Gato,
I was walking past an internet café and thought I’d drop in and see what’s going on.
As far as C/Bs and rudders are concerned:-
The Blade, set up properly with good professionally made C/Bs and rudders should have finger tip steering, turn on a pin and tack almost as good as a mono.
To maximise the boats performance I recommend the purchase of professionally built boards as others may not deliver the same magic feel.
So I have not detailed the boards in the plans.
Although in the past I have provided detail for a simple method of constructing carbon foam boards, Carbon rudder boxes and carbon tubes for rudder arms and tiller cross bars.
I had posted this on the catsailor.com forum with pics on a general (non specific) boat building web site that I used to have the time to maintain.
In addition to this there is a heap of stuff in the public arena on the net.
If you want more info on building your own boards (like specific profiles and dimensions) or if there is anything else that you would like more detail on please Email me and when I’m back home I will provide you with that info.
Everyone wants something different out of a set of plans and there are some things that are best left to specialists, hence the plans are what they are.
As you have plans, if you have not already done it, join the BLADE Catamaran egroup, read the helpful hints messages in the archives and just email me what else you want and I will send it your way.
Hate to write and run, but the family is waiting.
Hope things are going well.
Regards,
Phill
