Copyright Scott Brown Multihulls 2013 The forum site is returning! Missing for too long, the forum is now converted to a more server-friendly format and the site is being rebuilt. Look back here for updates & get those articles on your cruising  (or building) to me for posting. email scott@themultihull.com  14th April 2013 This is an example of new content - on top of the original 30,000+ postings of the original forum.  Greg writes: Centre hull is complete and painted, crossbeams complete and painted, floats are complete and due for painting over the next few days. All the stainless fittings and bolts etc have been fabricated. I decided to get a new mast built rather than resurrect the old one. The new ones completed and ready to fit. Its also half a metre taller which fits the sails I have better, meaning less cutting those around to fit. Plan is to paint the floats and get them back outside for a 2nd trial assembly this time with the beam struts. Then step the mast and cut shrouds to length. Fit all the winches and blocks etc. Then when my sail maker mate is back from holiday we'll pull some sails up and see what needs to be done to alter them - hopefully not much. Still have to finish the dagger board and build the rudder, but finally it feel like its coming to an end. I have a month off so I'll see where I am at the end of that.
