The notorious George from Greece got me again. Paypal seized my funds again. Recall that he bought plans for a powercat design in early December and wanted them emailed. That was done, including dxf lines for all parts needing that. Recall also that he also later demanded the plans be revised from foam/glass to plywood/epoxy at no cost to him. When I told him that extra work had to be paid for, he got a full refund from Paypal. Even though he had the plans. Paypal later decided in my favor.
Just today Paypal seized my funds again. His bank in Greece seized the funds from Paypal, and Paypal in turn took mine, again. So again I have to forward all the emails and information showing he got his plans. I, and any other designer has to feel very vulnerable using Paypal. I cannot even confront his bank. Earlier someone noted other designers only accept bank drafts or similar. Very dangerous situation. And instead of designing, I spend today putting together my case. Again.
I get all my needed and possible fiberglass products here at McMaster-Carr. http://www.mcmaster.com/#
I mostly buy G-10 fiberglass sheets to fabricate into door flanges, winch bases and the like. My friends at CSR Marine buy reams of the stuff.
Interlux has a new app that should help customers with painting. Find it at itunes for iphone and Google Play for the others. Or www.yachtpaint.com/usa
I see the server is down again. That used to be frequent, but it has been a while now. That means no email and the website is also down. I do have a gmail somewhere, but its after 7 in the evening so will hit it tomorrow. I’m sure they can fix it by then.
Here is a non Facebook link to be able to track the voyage of the KHSD 50 something cruising cat. Follow the Sailboat by satellite. When the map appears, if you click on the boat and each dot behind them you can get the location, direction, and speed.
Ok Ok, there is so much Alii Nui stuff here. They just keep having such great pictures and articles. One of my 65′ x 36′ daycharter cats.
A model on display at Costco. I want one.
This view sums up the wonderfulness of being on a cat like Alii Nui. Put on those fins and shuffle down into the warm water to visit the reef. Notice the two lanes for up and down apart.
