Multiman - and others........

just thought I would register and pop in now and then to read of UK News. I used to be kept up-to-date by a multihull oriented friend, but his passing has left a void in knowing what is being done over there.

As mentioned in a post by someone else here, I am in the process of trying to develop an easy and quick way to fabricate hulls - two or three - at minimal cost, effort or required skills and equipment. I probably am also the guy who posted that I like asthetics of a multihull - but a bit of my original response/post was left off - and that specifically was that the idea of using foam for floats, and being able to bend/shape as a "development" tool is a great idea - but somehow I think ("think") may be putting some off. That is what I originally said - and suggested that once the design, rocker, location, etc. were confirmed, it would be nice to see the hulls converted to traditional materials. Mainly to improve looks at the risk of adding a bit of weight.

My general idea is to fabricate slab sides with shaped foam tops and bottoms. In any event, I won't clutter up this forum with duplicate postings, and look forward to the continued ideas and suggestions brought forward here by others. One issue I had was that of battens - and I see where it was asked and answered. Hopefully, down the line I will be able to help in similar fashion with things I have learned or know. I hope that I do not take on the appearances of someone who knows it all. I usually comment from experience and knowledge - and may throw in some "theory" but hopefully that will be identified as such. My postings should also eliminate the need to be partially quoted, or to have my ideas mentioned in an out-of-character manner. I am capable of making my own posts and will respond to questions if at all possible.

In the meantime, I will look forward to information and ideas shared here.

Regards
