G'day,
Even Katy preferred Harriette. No rush on the money, look forward to discussing the rest of it with you. Schooner or una is no problem, Elementarry is set up for both. Steering without appendages with a schooner is pretty easy, but you make a lot of leeway.
regards,
Rob
Hi Rob &al
Glad you liked the suggestion about the name. I'll discuss the money with you and where to send it directly once I'm home. I arrive on Sunday but will need a bit of time to get over the jetlag.
I agree that a Harriette with a 20m kite would be a great starter kite proa combo but I'd also want the rig(s) on it as well. Would the schooner be much more complicated than the uno design for you to put together? I think that would appeal to me more but it would be great if the plans could provide for both so we could experiment a bit, especially with foil-less steering.
My head is full of ideas after dinner with Dave C. I'll talk to you about them directly, though. I need to start moving on a number of fronts.
Enjoy

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

G'day,
Infusion epoxy is available, check with the Gougeons or System Three. I was
president of System Three Australia for a while. Huge company,staff
consisted of me and a part time storeman. I find epoxy is nicer to work
with, but slower to cure. It also doesn't stink. Vinylester is cheaper,
does not affect your skin. Both are fine for boat building. Easy enough to
stuff up either one, do some tests first.
Windsurfer rigs come in sizes to 12 sqm. Robert Cateran suggested a
schooner rig option which makes sense and is easy enough to do.
The rig on Craigslist looks perfect. Buy that and I will buy one or two of
the sails from you.
No problem with sending you extra plans, as long as you don't build from
them. Hope to have a drawing of the bigger version this weekend, will draw
the plans for both next week. I hope to keep ahead of you (building the
rudder shafts this weekend as well) so there may be some adjustments to the
plans, but they will be minor.
Jim
Brilliant! I will change the name when i update the drawing. Dave is an
incredibly knowledgable guy, and harriette would be an excellent trainer if
he would build a 20 sqm kite (40 is the smallest they currently do, and it
is a challenge on Elementarry)
regards,
Rob
