Thread: Recon this will work?

Well had a catch up with pengy and a few beers for a trial run.
Proved the concept. With the offset bridal it actually steers accross the wind quite well...much better than expected and handles small shore breakers with ease.
Only problem was the wind had died off and swung round to onshore which is never going to work of course.
But standing in the water holding the line I have to say i am quietly confident it will work well with an off shore.

Square sheet 3/4"pvc pipe to spreed sheet roll the sheet over pipe and sew. drill hole in end of pipe at bottom of sail tie to back on a slight angle so it pulls one bottom corner or the other, thats so you can trim sail into the wind direction. a hinged mast to fix top sail span to, with guy string going forward to each pontoon and one string mid mast going back to the loop that holds the lolly. will try and get around to mums and get a picture of my old one.

I grew up doing this kind of fishing
90degree wind kontiki bag easy cheep the best. $10
45 degree wind or not so strong wind kite with Drouge if wind is at an angle $140
No wind then torpedo 2000$

Things that don't work flap jack that uses the wave force to take out the line

I'm pissed as a chook but pm me questions I like being useful

Ha I tried one of them, flap things too, ended up with 500m nylon wraped and twisted up around the thing, the book I got the info from, didn't say FA about not using it if there is a bit of a rip.

You need a surf beach with a low gradient
No matter how fancy you get you cant get passed the breakers because there is no longer and under tow
So basically they are a waste of time unless you want to solely fish the wave zone

The beach I will use if the wind comes back in the right direction is very low gradient, a couple of km out is only 8m deep. If the wind is off shore there is no breakers.
