Re: Waterlust sailing canoe in Norway

Yeah, looking at your earlier pics I had a hunch you'd suss it out without too much trouble. You're doing a fine job of building yours!

With a kit I'd have to think those center points would have been indicated by small holes (not unlike those for wire stitches) where the mounting fastener holes should go. Even with that though, owing to the potential uncertainties of positions in any build, calculating them based on as-built dimensions may give a better result.

Do keep in mind that, once fitted, the amas should have a slight degree of 'toe-in' or at minimum have their long axis parallel to that of the central hull. 'Toe-out' is to be avoided at all costs!

Nice work, Rhbush!

Where did you get that seat design?

I've started using the Hobie Drive more often, and am cursing the bulky CLC cane seat...

Funny that... I haven't had my 'lust out in two years (various reasons) but the urge to get her out again, even with just the Mirage drive alone, is still there.

But I hate the seat my wife gave me for Christmas - at my suggestion - during my build.

And I asked the same question!! RBush replied, it's in a post from a few weeks ago.
