The experimental vessel features a crab claw sail and a unique sliding outrigger arrangement. Kim writes:. Firstly, I would like to say a BIG thank you to Proafile for giving me mountains of useful information and encouragement to actually build this boat. I have been accessing your pages for over 3 years and this boat design is the result. Blushing*. Read on ». Project Cheers: 2016 Edition.

GALLERY Click images to enlarge. Rudders and centerboards with hydrofoils, profiled arms, wing masts… after the 34th America’s cup, it would be easy to say “we are in the age of wings”. And now it’s not only on multihulls but also on monohulls! However, wing masts and hydrofoils on sailboats are not a new invention. In 1913 Alexander Graham Bell and Casey Baldwin built. A hydrofoil sailing model. In 1938, Robert Rowe Gilruth, the “father of America’s human space flight”, built. Project Cheers: 2016 Editi...

GALLERY Click images to enlarge. Of Nantes, France, aims to improve the speeds of passenger vessels by harnessing the flow of apparent wind. The catamaran employs planing stepped hulls similar to a seaplane, but the resemblance to a flying machine doesn’t stop there. The central bridgedeck is carefully shaped into a wing that creates aerodynamic lift and reduces both displacement and drag:. The flying saucer-like shape of the vessel is certainly arresting.

ARPEX: Gunboat G4 changes the game
http://arpex.blogspot.com/2015/04/gunboat-g4-changes-game.html
A blog about sailing and building a boat in Rio de Janeiro. Or whatever else I might want to post. Domingo, 12 de abril de 2015. Gunboat G4 changes the game. Gunboat has launched its brand new G4 last week, and is now testing the boat. It is an awesome weekender, which will surely change the game in the sailing world.

A blog about sailing and building a boat in Rio de Janeiro. Or whatever else I might want to post. Domingo, 12 de abril de 2015. Still working on it. Saturday had me on the boat, where I sanded the beams and boom for the last step of finishing. I also took advantage of the very fine day, to take a nap, and chill on my boat. I very much enjoyed it. Just for the sake of precaution, I decided to store the outboard inside the boat. Which is why you don't see it mounted here. Assinar: Postar comentários (Atom).

Now I am just putting the finishing touches on a sleeve, which will hold the beams to the bulkheads, additionally to the bolts. The challenge now will be to install the beams.
