Sorry, I found your most recent changes to your rig on Facebook. Really helpful

If you ask me what kind of rig to build: Crabclaw. My new rig has a 520 yard and an about 440 boom. But I will go back to Crabclaw with yard/boom equal length, about 480.

That's interesting. Would you still have a mast track on the yard if you built a crab claw rig? Why would a crab claw be better than your current set up? Thanks, John

@@johncoffin100 Yes, Would use a masttrack for the yard, because I would install a similar reefing system. Cc overall is better because of lack of complexity , lightness, low CE and beauty

@@segelreto Thanks. I was thinking the same.

Salut Romain, Le canot est fait principalement du 4mm contreplaqué. Mat, baume, verge, jakos et arbre du pagayer sont des mats windsurf usagés avec du carbon. Apart de ça il y a quelques renforcements carbon sur contreplaqué, mais jamais avec vacuum.

@@segelreto Salut Reto, je parle plutôt de ta micro-remorque en V avec 2 roues pour transporter Lili'uokalani sur terre. J'ai des photos mais je ne peux pas partager de lien ici.

@@RomainLange Ah, les micro remorques. Les V sont carbon, quelques couches de tissus . Puis la base est contreplaqué avec un tuyau an carbon pour prendre l'axe. Pas d'attachement parce que les pneus flottent. Pas de vacuum.

@@segelreto TH-cam a bloqué ma précédente réponse, merci pour la tienne ! Aurais-tu des photos des étapes de construction ?

@@RomainLange Je viens de faire des photos détail , qui expliquent tout, a mon avis. Dis moi comment je peux te les envoyer avec quelques commentaires. Facebook, whatsap ?

Plans available on pjoa.eu .Ask Janusz Ostrovsky, the designer after the wood.

Shunty! I forgot, that's great. Thanks

Thank you. The mast foot is on the platform slightly to weather. Fore and aft stays go from the bows to the masttop. So the stays are more leeward than the mast, and hold the rig when caught aback, even when there is some slack in the fore/aft stays. For reefing the sail comes down in a sail track on the yard. When the CE comes down 80% it moves forward 20%. To compensate for that I have attachment points further back.

Thanks, that's very helpful. I want to build a P5 this winter so follow your videos with great interest.

If you really want to build a P5, I can help. But ask before you build.@@johncoffin100

Dear Reto, I’d like to start building in the New Year. I was going to use 4 mm ply for the hull and 6mm for the bulkheads, deck and cockpit floor. Is that what you did? Did you sheath the hulls with glass cloth and if so, what weight did you use? Did you just sheath up to the water line and did you put glass cloth on the inside? I want to make the boat as light as possible to make it fast and easier to put on the roof of my car. Is there any other advice you can give me? Thanks, John

There's a lot of advice I can give, as I optimized the design over a long period of time.There are quite a few positive details that differ from the original design. I started with the ama , which is good, because it is more simple. I used 4 mm ply for the hulls, decks and cockpit floor 8mm for the bulkheads, glassed all the outside surfaces, no inside surface and used 200 glass. @@johncoffin100

11 m2 . Absolute Speed record with this sail 15.0 kn

thanks! wow that's huge! 15 knots is great!

thanks! wow that's huge! 15 knots is pretty decent. apparently it's very difficult to do more knots than the boat length in feet

Thank you!

Yes there's a block up there between the 2 shroud ends, and I have another tackle before the cleat so that's 4:1 purchase? My mast foot doesn't sit on the weather gunwale but another 20- 30 cm windward on the platform.

Yes and no. A normal Windsurfmast which fits the length (4,2 m) would bend too easily under compression. A longer mast (490 or 470) with top cut off is already stiffer. It can (and has to) be reinforced very easily by gluing a carbon sleeve on: Sand, put epoxy on mast, then roll sleeve on mast, then put epoxy on sleeve, then spiral wrap peel tissue band around. Gives perfectly laminated, stiff result. But is still flexible enough that it bent to a U when I got backwinded in a gale and allowed the mast/sail to lay down flat on the platform. And jumped back straight perfectly undamaged afterwards. Another time my boat got airlifted on land during a thunderstorm and landed upside down. An alu/wood mast would have been a total failure , but not my carbon mast which survived also this calamity unharmed.

@@segelreto got it! thanks for the explanation!

4mm Birkoplex (wasserfestes Industriesperrholz) für die Rümpfe, 9-, und 16 mm Birkoplex für Spanten usw. Heute würde ich evtl. Bootssperrholz benutzen das zwar teurer, aber leichter und rostresistenter ist.

@@segelreto Super Cool !! vielen Dank für die Infos.

@@mica2156 Meinte natürlich ROTTresistenter

And you believe, that I believe my boat to be a hawaiian canoe? Why ?

@@segelreto WHY do you name a micronesian canoe after a Hawaiian Queen while singing Hawaiian style songs, you ASSUME that i am guessing what you might be thinking, i am not, i DON'T presume that anyone who builds a nice boat hasn't researched the origins of such vessel's

@@joedaman2380 I firstly named her so, because I was imagining me gleeful watching germans trying vainly to spell out this tongue braker. Secondly because she (Lili...) was also a composer of songs, which I greatly admire. The name of a micronesian leader would probably have had less syllables. As for the style of the song, I admit, that the intro sounds a bit hawaiian. But I didn't know anything about micronesian music when I made this song, nor did I own a tahitian ukulele then. Those are popular more to the west of the pacific, which isn't exactly micronesia, but at least closer to it than hawaii.

@@segelreto well that is a great boat you built, and also i did enjoy the video very much.....wish you the best wherever your journey takes you...

It's basically a lament about the winter being to warm to be able to play "Eisstockschießen", a bavarian winter sport for which you need ice. First part describes how the game is played, at the end the "Eisstock" lands in the (iceless) water, and the comment says "...dann hoid ned", which means about "then just not" in bavarian dialect .

Thanks you. It's a P5 from www.multihull.de, modified a bit by me. The rig is my design.

Thanks, yes.

Found them...😃

Soi hoaß'n: Samma do scho boid z'oid für den Schmarrn

It has no name. I just invented it and it keeps on changing/evolving.

@@segelreto cool, am I understand right that you had clew crab before, and upgrade it?

@@AntonVTR Yes, I had a CC before, but it got fragile beyond repair, so I decided to try something new. Upwind performance and reefability are a gain, but practicality is still far from optimal.

@@segelreto and do you have any kind of data, maybe track, to see the difference? And second question, do you have plans for the boat?

@@AntonVTR If you're on fb, there's a good Proa group where i posted some data.
