Anyone know sources to buy Aluminium Foil Sections? I’m after NACA 0012 x 300mm chord.  

Thanks for the responses guys

I’m thing about getting some of this stuff for standing rigging on a trailer sailer. Anyone got any experience with it? ive used Dynex Dux on a previous boat and was pretty happy with it, but only comes in 5mm + diameter. Cheers Mojo

Thanks

Any suggestions where you can buy EVA foam non skid in Australia? Im looking for a smooth white non skid, but can only find stuff with patterns on it.  Cheers Mojo

I was wondering the same thing. I cannot imagine any way of doing it that wouldn't be a major operation.

From a financial and time perspective it's hard to justify building a boat at the moment. Second hand boats are relatively cheap whilst the cost for raw materials and fittings remain high. Having said that, I'm currently building a boat. I am doing it because that's what I want to do. I can...

Putting some serious thought in to sailing down, depends a bit on the weather though. Will make a call on it closer to the date. I love the look of your fat bottom Pogo. I'm building a smaller version at the moment. It's a new version of the 5.5m boats by Barry Colson. 2.5m wide. Built from...

Purebred Mongrel (modified Hartley 16) is entered for inshore. Still figuring out how I'll get the boat there and trailer to QCYC. Not sure if I'll tow or sail/motor. Cheers Mojo

They could do the fin and you get the bulb made locally. I gather you only just bought the boat, but I was speaking to someone on the weekend who is interested in buying it if you are interested

Weren't there plans to trial foils on the Seascape 18?

Phil's Foils do some good work. Cheers Mojo

Anyone have any info regarding this boat? Called Shinobi. Looks like a custom job, maybe a converted skiff. Cheers Mojo

It sounds like the glass will be non-structural and only there to protect the ply. Given this the glass could be pretty lightweight say 200gm or potentially even lighter. At 50:50 resin/glass = 400gm/ Sqm. Say there is 24sqm of area on your boat that is less then 10kg for the whole job. Use...

Thanks for the responses folks. I'll trial the options and see what works best. Cheers Mojo

What sort of methods do people use to attach kite sheets to the kite? I do inside gybes, but particularly in the light breezes have dramas with clew catching on the forestay during gybes. At the moment I use bow lines taped up. Any suggestions to help prevent it getting caught up? Cheers Mojo

Would love to hear more about the plans for the foils!!!
