you give them hell Johnny, can't wait to see it go at the Holy gale, love the traveler/Burt

Nice Job !!
How much sail do you have there? It doesnt look like too much to me but I am a Tubby

I have 2- 5 sm sized sails. One full one flat. The flat one may need to have the luff curve recut. I plan on getting a 4 sm sail too.

I had the boat out today for the first shake down. I had a few fasteners shake loose and a squeeky starboard wheel. Other than that it sailed well in little wind.

I just want to see you smoke Dennis

Thanks for the heads-up on the yahoo group! We can only hope of achieving such a neat and tidy build as yours. It looks fantastic.

Thanks again.
Johann ( and the rest of the guys! )

I would be happy to try to answer any questions you may have as you build.

some light wind sailing last week

sweet!!!!!!!
I would be inclined to make up a second axle that is much softer and lower. I think when your yacht cranks up on clay it is gonna react VERY quickly and be a handful and with a softer axle it will ride gusts better , not hurt you as much AND go even faster.
my predictions are based puely on crashes on our local claypan which is essentially a red ivanpah

It's very cool
