G'day,

Fixed is lighter, easier to move around, but harder to store and
longer to assemble.  Does not make much difference at this size unless
you have storage problems.  Dissassembled will be cheaper to ship, but
will need to be put in a box, which may negate the savings.

6 of one, half a dozen of the other, I think.

Bloody tempting to duck over and have a sail when I am in NSW checking
out the 15m.

regards,

rob

Hi Rob,

I have a contract from John the Harriette builder in China, so we’re all go.
Just one decision I need to make is do I go for dismountable or permanently
bonded construction. Can you give me a quick rundown of the pros and cons of
each to help me decide?

Many thanks...

G'day,

The prototype of the production harryproas being built in China was
launched yesterday.  Unfortunately no wind, so no numbers, but
hopefully it will be blowing tomorrow.

The photos can be viewed in the Files section of the Yahoo harryproa
chat group.  The first 3  have been sold to Europe, 3,200
Euros/$US4,000 landed.  8 sq m/86 sq' of sail, prototype is heavy,
production ones will weigh 60 kgs/132lbs.

regards,

Rob
