Your statement is quite confusing, Berndt. Taken literally, it implies that we should also use other addresses, not only this one. I doubt if that is actually the meaning you intended. Rand Dosey, Iloilo, Philippines

Hi Giuseppe, do you have email notifications turned on for this forum? If so, please look at today's emails. You will see that the email addresses are shown in full in those notifications. For some reason, when viewing this online forum, groups.io truncates any email addresses so they all look the same!
But hopefully this method works: bernd at?ikarus342000 dot com

Hi Bernd,
It is Chris from Nova Scotia. I would like to say I am sorry for all these people bothering you,likely 95% are dreamers and will never even build.. Society these days requires there hand to be held for everything.I respect you as a designer¡it seems some think you should be a instructor also!! All the best,Chris

Very true Chris, i purchased the eco6 plans october 2 or 3, i got a strong back made which i didn't have to go that way but i thought it would help keep everything in place. I measured,marked and cut out bulkheads for 1 hull and cut out the stringer and chine notches and was ready to apply epoxy to seal the plywood and then i was hit with a very bad virus, 4 weeks and it's almost over now. The worst sinus infection i have ever seen, couldn't lay down cause i would start coughing. No doctors and i have beat it and i plan to begin work again on the boat monday. A month behind but hey it doesn't matter. I'm glad i decided to build this boat and if it turns out ok i plan on building a kd860 for more sailing freedom. Everyone needs to experience what it is like to build a boat. I know i will feel blessed the day it touches water. Happy sailing from Philippines.

Hi Chris, what did we (and, more specifically, I!) do wrong? In this thread we were merely responding to Bernd's request to help with funding to keep this forum alive. That's what I did once the error with the email address had been cleared up. It was only $10 that I contributed but it's not clear to me how doing so was evidence of me bothering Bernd.
But I am 'dreaming' right now, and in my first post in this thread I made it clear that I may well end up not buying a full plan set, but also I stated that I think this forum is a great resource in addition to the information within the small number of Bernd's study plans that I have purchased. I expect that study plans' revenue is useful for Bernd or he would not sell them, as well as helping dreamers like me narrow down their search and occasionally leading to an actual build project.
Apologies, Adrian

Hi Firstly an apology for anyone my comments offended. I do not know any of you or the designer. My motivation for the email was for Bernd to get something back in the form of an recognition and an apology for all the emails. All the best with your builds. Chris

Hello, After some more time to reflect on my poor behaviour¡ I can only offer a humble apology. I have shown some of the terrible side of humanity. I think the group and like minded people are an increfmdibly healthy thing for small boats whether you are a dreamer or not. I am 100% guilty as I have certainly purchased more plans than I have built!!! I hope I have not taken too much from the positivity and joy that this group and small boats bring. My roots are dinghy racing and as broad as square rig sailing and presently in my 25 th year as a saturation diver in the offshore. I have owned every manner of craft but can honestly say the fondest memories have been in small simple boats with good friends. Please understand that I am embarrassed with my comments. Kind regards,Chris

Chris you didn't do or say anything wrong. Things are seen and read by different people and most will have a different understanding of what was really meant. Now back to my epoxy mixing that didn't work out my first time. After 3 hours it's still gooey. I don't think i mixed it long enough.thats why i used pieces of wood for trials a not boat material.

Nobody did something wrong. We can have misinterpretations and understandings, but we sort these out here. As done by these.
To the Epoxy. I think it was not the stirring but the wrong mixture. Epoxy is sensitive to this. Remember: Hardener and component two form together, Epoxy.
When you have one too much, it can not be cure. The whole lot stays soft.

Hello Bernd?
I just sent you a small amount via PayPal. I'm glad to support this group, it's been great help for me and many others.
Cheers, Pete?

I used a scale to get exact amount of epoxy and hardner. The reason it didn't harden was because i didn't mix it enough, after mixing it still looked cloudy with micro bubbles. The second time i mixed until all tgese bubbles was gone and let it set for couple minutes then mixed more. Now i know how to properly mix epoxy. Now it's boat building time.?
