Richard I use Sicomin for years, It is a very good product I can only recommend it. Also, there fused silica, microbubbles, and from high quality

Hi has anybody got any experience of Sicomin SR5550 epoxy? I have always used West System in the past, but am fed up with the amine blush problems and looking for an alternative.

Both face to face and fillets afterwards.CheersPhilip Malan

Guiseppe. One more thing to remember with a wing mast is that it act as a sail and the boat always want to travel somewhere even if you do not, so unless you are a speed freak stay away from a

Guiseppe,?My advice is to go with the KD 1000 as is. If you want to handle the sails by yourself Put the sail controls where you can do everything as far as the sails are concerned. Add two outboard

I try to answer to myself. Made 100 the efficiency of a mainsail without battens on a fixed alu mast, for the same sail area: battened main with a rotating wing mast 130 % A frame with battened main

Ciao Richard OK I'm glad to hear this. Bye

Bernd sent me an email at 1542 yesterday (Saturday) so he was fine and in contact then.

I'd like to clarify my previous post, not to be seen as the usual presumptuous guy. Many years ago I was sailing near Genoa, that sea is known to have an "escape time" of 15 minute before the wind

Hello I'm worried about Bernd Last week there was severe bad weather between north west Italy and south France. Bernd will certainly be without internet connection to reply on the forum.

IMHO the halyard and reefing line in the cockpit is a separate matter than which rig you have; I have not sailed for 10k miles, but some decades on my wake doesn't me absolutely convinced about the

For maneuvering a large cat solo in marinas the most important thing is to be able to reach the aft clamp without stumbling along. Because that is how you park solo. Back up to the place where you

I agree with Ivan, but In my experience (10k+ miles logged), the problem sailing larger boats, and especially larger cats/tris,?single (or short) handed is not the sailing in open water, which is

In terms of sailing solo -the placement of winches and lines together with ease of reefing is more important than rig and sail configuration. If all controls are close to your steering station a 10m

Naturally I don't have any will to modify the shape, it should be another project; it was just a theoretical question about possible best matching; for example: Vee-little and simpler,

Ciao I agree not to modify or modify Bernd's drawings. The KD 860 Italy tightens the wind well towards the dead corner. If someone raises the central part of the 860 (in the past some have done so) I

O, no, dear Giuseppe, it is not that simple. A lot of knowledge and mathematics is necessary, to find the right combination of the hulls, masts, sails, length, width,?weight, clearance and a lot of

Thanks all! The cat that I'm loking for is the 1000, but it much depends by rig, generally I sail solo, not alone but solo handling, so speed and easy to manage. Well, so the hulls can be replaced one

Hi Guiseppi. I am sure Berndt will reply at some stage but in case he doesn't. Hull shape depends on many factors and is chosen by the designer to suit the brief. Very broadly speaking: V shape offers

Hi Giuseppe, Welcome to the forum! Most of the plans have hulls with a kind of trapezoidal shape that varies from plan to plan. I think this is because that shape has a mix of good performance and
