Hi everyone,
First of all, this has been an extremely informative thread so thank you very much for letting me join. I did not see any of these projects listed on the MicroTransat site, so I am wondering if anyone has attempted a long water crossing. If so, can you please share your learnings from that?
I am currently in the design phase now. Structurally, it will look very similar to most of these projects. I plan to use a single solar panel, a single thruster T200 without any modification at first, rudder steering, and a fiberglass wrapped 150 foam hull/keel. Hoping to begin building in December, and begin testing on Lake Michigan in the spring.
I was wondering if any of you could please review my parts list below and offer suggestions (ie. is the product high quality, do you know of something better/cheaper, etc)?
Thanks in advance and cheers!
- Eric
