A great buy for well-done plates on DNAmerica.org site: http://dnamerica.org/forum/index.php?topic=475.0 The Renegade runners are most likely too thick to be...
I get more questions about the ST design as more people are building them. If you have any please notify me and I will try to make them better. Here is a...
Hi Greg, I drew up some box rules and plans for a new boat called the ST 49. I made and sailed the proto type on the ice last season. Got it to 71mph on the...
I did this once before sharpening blades for a butt board (kite boarding). However, I didn't know about the backer disk and I know what you mean about flex....
Ya the 1/2'' ply really helps make things easy. I rough grind my edges with an angle grinder first to take the meat off quicker. I use a 10'' abrasive saw...
Same as you. Everything is plasma cut and then trued up with a grinder. Your idea of using 1/2" ply for templates is a fantastic idea. I haven't put the...
Yea we ended up just doing 3/16" 2" angle iron. A couple of reasons. The first is $$$, the aluminum bar is pretty $$$. Drilling and tapping would be a...

Deane,You can see some of the joints & construction here: http://elklakeiceboating.com/mike.html The sides are joined at the bottom by removal of the core and...
Thanks, I thought there was a possibility of a wing class. This is your quote ... "I have spoken with Paul Krueger about racing wings in the ISA. He said they...
that's pretty cool John! It has to be annoying to have all those boats following you around all day. Maybe everyone noticed it, but that's the carrier USS...
I've talked with Skip Stauber about it. He and his son are recent c skeeter winners. He is trying to promote the class. The NIYA allows c skeeters to compete...
I am building a new J14 style boat out of Nida Core which will be a C class Skeeter, Class legal sail by Bossett. This design could sport a wing if desired....
