Re: [wingboats] Re:new fuselage update.

Thanks for the plug. How do the Aluminum front ends look. I don't think they are strong enough. I would like to put some side gussets on them. How much room do you have between the fairing and the forks?

Mark we had good wind at the Alvord. I just brought a few Mantas to
sail with the boys since I had no big boat with me. The wind blew
every day up to 20. The week before the Bend guys sailed every day for
a week as well. Lots of fun.
Do you have a picture of a Sin city springer?
If you or any Manta single or twin guys are interested in iceboat
conversion kits for sailing in Montana this February. M&K Engineering
is making conversion kits for Mantas amoungst other things. He has
made adjustable risers/chocks . Runners will be coming soon.

John What about adding a front spring board and new rear axel to get the 18.8' x 16'? It would be real easy for me to make up the mounting plates for both of...

The problem I could see by extending a twin is that the wing needs to have about 30% of its area behind the rear axle. If the wing is too far forward then you...
