Re: Is it still worth it
Your so true about this, but if you have the money available and if the design ticks all your boxes....
On the other hand, for half a million I could build 3 boats of the type I'm building right now,

Hi Domenico
Thank you. But the boat was only mentioned as an example.

Re: Is it still worth it
This is one of these PR gags (suppress unwanted shading)
Question from my side. How to suppress unwanted shading when the shadow from a 12mm rope reduces the power output from a solar panel by 40%?

Roof insulation
Hi Bernd, is it a good idea to use one layer of divinicell 60g/m2
sandwiched on the cabin roof to obtain some kind of insulation?
Here in the tropics the sun can warm a lot inside the boat.

Re: Building tiny tri for Grandson while waiting for marine ply for 520
Hi Mike
They are regular battens you can buy in water sports article shops.
For the mast use Aluminium. The sails are fastened to the mast as any sail with a sleeve.
