Hi,
So, just to clarify a little:
Bucket list is the new Solitarry.
Not really, BL is more of a day racer/overnighter/longer races for macho types boat.
Looks similar in idea, but with many new improved building techniques?
Very different. Both are infused, but BL is much quicker to build.
One thing I notice is depth of hull at the bows/sterns.
Opposite from the extremely low down hull at ends of Solitarry.
The deck on BL seems to go straight out from centre with little tapering off.
Guess there is extra buoyancy to help lift up out of a sea/wave.
Extra strength too if that was needed.
Yes and yes. I think BL's bows could be much lower, we will find out when we sail it.
The beams are beefed up. I tested them using my car as the load and lifted it off the ground. Then tried a tree, but at half designed load, the fixture started to fall apart. We will have to wait until the boat is assembled. The mast pieces are beefed up and the telescoping works, but the first version will not be quick to operate. The individual pieces were remarkably stiff (10, 18 and 21mm deflection with 80 kgs/176 lbs in the middle of the 6m/20' lengths). Now working on the rudder mountings, tillers, extensions and gooseneck.
