fantastic work Rob & Steinar,
questions/thoughts
- in terms of complexity/cost - is this boat a lot cheaper/easier to build than the original Harryproa which has similar dimensions? Where is the biggest difference (seems the cabin moved on top of the main hull and was redesigned)
- daysailors seem to be popular at the moment - from that perspective it would be interesting if the pop-top version could maybe also have just a canvas roof? Understand that cars and boats are not the same - but many cars now have 'roll-back'/ sliding convertible roofs which would make that interesting. Open seating with a group of 4-8; camping/cruising with a group of 4-5..
- access to the main hull - think for cruising in colder environments we need to get rid of a lot of stuff (sleeping bags, clothing etc) - maybe axes to the main hull and with some space under the seats/ in the outer ends would be practical
- folded - access to the side of the boat from the quay still has to work - can not judge from the renderings - does it? BlindDate/Compaen just installed handle bars and steps on the outside of the hull to facilitate this.
- nice detail with the access to he LW hull - good for privacy but probably would also still allow extra bunk right?
Steering - had the opportunity to steer BlindDate/Compaen recently - great experience. Must say the ability to move the boat 90 degrees sideways due to 2 rudders and a outboard turned was a new experience. Highly underestimated how useful that it is in a tight environment. are 270degrees rotating rudders still an option?
thanks for the next level of inspiration.
Fedor
