Hello,
 
Gardner, do your homework, its all in the photos and messages somewhere.
 
 
Lovely reefy islands along past Jurien and Green Head. Zero swell and offshores so far.
 
Cabin has unintended major benefit of completely shielding spray. Very dry.
Few inches less for visibility would be better.
When double reefed (about 3sqm of sail) I think the cabin may block some wind.

I have some photos, but need to talk to my wife to get them
downloaded. maybe tonight. He sleeps on the floor, which is a bit
lower than bridgedeck height. No head, probably no bucket either. Go
off the beam, or in rough weather, through the tramp. Anchor lives on
the tramp. less lugging around required, and self deploying in a
capsize. Telescoping beams. Hulls are heaviest, doubt he has weighed
them. Maybe 70 kgs each. Sidecar is an amazing boat. Shows what can
be done with very little money. Also shows the versatility of the
harry concept. Doug has taken this far further (conceptually and
distance) than I thought possible.

regards,
Rob
