I guess he first has to recover from the work last Saturday ;-) ;-)
 
Nol and I removed the new rudders of BD and that was hard work. Rudolf had made it to last for centuries. Real hard work and still a lot of itch over my whole body.
 
So Nol and I have the appointment to undergo a tough test in high winds with the "new" old rudders, as soon as we both have time and the wind is blowing 20kn or more. I promise to take a video camera with me.
 
To be continued.

Does this mean you are going top build one?  Be great if you did.    Building from flat panels is definitely the low cost way to build boats.

In theory Wantoo needs 1.2 feet (36 centimeters) water.
When there is wind the leeward hull will be pushed a little deeper into the water.
The tubes are Aluminium alloy.
I added a list of costs and weights to the Wantoo folder (Files directory).

I was amazed to hear from a shipyard that is specialized in wood-epoxy that they can build hulls like the Wantoo ww hull in only 80 hours (I calculated 100 hours). The secret is panels that are laser cut and almost no bulkheads. In serie production the building time can be reduced even more.
