Hi. I mean no offence, but the type of boat you describe only exists in an alternate reality. If you want load carying ability and pleasant motion to windward, a monohull is the boat of choice. If you

Good plan and no problem. Just store them in them in fresh air and out of direct sunlight. Two 9.9 Yamaha workhorses will be plenty. On crossings you only use them if there is no wind. Then only one

I joined this group due to my interest in the KD860 and it's big brother the 980 for extended ocean cruising of the circumnavigation type..... though that is not a specific goal. Being a junk rig

Hi all, does anyone have any experience using portable petrol (gasoline) tanks for the outboards on their cat? The regulations are very strict for a permanent tank mounted below deck, so that would be

Hello Hans, You are so lucky to have such a nice neighbor! I suggest that you get a different propeller (the ones for RC models are not the best solution). When I had an electric boat I bought one of

Hello Robert Yes you are right, I mean the Bosch PEC 400 AE. I have no idea what a track shaw is but use whatever suits you. The cutouts for the stringers and other small parts a jigsaw is very

Swiftrider,a lot has been said about tools all true, but remember a good artisan never blames the tools. It is your skill in using the tools that give the required result. As far as sanding is

Thanks, David, I think you are right, I will not over-invest in tools. However, I currently have only some very amateur and often old tools, so I will have to buy a few new ones for this project. But

Hi Bernd, thanks again. I think I will buy the Bosch PEC 400 AE sander ( a REC sander doesn't seem to exist). I am still considering the Festool jigsaw because I am not sure whether I really need a
