Mark Gudschinsky Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 My idea is to attach paddlewheels To Another Amphora, OK Jonn and Mike :thumbsup: Quote
Frank Hagan Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 Like a pedal boat? That's not a bad idea. The pedal boats you see at lakes and things are pretty inefficient, with the paddle wheel type of design. I've always thought that having something that worked like a sculling oar would be better ... that's like an oar that goes in the water behind the boat and instead of moving up and down, stays in the water and moves from side to side.

Mark Gudschinsky Posted July 18, 2004 Author Posted July 18, 2004 Like a pedal boat? Big wheels :evil: . I might tow a few sailboats when the wind the wind quits. :wink: :BIG: Quote
rolandblais Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 Maybe something like this? I think the plans are in Payson's "Build the new and instant boats", although I can't remember exactly where I saw them. I think putting the paddles mid boat, and having them much larger then on most of the paddleboats I've seen is a step in the right direction. I've been out on paddleboats a couple of times this year and the experience was, well, let's just say less than satisfying. Peace and good luck! Roland Quote
Mark Gudschinsky Posted July 18, 2004 Author Posted July 18, 2004 YES. My paddlewheels I will drive like a bike. Quote
Greg Luckett Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 I like this idea Alexander. We will not do it, but I like it. Quote
Greg Luckett Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 We want to build a Spindrift 12, then a Diva, then a Vacationer rather than modify Dragon. Quote
