Goat Island Skiff - The Build Process
http://gis.bitingmidge.com/construction.html
In June 1994 this all seemed like such a huge undertaking to us. We had few tools, not much space to work and no experience building boats. There were no digital cameras, and the internet was in it's infancy as we know it. I managed to document most of the stages of construction quite crudely, but there have been many advances in technology since, and lots of better records have been kept since. For those with a nostalgic bent! Really did happen in the only space available; our living room. In what seeme...

Bolger's Brick became a Puddleduck, then a PDRacer, now it's a Kiwi PDR, Catbox and an Ozracer!: November 2008
http://pdracer.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 26, 2008. Fitting a simple towing ring for club racing. Most boats will not need that industrial grade solution above. Click on the picture right for a larger view. For (occasional) emergency towing the crew stays in the boat. you need a guide ring or fairlead on the bow. Club racing in Australia requires that it is 25mm internal diameter as a minimum. The tow ring on the bow is much simpler! For non club racing . a fairlead like this is neater. Tuesday, November 25, 2008. The "ducks"...

Bolger's Brick became a Puddleduck, then a PDRacer, now it's a Kiwi PDR, Catbox and an Ozracer!: OzRacer sailing in strong winds
http://pdracer.blogspot.com/2014/02/ozracer-sailing-in-strong-winds_3609.html
Wednesday, February 26, 2014. OzRacer sailing in strong winds. This OzRacer mk2 has a number of changes from the original design, but Bob has pulled it off. OzRacer very simple sailboat in two versions. Sails extremely well. The biggest risk is that the windsurfer mast might break because it is not meant to be supported in this way – it is meant to be held up higher by the arms of the sailor. However … Bob has been out in rough water a few times (see below) and well and truly gotten away with it! One las...

Bolger's Brick became a Puddleduck, then a PDRacer, now it's a Kiwi PDR, Catbox and an Ozracer!: Setting up a leeboard PDRacer or OzRacer or other boat for righting after capsize
http://pdracer.blogspot.com/2013/07/setting-up-leeboard-pdracer-or-ozracer.html
Sunday, July 07, 2013. Setting up a leeboard PDRacer or OzRacer or other boat for righting after capsize. Capsize happens to everyone . and if you are prepared it is trivial to overcome. The problem with leeboard boats is that if they capsize the leeboard can be out of reach. That means you have to have a recovery line. The Storerboats website has information about how to set up a retracting righting line. For when the leeboard is out of reach. The reason . the newish OzRacer RV. Our Latest Blog Updates.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Texas 200 mile race has several ducks. This year's event started on Monday - Texas time! It is a 200 mile event with a fleet of boats making their own time up the coast to meet for the Magnolia Beach Messabout. They meet together at a camp each night. It is predominantly a downwind sail - PREDOMINANTLY! The fleet numbers looked like being around the 50 mark with 5 PDRacers in the list. Kevin Allison "Duck 'n Out". Jon Kowitz and "Ranger". I will post here as the event continues.

Tuesday, July 09, 2013. Mark Milam has the most spectacularly gorgeous Duck in creation. Mark wanted to do something a bit different with his "Duck". He's a good thinker and has a lot of good taste.

http://pdracer.blogspot.com/2012/03/ozracer-modified-wins-puddle-duck-world.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. OzRacer modified wins Puddle Duck World titles 2011. As many know the world titles have been won the last three years by boats either designed or modified from Storerboat versions. These boats no longer comply with the rules of the PDRacer class . so you have to make similar changes to Brad Hickman's boat that won in 2011. 2009 - Georgia USA - Shawn Payment in an OzRacer Mk2. 2010 - Canada - Rick Landreville in what is now known as the OzRacer RV. While preparing for the race at...

Bolger's Brick became a Puddleduck, then a PDRacer, now it's a Kiwi PDR, Catbox and an Ozracer!: OzRacer Mk3 revisited - simple sailboat by Storerboatplans
http://pdracer.blogspot.com/2012/03/ozracer-mk3-revisited-simple-sailboat.html
Wednesday, March 21, 2012. OzRacer Mk3 revisited - simple sailboat by Storerboatplans. I recently found this blog about building a OzRacer Mk 3 sailboat (it doesn't comply with the PDRacer rules). It was stillborn a couple of years ago. The wonderful Rick Landreville built a Mk3 prototype. However I handed the plan as it existed to a number of builders who had bought the OzRacer Mk2 plans for them to combine the details of both to complete their own version of the OZ Mk3. The 4 x 2 are temporary spacers.

Monday, July 13, 2009. Michael Storer's shoestring tour of the USA. The PDRacer community and Duckworks have grouped together to collect small amounts of money to put together to bring me to the USA to go to various "messabouts" (messing around in boat weekends) as well as the Intergalactic Championships of the PDRacers in Georgia in October. Duckworks is collecting and managing the contributions. Http:/ www.duckworksbbs.com/boatmik.htm. My itinerary is looking something like this. Train or Bus to Oregon.
