Hi all! -
As I haven’t seen a lot of action or discussion here lately, I’m restarting my rc-multihull-activities! -
New pics, ideas and designs can be seen on:
http://community.webshots.com/user/boatbuilder
and in the technical discussions area of this forum!
Best wishes, Ernst Zemann/Austria

Hi Ernst,
That’s some great looking work. Can you give a little more detail on how you shaped the foam? Will this be covered with glass cloth or is the foam simply going to be used as a mold? Did you used cross section templates & hot wire to cut sections of hull and then glue the pieces together? They look like they were shaped out of one piece. If it is one piece, can you share the techniques used to get the proper shape?
Regards,
Mark
Mark - look here - step-by-step instructions/photos by Jean Margail. He’s designer of the WATER RESIST Mini40 and 2 Meter multihulls from France.
Hi Mark and Dick -
Jean Margail’s way to do it isn’t too bad, but my own method is much more effective and also a lot more precise! -
And my hulls become a lot lighter too! -
But remember this:
To know, HOW I’m doing it,
doesn’t necessarily mean,
you can do it as well! -
It takes a lot of experience
and training,
to shape them as precise as I can do it! -
But why shouldn’t we make a game out of this question?
“The first one, who is able to tell the exact sequence of HOW I’m shaping my foam plugs, will get a complete set of selfbuilding plans of my new F60 “Evolution” for FREE! -”
Interested?

And everybody, who follows your attempts to solve my secret, will also gain knowledge - right?
Who dares to pick up the challenge first???
Good luck, Ernst Zemann

<font size=“1”>“As I have absolutely NO INTENTION, to SELL any F60’s - there is no reason for me, to make any false PR or so - it’s just what I have observed.

Yaaaaawn…[:-sleep]
Well, Wis -
don’t you think a man got a right to change his mind?
Ooh, YES - he does HAVE THIS RIGHT! -
And don’t you see, that you just get back from me, what you give to me most of the time -…- NOTHING?
Give something positive to me -
and you get something positive BACK -
if not -…- well -…-
And that applies to everybody else as well! -
Positive, constructive and or creative INPUT for me -
and positive OUTPUT from my side follows! -
For hollow phrases you’ll get back an IDENTICAL VALUE as well!
