This is the Sears cartop Carrier. It looks like they name all their Carries X - Cargo, but I think this one might be their biggest: 66" LOA, 36" beam. It has a scow bow, and is 19" tall, so will have a Lot of freeboard. It will be quickly convert able to a kayak, and looks to be made of the same polyethylene. If we get these boats any shorter, somebody's going to have to start a "Stand - up" class.

Will be mounted upside down from this position. No metal fasteners, all West System. |
I mean, after a, a guys gotta keep his properties straight. Extendable tubes are for speculating. See how many are available now. Seems they will have a place on our small boats. And thank you for honoring me, saying I'm one of You'nze.

Maybe the next one will receive a channeled hull, but all the height will give confidence, and maybe seaworthiness. And hinder windward ability a bit. |
 |
Board heads too long here, but better than too short. |

Cutting Bronze or Brass Grommets to Length. |
 |
"Axel Trailer" "Spindles" |
 |
Rube Goldberg vice. For mounting grommets at high enough elevation to be cut to length using Dremel Tool. And they thought the .hull. was dangerous. |
 |
Because the plastic hull would flex, the leeboards have lots of support. |
 |
First Gluing of Rudder Blade Pine. All wood lightweight and bright pine, an overlooked and fine wood. |
 |
Rudder played out with a straight line, curved added. Barely missed handheld planing it to too small - to the center of the line! |
 |
Checking straightness along edge, while making it NACA 0012 close. Slooow operation. |
 |
Will be cut to length when that's decided on. This 2' L x 10" W. |
 |
Shoulda Used a Half Round. |
