How much does the hull weigh now? It is nearly done I would think Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:13:37 GMT kl789995 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1357 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1357 What are your goals here? I would think that the boat that john designed, built and provided plans for would do very well, but I don't know what you are Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:02:50 GMT Mike Acebo http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1356 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1356 Deane,You can see some of the joints & construction here: http://elklakeiceboating.com/mike.html The sides are joined at the bottom by removal of the core and Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:04:33 GMT Deane Williams http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1355 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1355 Hey Mike, Where do you buy NidaCore and which type and size did you choose?

This is your quote ... "I have spoken with Paul Krueger about racing wings in the ISA. He said they Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:31:43 GMT kl789995 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1352 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1352 that's pretty cool John! It has to be annoying to have all those boats following you around all day. Maybe everyone noticed it, but that's the carrier USS Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:58:34 GMT johhnysrocket2003 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1350 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1350 I've talked with Skip Stauber about it. He and his son are recent c skeeter winners. He is trying to promote the class. The NIYA allows c skeeters to compete Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:38:27 GMT Mike Acebo http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1349 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1349 I am building a new J14 style boat out of Nida Core which will be a C class Skeeter, Class legal sail by Bossett. This design could sport a wing if desired.

From your blurb in the intro, it kind of sounds like for the NIYA it would be an open Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:24:01 GMT johhnysrocket2003 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1347 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1347 ... I don't think there are any plans that would work.It would have to be a rumble seater. But here is an idea that would work - Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:21:55 GMT pax_252 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1346 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/message/1346 Can anyone point me to basic plans or designs for an ice boat that (similar to) a C-Skeeter and would take a wing?
