I feel you have over thought your boat, far more complicated than it needs to be, but good to see chine runners being used they seem to have gone out of fashion since the second world war.They were and still are used on commercial fishing boats with no harbour that need to be run up and down a beach, of course they do not work as well to windward as center boards and produce more drag but are great for shoal waters. They tend to work better with a powerful rig as they need the speed to work efficiently.
Very nice Enigma clone! I like how you both have a Yuloh and rowing oars. Chine runners are a little wider than the original and probably help sailing to windward when lightly loaded.
Thanks David. Your Enigma TH-cam videos are pretty much the reason this boat got built. Getting ready for the Texas 200 in a couple weeks hoping for good weather.
Likewise Jason. Had a great time. One of the Texas 200 club members has been posting a lot of boat pictures from previous years. One of yours is on there. The trimaran. It’s generated quite a few comments.
@@willrobertson14 Yeah That was a decent boat. It was pretty fast downwind but it was a bear to tack. That along will all my homebuilds unfortunately were highly flammable. It did it’s job and was retired fast. I have 1 commercially built boat that I sail now. I may do the trip again but it will be last minute if I do get to go.
I read my first post and it read “ do a little swing” that was supposed to be sailing. I am too old and ugly to swing but I do sail still. I have since corrected the post😉
My kind of boat. Small enough to tow and store in a garage. Big enough for weekend cruising.
Nice job on that! Looks organized! Great walk around video.
Love it Awesome Enigma type design. Also love the way you did the sail rig.
nice that you showed how the furling mechanism worked.
Love the open design. Soft canopy would be easy to stow and a toneau cover as well. Lovely Boat Brother. Godspeed
Very nice boat. I hope to build a 15 footer based on Paradox / Enigma design. Thanks for sharing.
Love it! Maybe I will build another one some day and ad those adventures to my channel too! Right now I am just poking around in my 1970's Sea Snark.
That's cool, Will. I'm looking forward to sailing on it some day.
There is a group that sails in Austin. Maybe one of these days I will make it over there. I’ll definitely let you know.
Thanks for the tour! Educational! Best/Roy

It was cool meeting you today at the Jeep thing in Boerne. We should get together and do a little sailing sometime.

I figured that’s what you meant. That auto spell thing is a pain lol.
How many degrees does this boat go against the wind
What is the weight of the ballast of this boat
Where can I get the blueprints for this boat ???
the boat is s matt layden design & the builder says it has two 70lb ballasts=140lb plus two batteries(car) & some fresh drinking water as ballast.
