Hi Rob &al
I understand that you have a specific reason for the name of the boat, but perhaps such a small version could be a Harriette? 8^).
This does address some of the concerns I have about diving in at the deep end, so to speak. I'm a starter for this one, after all I think I've already named my own. I'll contact you directly when I'm back home next week.
BTW had a very entertaining and informative dinner with Dave Culp in Woodside yesterday. Nice guy. In fact this baby could also serve as a trainer for a kite powered proa as well!
Enjoy

They said, get a life. I looked on TradeMe but they didn't have any.

G'day,
Drawings and description of a harry for learner builders and sailors
is in the files under harry for beginners.
Gardner, I appreciate that this is not what you were expecting, but
once I had the rig and rudders sorted, it became the boat for my
daughter and her mates for next summer and anyone else who wants to
experience proas or simple building without forking out to much money
It will scale up to whatever size windsurfer rig (let me know mast
length and sail area) you care to put on it, and for the same price i
am happy to sell you, or any other of our more substantial members
the plans for an extended version. I am not particularly confident
about the rudders with a maxi rig and big crew so you may end up with
fixed rudders. Having said which, it should be just a problem of
wrapping more tow round it so I am very tempted to build one for
Elementarry and see how it works.
As usual, comments and questions welcomed.
regards,
Rob
