#2 Model Narai Mk IV Boat Building Log - backbone and bulkheads

“For Eric [Jones], I developed what I call the ‘egg box principle,’, making a backbone out of plywood and timber framing to the exact shape of the keel, stem and stern profile of the hull and slotting bulkheads on to this. It removed the heavy building base structure out of the cycle; the fixed backbone and bulkhead structure could be stood up on any type of floor and squared up with a string through the centreline. The bulkheads would be leveled with wedges to the floor.…

#1 Model Boat Building Log: Lines drawings and bulkheads of a 1:10 scale model Narai Mk IV

Hi Everyone,

We have progressed into our next phase of R&D for our Narai Mk IV wooden catamaran build: building a 1:10 scale model of one hull. Hanneke Boon strongly suggested we build a model; she’s been building them herself since she was 14 years old.

Another Ronald Morris - Scam artiste?

  1. Just got an email from "Ronald Morris". Smells like a scam artist and I noticed he has just joined the forum with no photo or personal details. Can we send him to Truth Social or perhaps X, where he belongs?

Who has a Wharram for sale?

Hi folks, I am writing this on Nov 26, 2023



My name is RIchard. I am in the USA, but I am not limited only to purchasing a boat in the USA.



I am looking and maybe shopping for a Wharram. I have found some listings for sale but that sale happened years ago and their listing has not been updated. I have also found listings for Wharrams that are now in estates of owner/owners who have passed on.



Hoping to hear from you soon!



Thanks,



Richard… Continue
