The Trac 14 is an American catamaran sailing dinghy that was designed by Australians Richard McFarlane and Jay McFarlane as a one-design racer and first built in 1980. [1] [2] The design is a licensed version of the 1976 Windrush 14, which was originally known as the Surfcat and built by Windrush Catamarans of Australia. The Trac 14 is 25 lb ...
In a review Richard Sherwood described the design, "the Gougeon 32 is a big, fast, stable catamaran that can be sailed by one or two and will sleep two adults and two children. In addition, you can camp out in the cockpit. Six hundred pounds of water ballast may be placed in each hull for stability, but may be drained for trailering. [2]
Remote control fishing is a fishing technique accomplished by using a remote control boat.The remote control fishing boats are almost exclusively battery operated, since batteries provide several benefits when compared with glow engines: less noise during operation, consume no power during idle time, requires no oxygen, easier to maintain, finer power and speed control, etc.
The history of this unique catamaran is linked to the Catalan coast, and is documented and recognized in the minutes of the International Sports Association of Sail Patin Owners (Associació Esportiva Internacional de Patrons de Patins de Vela / Asociación Deportiva Internacional de Patín a Vela, ADIPAV) board meeting in 1951, [7] in the ...
Good trainer planes and gliders can be made from SPADs. SPAD modelers make equally good advanced planes that can be made with corrugated plastic. They include: RC Airplane Combat, 3D Flying, and are preferred in places where the flyers would normally not risk a more expensive plane and yet want the same flying characteristics of balsa planes.

The trampoline on a small sailing catamaran. A sailboat trampoline is a very high strength material under high tension, woven together in strips to provide flat areas in between hull members on catamarans or trimarans. This results in a lightweight decking that allows water to pass through, as holes are intentionally left in the weave for this ...
A small waterplane area twin hull, better known by the acronym SWATH, is a catamaran design that minimizes hull cross section area at the sea's surface. Minimizing the ship's volume near the surface area of the sea , where wave energy is located, minimizes a vessel's response to sea state, even in high seas and at high speeds.
