We are a bit closer to sorting that out. It seems the shopping cart cannot tolerate no shipping charge. Waiting for answers but for now, again the best work-around seems to be order a book, tell the cart bot that you live in Botswana, and email me the study set you actually want emailed to you.

A nice shot of James’ plywood box beam bowtube end. A composite chainplate.

Unit #2 of the Lake Victoria catamaran ferries is waiting patiently. The lee side looks like it needs a bath. I hope they get it cleaned up and going soon.

John here on the west coast of Canada has some cost figures for various core approaches to his 40 trimaran.

“I just got a quote for cedar strip 1/2″ x 11/2” for a $1,05/ lin ft…that $8/sq.ft.

Resin $317.60 – 5gal pail

hardener $142.41 – 1gal”

Delightful meeting with Dan. Turns out a wave stove in the door in the front and it all went downhill from there. I do stand corrected about it having too much windage for offshore;  it was never intended to go offshore.  Except when it did.

Dan thinks he might rebuild, but ship it home in bits safe in a container. It would need accurate 3D modeling to sort out the pieces then. Glad to meet Dan.
