hi, this is my first post
Im thinking of making a cat (7x4) with my dad.I am doing the frame with pipe-pvc and the mast will be pipe too.have a budget around 60 bucks(only a kid!)hte floats will be those water things and the sail-a tarp!
am looking for more ideas- need idaes for the rudder!!!!!!!!!!!! ANY IDEAS PLEASE
Check out gumtree , I have picked up 2 hobie 16 s over the years for free one on a trailer with sails and rigging ( both fairly crappy and needed some work but usable) , my brother got a calypso 13 hulls only and a hobie 14 hulls mast and tramp no sail for free , and he picked up a fully rigged 16 ft super nova trimaran for $60 , only thing missing was the centreboard ( lady could not find it ).
You would not build anything from scratch that is seaworthy for $60.if you do , find a cheap old windsurfing rig ,
If not
Keep an eye on gumtree in the giveaway section.
okay-thank for the tip-love hobies but might do this rebelcat.com/ but i'll keep a eye out on gumtree
well, the budget is 80 dollars. I'm the only person how sails in my family so it has to be a single hander. stil thinking of a rebel cat-easy to sail , small and low budget
Good things come to those who wait.
I promise you mate that's golden advise. Hang tough and you will find a bargain/giveaway boat near you
