Yes and yes. What kind of carne do you use to flip them?

Well you are really losing the plot there Joe.

My cat's flip alol the time. They've never need a carne to right them as

they do it themselves.

Interpretation for Jow: MC has kitty cats that flip all by
themselves...




News for Kayt: I understood his reference to his kitty cat.
I thought MC bought a catamaran. Maybe that Per. Whatever!

Good. Any window geater than 9" in 1/4 lexan has to have storm boards to
go cat 1. Ella has the correct window aspect for cat 1 -being a true
blue water cruiser racer she was of course designed with big seas in mind.

A window of that area in 1/4 lexan look woefully under strength. When a
big wave hits it will pop out. You need storm shutters...




Might look that way from the outside but not the inside. Steel D beam
makes the big window actually 2 windows from the inside, you just
can't see that from the outside because of the dark lexan. I do have
shields for the front windows.

Don't take her into the ocean. Those huge 'windows' won't make it.

To late, RedCloud made it across the Atlantic 3 times, And thats when
the windows were glass. Now they are 1/4 inch lexan.

Dont take that dangerious Cat of yours to far from a crane. YOU WILL
NEED IT WHEN YOU FLIP OVER.

What's a few best liveaboard sailing vessels, under 55 feet and under 300K on
the used market?


Capt RB



I would build a steel hull like this one:

Sleeps six, but perfect for 2 to live on. Strong enough that even you
will feel safe out in the deep water. Long cruising range, room for a
party in the cockpit and you all stay dry. Small enough to single
hand, yet large enough to be comfortable.

You can also buy some nice kits from Bruce Roberts.

Here in the marina is a sweet 62 foot aluminum ketch, But it's 335K.

GRP have elasticity to the yield point which is where the glass fibres
delam or break. You can BS us with your lack of knowlege about FRP

Read the words Bubbles "HOLE"!!

I'm aware of your point. I was just expanding the term as well as the very
limited understanding of FG currently present in the group.
You can't always see a hole. Flexed FG is filled with holes on a macroscopic
level.

Well OK but even a sailing philistine should recognise beauty!

Wrong. Fibers are compromised with ANY degree of flex. ANY. Look it up or ask
someone who understands why it can take flexing and still retain much of it's
strength.
