre and a half.

    She was balanced about the keel, yes, but pitching fwd and aft and yawing port and starboard and being lifted by the waves.

    Pivoting about the keel, when she pitched forward the buoyancy of the hull then caused her to pitch aft slamming the rudder into the sand. No logic! every 10 seconds or so the rudder would ground with a thump that reverberated through the hull.

    If the Tiki was in the same situation, which is unlikely as she is a much shallower draft compared to the Fulmars 1.8 metres, the skeg which is not integral with the backbone but very securely attached to the hull would have protected the hull and the rudder, the Skeg of the Tiki is not a structural weakness as you have assumed, but a firmly attached appendage

    Bet I can name your favourite tune in one - "I can't get no satisfaction" :D

    Chris,

    I think RB answered the question. That is all I wanted.

    After originally stating that the skeg was not integral / structural but designed to be sacrificial (indicating a designed weakness) he indicated that it is meant to support the rudder loads (and possible impact) and not be sacrificial. Although neither he nor Alik did any calculations to see what the long term rudder loads will do to the glass / expoy appendage's stability.

    If people answered the questions directly without making snide remarks meant to indicate their "superior status" (at least in their minds) then perhaps a clearer picture would have been evident. Even your own post about a skeg made no sense and was illogical even though it was an amusing tale.

  8. Yes right, needs a FEM analysis calculation on this Tiki part, exactly as Wharram design.... ma per favore!!
