TW28 Luka finished
Some final pictures.
I am very happy with some modifications we made:
- length of pilot house increased by 20 cm. There is still plenty of room on the back deck.
- height of pilot house and cabin increased by 10 cm. i want to be able to stand upright (6'4"). It ia actually more comfortable than the pictures show.
- sliding door in pilot house. Very nice with good weather or maneuvering
Some more pictures
Its a ship!

Beautiful boat!!!!
Re: TW28 Luka
I am just finishing deciding on the dimensions of the water tanks and I wondered what size you fitted. As you said you didn't go into a marina for 2 weeks can you fill up with water along the canals in Belgium/Nederlands?

Re: TW28 Luka
Water in the Netherlands is no problem, you can fill up your tank(s) in every marina. That is the reason I have a 100 liter tank. So I have always fresh water. We have every 10 km a marina in the Netherlands. Fuel is also no problem here, you can tank fuel in most marina's. My exoerience in Belgium is that fuel is more difficult, water no problem, in marina's and also at the locks.colinhart wrote:IAs you said you didn't go into a marina for 2 weeks can you fill up with water along the canals in Belgium/Nederlands?

It depends on what you mean by 'stock assemly' (sorry, no native speaker).
If you mean this :
This was made to my specifications by Exalto in the Netherlands.

Very nice company, they normally work for the professional wharfs on a totally different scale (see their web site). But they wanted to do this, quality is extremely high and they are very helpful. I also got the hydrolic part from them. I can send you a pdf of the plans if you want.
These parts:
I made a dxf file with the NACA profile and had it laser cut by a SS shop here. I still have those files somwhere.
If you still have the plans PDF & DXF files for the rudder can you send them to me? I'd appreciate no having to redo the work.
Thanks
