Well here is one man`s concept of thinking outside the box, for measurement inside the box, if you can understand that fuzzy logic, or drivel, you choose.:witch:
The material is from a pool noodle made of EPP, with bow shapes made from surfboard foam. The total hull weight so far is 85 grams.:batman:
The rig shown may not end up powering this hull but is a new light wind unarig with a straight carbon mast. The boom is laminated from three cedar strips taken from cedar venetian blinds.:dunce:
The central portion has a lift off lid to house the gear.
Tommorow I hope to make the fin with attached rudder that I have written of elsewhere.:darth:
We shall see if it floats like a butterfly or sails like a brick.
Very Krazy, Ian…maybe even brilliant…I can’t wait to find out how it sails…I have a tube in the garage waiting to be put to good use!
Another Krazy thought…the concept might work for monohulls with a fatter tube…remember Roger’s Crazy Tube Too 50/800 design? Think I’ll go dig out that plan.
Space Shuttle? Jet Pack?? Thie cute lil thing didn’t quite put me in mind of those… but it did make me think of the only just-add-water Footy kit currently on the market…
