Black Panther 657 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'd like to take a look at what you have fish. Thanks. Meanwhile off to google a nutshell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 195 Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 A slightly nesting sunburst is a cool idea. I still dream of a PT11. Too spendy though (and wouldnt help you if you cant build). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 657 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Agreed. That PT11 would be the ultimate. Re the sunburst. If I got an old ply one i thought could double up the forward bulkhead and run a saw blade between the two. Then adjust the rear seating to accommodate the bow. Maybe not as silly as it sounds?

Kevin McCready 27 Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Spindrift looks lovely, but only one rowing position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 657 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Has anyone tried rowing a sunburst? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chippie 5 Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Plus 1 for the Delta, way under rated. 3m long and I could just haul it up on a halyard on my own. I think the Sunburst would be a lot heavier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Sunburst would be a lot heavier. 77kg min class weight, so any existing hull about double what you could build a similar sized ply row boat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
