Good observation on the picture John, I hadn't noticed it. My new springboard will be 2.25" thick which will raise my front 3/4" which will give a little more...
John Can you elaborate on why you've chosen not to rake forward or backward the nose wheel fork on the ST? There would seem to be advantages and disadvantages...
Its easier for me to switch back and forth to my ice boat fork with this set up. Another reason is its really simple to make a fairing work for the front end...
I think it comes from beach sailors and Iceboaters fear of drowning...also 4/5 points are a lot more to mess with when push starting. In some types of boats...
Blake Thanks, those points make sense. After seeing the photo recently posted on the 2nalsa group of the boat with a broken mast and plank over turned upside...
I've never understood the resistance to a more substantial seat belt. I've heard the drowning argument before, but it does not make sense to me. Most if not...
Wait a minute John! Wheel fairings are illegal in the ST49 class ... or are you changing the rules to your liking? :-) (just so there is no confusion, there...
You might want to consider hickory over red oak. It's slightly less dense, easier to work, prettier, and absorbs twice the energy to failure. An old Amish...
As far as I know every ST built so far has followed suite with the height of 14.25'. If indeed everyone in construction now plans on building to 14.25 would...
I'm thinking of converting JohnnysRocket into a C Skeeter and taking it back to race and hopefully sell there. I was wondering if any of the other ST's may be...
It would kind of bite if mine is 14.3. :-( I'll have to measure mine to see where I came in at. Worst case scenario is that I have to hack off the top of...
Ok that's what I wanted to find out. Do you think the rules should stay the way they are then ? It doesn't matter to me. A 16' tall wing will probable work...
Sounds like your zeroing in on a one-design class rather than the original WD class. That's ok. This whole thing is so young, nobody should get too excited...
John, that wing looks amazing! I'd love to see it up close and working. On another note,what is the web address where you get your 1/8" Baltic Birch? Laurie...
Last weekend my son and I got to try out the morse cable trim flap control I cobbled together for the "Flash" (x "Scudoo 4"). It worked great. The wind was...
