I just read MRusson's brief instruction and feel I can add a comment. I
agree completely with the "Hand someone a camera" part, but I think the "before" should have been emphasized .... ie "Hand someone a camera BEFORE you set sail ..." (sure sounds like fun - and you darn well better post some fotos - including a shot or two of the "construction" phase ...) chip in central florida "MRusson" wrote in message ...

been thinking about this while cleaning fruit to make preserves, a good boring opportunity to think. If water gets into a carboard boat it's mush. I'd tape the plastic right over the top to keep out spray. Probably should be supported by some "deck beam" framing which would also act as thwarts holding sides apart. If there were time it would be interesting to design a carboard surfboard with a small cockpit (like a board sailer) to kneel and paddle in. Open top. Interior cross framing like PC's honeycomb framing. Entire structure, including interior of cockpit, wrapped in plastic to keep it dry. Maybe the race organizer will post photos on a website showing all boats. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
