Black Panther 1,568 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Now a kit.

Psyche 613 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Looks more of a sailing addition than a workhorse dinghy, I like Nutshell prams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 397 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 And Off centre harbour has designed and is promoting a larger more practical for the schooner man version called the Oonagh , that reminds me I had better get going and organize the Nutshell worlds for when we get out of lockdown Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Russel B would not see much of return on releasing a cnc cut file with the risk of plagiarism etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Considering The PT11 complete kit including rig rudder centreboard etc is $7500 Kiwi Roubles plus shipping plus build sourcing a nicer rig for the Journeyman locally could be a coin saver. I’ll send them an enquiry and see if they would consider selling a cnc cut file into the home of the Cup but not for to much longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 613 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Ply dinghies are not so hard to build, CNC kits only save time (which may be valuable) but with a bit of care and a few tools anyone can measure and cut well enough for epoxy glue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would only CNC going forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 397 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Cut all the Nutshells by hand, takes a while but satisfying, the trick of course is to open the bottle when finished cutting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
