Bob, When you cut through all the BS, boat manufacturers use a lot of standard stuff.  They can't afford to make or purchase custom hardware.  I'm guessing there's a chance the aluminum frames are or were a standard window extrusion.  Maybe if you took the frame to a large, old, well establishe

I'd suggest before you do anything drastic/expensive, you get a good local welder to have a look at the frames. A talented welder can do amazing things. Rich Knowles Indigo. LF38 Halifax On 2012-12-15, at 17:41, Jim Watts wrote: You could have the parts built in ABS if you supplied the CAD fi

You could have the parts built in ABS if you supplied the CAD file for it. You could then use that as a master for a mold and make more out of metal. Or you could use the originals, glued together enough to make a mold. Or you could have them milled out of solid stock from a CAD file. Or, you cou

I have a couple questions on what others have done re: race committee duties across multiple classes and race courses. In addition to buoy races, the last couple years our fleet has been promoting a "mid-distance" class for boats new to racing, or don't have the crew or desire to race buoys.

If you go to the Yanmar website you can download spec sheets and installation drawings for the 2 cylinder and 3 cylinder engines. That will tell you things like the length, width, height, height of the output shaft of the transmission, spacing of the motor mounts, etc. You should be able to figure
