Re: General motor question
Would your kicker in this case do double duty as the motor for a tender? In which case I assume the steering linkage would be removable/ only installed at need?

Re: gelcoat over epoxy repair
At the risk of raising a zombie thread, is the consensus that your own MarinEpoxy is gel-coat compatible? I fix a lot of sailing dinghies for our club, and I have discovered that quickfair isn't, so have taken to sealing with straight epoxy, then putting boats back on the water for a couple of weeks...

small dinghy repair
I volunteer with a local sailing club and have a couple more broken boats to deal with... The first, I built up with marinepoxy and whatever light woven cloth (weight un-known) we had lying around the club, but it took like 18 layers which is just getting silly. The second I've cut away some of the ...

Re: Moving upstream in a displacement boat?
Isn't the standard formula for most displacement hulls that V=1.4* sqrt(WL)? (OK, if I recall, that's in knots rather than mph, but close enough). So if you're calculating a 4kt displacement speed, that gives me an 8.16 foot waterline length. That's a pretty small boat. If you want to get back upstr...

Re: Corsair 13 in Turkey
Nice! Post more pictures, I'm leaning towards a corsair 13 for my next build... Could one (or more?) of the under-seat partitions be left open to the cockpit (minus the usual 3" rim) for stowage of anchors and fender and suchlike? Step one: finish phd thesis (check!) Step two: find employment (...

Re: should I epoxy coat a canvas kayak?
I'd imagine the canvas on a skin-on-frame kayak is meant to be flexible. Whereas epoxy-fiberglass is meant to me more-or-less stiff. So I don't think you can swap one for the other without totally changing the design and scantlings of the frame.

Re: Tide chart help
Nothing is as simple as it appears :lol: Close :lol: It's based on what is called "Mean Low Water", which is averaged over the last 19 year period. Why they chose 19 years I can't answer :doh: Also close :lol: It's technically based on "chart datum", which is also the height fro...

Re: hiawatha 12
this one I can't help you with, as I skipped the molds and built mine with battens. But it possibly would look a bit better with the chine panel cambered out a bit. What are your molds made of? I've heard some people use temporary screws to force the plywood to take more complex bends, if that'll &q...
