Great outrigger site.

This is how you do it, right?

GOT WOOD?

I can't believe he is really going to enjoy "boating" in this thing that much. The old "water line is inversely proportional to the joy/use of a boat", but for 400-800 million he better enjoy it or else!

Hope all is well with you. A friend sent me a link to a video which I really enjoyed and thought you would too. It's a site about a bloke sailing around the UK in a 19 foot boat but the quality of the vids are really excellent and there is a lot of interesting info and history about the places he visits. Very well done indeed. Don't know if you have time to watch it but recommended.

Cheers Benjy

There is an interesting discussion on strip planking at Mark's forum. Mark Bowdidge is giving us our say on the development of a new design, his 16ft offshore Centre Console fishing boat.

The responsible thing to do, but still...

Sad news, none-the-less reasonable decision..

Yes, but she's still going around! John Vigor had a prescient commentary comparing Abby's and Jesse Watson's approaches in his March 28 entry.

Is this likely to come ashore in the T200 area?

John

Nice site on Classic Wooden boats.

I've been very slack with my build due to major home improvements going on. I've got the boat more or less ready for the decks which I hope to tackle this weekend.

I've loaded some more photos if you're interested which can be seen here.

I just posted a couple of videos shot during a sail in Slider that my wife Nancy and I took Easter afternoon. It relates somewhat to the issues we've been discussing regarding Slipper. In the first video, I demonstrate how little weather helm Slider has while sailing to windward in a fresh breeze. Either that, or I've got really strong fingers. Second video. Ray

Christmas in springtime: The Plastiki finds land. More than a month after the Plastiki set sail from San Francisco, the six-person crew has made it to Christmas Island, nearly marking the halfway point of the ship's journey to cross the Pacific Ocean.

Malibu Outrigger plans, 1958. I think the gap between the gaff and the mast interesting. It allows for adjusting the Centre of Effort it seems.

An interesting online tide clock. Seems to work for most places in the world.

G'day Everyone,
Going like mad with 4 new designs on the board (16ft Offshore Console, Shoreline 7000 and the 18 ft Bass Boat). Just thought I'd give a sneak preview of this new design. I'll bring updates as they occur. Interested in comments. Regards
Mark Bowdidge
