[Sealegs to pay $500K to competitors]

My uncle also built his own amphibious boats back in the 80 as well, not as flash or refined as the sealegs but more fun.

bill Gibbs brought a few of them back then too....

Ed on Charleston just we used a homade setup like the attached pic, of course to get max hoist you need a rebate in the head board,  on the new boat I am useing a simple soft whichard block.

[Maybe I want a Catamaran, what do you guys think?]

What about Te Kooti, the Simpson cat advertised to Trademe at mo, bit more expensive but looks more setup for cruising - semi comfortable inside. Won't measure as an 8.5 thou with 14 m air draft. But positive of rig is that you can comfortably sail on light days. Think it has done a bit of racing as well and is no slouch.

[Progress on Terrapin - Tramps]

& imho

 

If it is on a boat that gets regulary dismantled, tramps taken off - then a continous line is best as it is quicker. But prone to chafe & hard to get tight.

 

If you do not plan on pulling boat apart then single lashing are better but take a long time. & you can get really tight if you spend time & will last longer as there is no movment.

 

Cheers
