After nearly a year of working on my Navigator,
I finally got around to creating a blog. Better late than never
I guess <grin>. If anyone is interested, the blog can be
found here:

I've recently completed a mostly paper boat. I
say "mostly" because by mass it is easily more paint,
wood, and sticky glue-type stuff. It is probably better described
as a skin on frame boat with a fairly rigid paper skin for a hull,
and a fairly minimal wooden frame. And it is made primarily from
materials leftover from other projects or those slated for the
trash bin. I spent $14 on some more varnish and a box of brass
screws. The rest I found, impatiently waiting to be turned into
a part of a boat. I've started a blog
here. And at the top there is a link to a web album
with more pictures, including the first few voyages. It was loads
of fun, and anyone could do it. I look forward to hearing what
you think! Grange |

Here's
a new video, featuring Jim Luckett from SailBoatsToGo,
sailing our W500 upwind, standing up, sans outriggers. BTW, the
W500 is 28.5" wide... I did something similar a few years
back, with our smaller model (W300) and a smaller, DIY crab claw
sail rig. Yoav, wavewalk.com

I wish make known our class
10 '(DIY boat). It' s a amateur sailing class where
boats can be up to 10 'of any type (monohull and multihull) and
8 sqm sail area up. The site is now unfortunately in italian [translated],
but there are many photos. A movie (perhaps the only) is located
at this link. We have fun like that! The three of Creedence songs
have no meaning except "Molina" because the Italian
sailors perceive "Bolina" (up-wind). Regards, Renzo

I'm Gianfi and I know that you like unusual boats
like me! I only want to tell you that Corentin de Chatelperron
is arrived
in France after 9000 miles on a boat made in jute!

Maritime sensory overload? Here's a great
slide show from last weekend's boat show when you
get a few minutes to relax. Enjoy.

To kick-off two Puddle
Duck Racer events, I composed a song and put it up
at youtube. The photos are from the 2008 Duckworks Messabout at
Magnolia Beach.

Don't know if you've seen
this thing yet. I stumbled on it because
I live in the same neck of the woods. Have not seen one
in the flesh.

Here's a link to a photographer mate's Flickr site.
I took the Stasha to Cannes classic
yacht regatta and it went down a storm.

I think that you should create a permanent and prominent
link to Warren
Messer's redbarnboat YouTube Channel. He has oodles
of helpful videos and his ongoing series on building his Granville
Bay is a classic and should be watched by everyone who has ever
dreamed of building a boat. Thanks, Tad Johnson |

Aaah, I've found the 'gurgle'
again! You know that satisfying gurgle of water passing
under the hull, when there's no motor to obscure it. Aaaah, one
of the most satisfying sounds in nature, especially when its created
by a Welsford hull!!! I found some footage of my Truant (TruantSea)
stacked away in my hard drive since 2007, so I've uploaded it to
Youtube. Try this link... Go the GURGLE!!! Grahame |
