timber 3 Report post #3205 Posted January 25 I've got an inquiry about boats in Sydney or reasonably close so an interested guy can see one and touch it to see if there is chemistry. T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timber 3 Report post #3207 Posted January 26 So far no returns about i550's within reasonable distance of Sydney. Many have migrated to Hobart.

timber 3 Report post #3212 Posted March 10 Plan sets continue to go out to the world. Three of the recent initiates to the cult are in Georgia (USA), Brazil and Peru. Current project is pouring of a ballast bulb. But this one is a bit different. Poured in three parts with tapered dovetails to join together at destination. You're wondering why? Well the three sections fit in 3 US Postal "if it fits, it ships" boxes. and they have a weight of less than 70 pounds each which is the limit. The guy in Peru wants to know if there are sailmakers there that he is not aware of and mast suppliers. T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeerDidClam 19 Report post #3217 Posted May 4 Timb, love you guys and all that, but I've had about 8 people email me in the last month about the website and how to order plans. Are all y'all ever going to get the site back up? Want some help? Want a free site with a tiny bit of functionality but at least a landing page where folks can order things? I still have an open domain on my web provider. lemme no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coquina012 0 Report post #3218 Posted Wednesday at 03:18 PM So are plans shut down for a while on these? I am casting about for my next boat, I am not committed yet, but the i550 is for sure on the table. Does anyone have any plans they bought and changed their mind on?
