    TRR LAKER 15' 5'' A (aka Barracuda)

    Been giving this a bit of thought and how about a sliding door under the seat. Get close to shore, open the door, put your feet through the door and walk out of the water. A couple of shoulder straps to wear the boat. Jeez guys do I have to think of everything for ya's!

    fish- designed for speed

    I know I was being over simplistic with my waves thing. But they are evidence of wasted effort. Individual water droplets will move around in a body of water virtually unimpeded by friction. When you stir your coffee millions of droplets individually act as one entity. Given that and Joey's...

    fish- designed for speed

    The other night I was sat fishing, I said fishing, not catching. The water was very flat but with a probly 5+ mile an hour tidal current from say left to right of me. From the opposite direction, (my right), to the current a boat would pass doing say fifteen MPH. This was almost a third of a...

    fish- designed for speed

    Great question Joey, and one I have also pondered previously. Stood on a walkway once and had a dolphin swim underneath me as it were. The speed was phenomenal and yet the effort seemed so small. Anyways after lots of pondering I came to the conclusion, fish know something we don't... dolphins...

    My new Madeline 16

    I keep coming back and looking at the first three pics in this post and wish I had some woodworking skills. I love the elegant simplicity of this boat. I reckon I can mark out a panel and glue a few together. Alas, beyond that I'm timber challenged :( I know I could knock up a steel Laker in...

    TRR LAKER 15' 5'' A (aka Barracuda)

    Ron, according to my records you have had the plans for this boat for THREE days now and yet you haven't finished it, let alone paddled it yet, I hope you have a good excuse for your tardiness. :roll:

    Even with uncooperative weather and tides you sound as though you enjoyed yourselves. That's what it's all about. Nice report.

    When Jack said "Looks nice, Chuck.. Where are you going to mount the bowsprit with the bare chested, flaxen tressed, Bambii The Gymnast underneath?" What he really meant was are you gonna buy one of them inflatable- bare chested, flaxen tressed, Bambii The Gymnast underneath your decks like he...

    new pirogue

    Jack said :Seed, keep that fan away from Chuckie. He'll figure a way to mount it on his most recent boat." Itsa good job these posts never get misunderstood. P.s. If it did and he had, he'd only do it once

    Finally getting started

    Mate, sounds like itsa bit too late now but you shoulda used the standard shopping secret women have used for years. They buy clothes, jewellery, applinances etc. and in the unlikely event that you'd ever notice they are ready with. "Oh that old thing I've had it for ages got it in the sales...
