 Topic: DIY dinghy – Streaker?Posted: 23 Jul 14 at 5:32pm |

Following an apparent shortage of mylar to print sheet 1 of the plans on, the plans finally arrived a couple of weeks ago. Since then I have worked out the bits and pieces that need to be ordered. Now it is matter of placing the actual orders (tomorrow!) and waiting for all the materials to arrive. As mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread, we will be blogging our progress (and mishaps!): http://farr37build.wordpress.com/ Fun times ahead :-)

I'm quite certain we won't regret it (though I suspect there will be some frustrating days, but that's all part of the fun :-) I have been collecting a few smaller questions regarding building options, but I'll take those to the association website and forum. First I want to have a detailed look at the plans, though. Thanks again for all the comments and suggestions from all of you! Chris

Excellent
 !
You won't regret it. The build gave me enormous pleasure
There are 5 or so others in build right now. Let us know via the association site when you get started, we'll be happy to help share our experiences.
I had an incredible sail yesterday, we had buckets of wind, and apart from a few groans (can't decide if that was me or the boat) it held together ok.
Best of luck
Dave

The first step is taken: just ordered the plans from the NZ Farr 3.7 owner's association.

Tbh I don't think he was ever really bothered about making a class, he just held plans for it like his bigger racing and cruising cats. He just preferred his dinghy sailing in s/h monos, was pretty handy but
didn't feel catered for. |

I remember that Stealth turning up at our club once, in fact the photo of the yellow sailed one half way down on the page was taken at our club. It wasn't that windy but it struggled to keep up after the 1st beat iirc. I certainly beat him in my 300 by some distance. It was different though and looked pretty good. Shame nothing really came of it.

I think I need to sort out whether to build or buy and then make the move! But I may be in touch.

Have the original unstayed punk boat mast (and sail) on the go, and dagger and fixed rudder if any of that is of use.

Currently has a carbon/cedar daggerboard made by Biffa boats, an aluminium rudderstock/tiller. Proctor C mast (from a Hornet but without the spreaders) and a Superspar boom (from a Blaze).
He's using the sail on another boat but being a sailmaker that shouldn't be to much of a challenge Edited by gbrspratt - 26 Mar 14 at 8:21pm |
