Gentlemen am I correct that there are plans for an 11 meter Duo 900? Could you tell me more about the project?

Hi Dale
I wish you the best. ?Beside what Bernd said, you might also consider the Eco 5.5 as it is also quite simple, trailerable, and you can camp with the family in or on it. Having a boat that is too wide to easily (legally) pull behind a car means you must keep the boat in a boatyard or on the water, and both of those can be very expensive. Boats like to have some attention, so building a boat that you can keep at home on a trailer seems like it would work.
I am building the Voyager, but I plan on moving aboard with my family when we launch.?

Hi Dale

When I see what you need. The logical choice would be the KD 650. The boat has reasonable accommodation. and Is easy to sail.?
The boat can be trailered too. See also the following video.?

Hi All

So, I have been watching Bernd's website, this group and his plans for many years already (7 or 8 I believe). I used to live on a narrow boat in the UK but have always wanted a sea going boat.

I'm pretty handy and already build a canoe using the same epoxy and plywood principles to get some practise in for the day I can finally do this.

My dream is to build the Pelican. I read about how Bernd lived on his for 12 years and that just seems an amazing prospect, but for me and my family, we definitely don't need anything like that now.

So my question is, where to start? I'm an expat living in Slovakia, so it is inland and in order to get as much practise as possible, I require something great for short weekend trips, but I can just rent.?

The dream right now would probably be the Eco 7, and then I would dock it in Croatia or Slovenia, so we can use it for family holidays 2 or 3 times a year. Is that too crazy for a first build? And, does anyone have an idea how I would get it from Slovakia to the sea? (I guess trucking it)

If you think the Eco 7 is too complex or large for a first project, where would you recommend to start??

I apologize as this is quite a long message, but we are excited to hear from you! Also, if anyone is based over in CEE, I would love to meet for a beer and hear your stories!

Thanks

Dale

Greeting Bryan
I will try my best good advise. Thank

thank you Patrick I found a builder in Ukraine I waiting the coast from him.

Greetings Adel

it seems like everyone else has gone to sleep for the Christmas holidays so I will wish you welcome to the group. I like the look of the P95. Good luck with finding a builder, but maybe you should consider building yourself. Start with a smaller project perhaps to gain confidence

kind regards
Bryan

Hi Adel
I look forward to seeing your pictures of your new P95.?

I wish you the best in the search for a place to build.
Patrick

Happy New Year to all the forum!!!!

Best wishes Patrick

With love from our family to you and yours

This might be a good stage to make a point: read the plans. If there is something on the side drawing that is hard to understand, look at the front and rear drawings as well. Then perhaps things may fall into place. Unfortunately Bernd can not put every detail on his plans into 3D. Nor do other designers. In fact Bernds plans have got far more detail than most other designers, to be honest.

Merry Christmas everyone

OK, thanks, that's the answer I looked for; it should be interesting to calculate It in carbon circular section.

No, a skeg is a skeg a V, or food well is an additional structural piece. In this case for the bridge deck and lower rudder housing.
