Hi Rod Nice to see your Zephyr's Delight floating. She looks great. A pity with the mainsail. I know you have many other interesting things on your to-do list So have fun. Cheers Bernd

*Sorry Road, at the Moment I'm finishing the Duo 900. * For the 2024 they propose to me the Building of other Cats. Ciao Domenico

Ciao Bernd Il Duo 900 tranne la randa e' una barca finita. Sto lavorando al KD 122 ancora agli interni il cliente e' fissato sulla bellezza. Poi mi rimane la vernice, antiscivolo e accessori. Per

Wonderful news, Dominico. Will you fabricate a carbon fibre mast for your ECO 6? I will be watching very carefully.

Hi I changed the rig of the ECO 520. To make handling more easy, omit the small jib. Then coming about is a lot easier. You do not need a traveler for the jib, but an out haul when not sailing on the

Thank you for your letter. Mmm, more as a letter. Somebody had sent me some photos of how the boat looked after the hurricane. But they disappeared in the jungle of my computer files. I remember only

Any time Rod :) it would be a pleasure! Where are you located? Take care, Jeff

Thank you for sharing your story and the photos of Galacticat (Lucia). It is an inspiring story - very helpful for us builders when we go through a slump in our enthusiasm. :-) And of course, as a

Very nice!?

@Bernd, thanks for the reply regarding the differences between rigs. Sounds logical! When looking at the ECO520 image with the mast-aft setup, I see two jib sails in parallel and I am trying to

Hello everyone, I recognize this forum is for those building Mr. Kohler's multihulls and I'd like to preface this post by acknowledging how much respect I have for all of you who are building

The mast-aft setup is one of the big reasons why I chose the ECO 520. I'd also like more details though on exactly how it works. The images in the plans show two travelers at the very rear called jib

With the 520 you can have the option of the bi plane rig if you prefer. After building and owning the Duo 480 the bi plane rig would be my first choice. cheers Bryan ps the Eco 6 is a great boat. I

There is no difference sailing a jib rig to any other rig. Only, in this case the handling is easier (furling to shorten sail etc). Of course, you can not sail to windward with the jib in your dingy.

It is wonderful to hear someone else who will build an ECO 6. It is a great design and I am sure you will be happy with your decision to build one. Mine is nearing completion and I expect to launch it

Hi Paul The plans are electronic files, so you can’t lay a pattern on the plywood, but it is really a straight forward process to mark the needed points with the included table of offsets. The lines

I'm interested in the ECO520 as well. But I'm wondering what the (dis)advantages will be with the double jib rig. The eco520 page does not go into details about this rig. How will it compare to a

Hi Paul Nice to hear that you want the ECO 6 plans. No problems about slow post. I send plans direct as attchments to an email. Normally, you order and between 36 hours you have your plans. I

Thank you Sir for your expert input. I will build the ECO 6. Will order the plans in October. What is the best way for me to receive the build plans in Philippines. It takes 2 months to get a letter

Thank you for your through, David. The ceramic tiles of the Space shuttle are glued to the hull with a special epoxy. The temperature when entering the earth atmosphere was estimated at around 3,200
