CrossBow F32: February 2011
http://crossbow-f32.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
A Blog to follow the construction and build progress of the F32 Trimaran Crossbow. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. For my use I guess these will do, even if not perfect, as I don't need a micron level vacuum. I think the plan would be to debulk with a shopvac and turn these beauties loose on the infusion and bagging. Here is the result. Reasonably clean. Unfortunately I broke the casting on the inlet stator while getting the pressed-in shaft face-seal out. Welch are being a bit slow getting bac...Edit: The...

CrossBow F32: What’s in a name?
http://crossbow-f32.blogspot.com/2011/01/whats-in-name.html
A Blog to follow the construction and build progress of the F32 Trimaran Crossbow. Monday, January 3, 2011. What’s in a name? First Post, Hooray! It has taken a long time to get to this place, from a kids hopeless desire to the reality of owning a fast ocean racing boat. There are probably several ways to make it happen now, but building the boat for me is the closest to wringing all the sweet juice out and eating the pulp too. Ive decided on a Farrier F32. Does something without a name really exist?

CrossBow F32: Foam Toaster
http://crossbow-f32.blogspot.com/2011/07/foam-toaster.html
A Blog to follow the construction and build progress of the F32 Trimaran Crossbow. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. I have started on a foam toaster, since I'm still not in the shed its been the surrogate project. I'm using used and salvaged parts and some bought bits and pieces. I think it will only be necessary for the Floats. Ill likely pass it on to another builder when I have finished them I guess. Note: Only a member of this blog may post a comment.

A Blog to follow the construction and build progress of the F32 Trimaran Crossbow. Friday, January 21, 2011. First step will be to build a shop, the plans arrived today. I will need to get approval for a garage. Limitations are 1) 5ft setback from rear property lines, 2) 15ft height limit, 3) restrictions on impermeable coverage. This makes the building of the center hull a problem I'll have to solve. Likely by a tent next to the shop and heat w/ a diesel heater. Shop plan and elevation. Water makers req...

A Blog to follow the construction and build progress of the F32 Trimaran Crossbow. Wednesday, January 19, 2011. To Foil or not to Foil. From the master,. The main issue is that beams have to be strengthened, otherwise. They will eventually break due to load reversal. The drawings available as such for installing the foils give the basic. Position and general details of the foils. But easy enough to fit, provided. Foil is set at correct angle". I was a bit puzzled by Ian's comments, quite a while ago now ...
