Manuwai

[rayman]

Hi fella's, been away for some time now but it looks like plenty for me to read.
  In Ians post on "Manuwai," She had no skegs that I can recall and 3 small rudders
 You want to keep her floating dead level and if possible run with her head down just a little. Later in life (mid 1930's) a stretcher was added to the fantails and two more monkey rudders added. The staggered floats was to avoid float slap although later these were extended the full width. There was a small degree of set in the float frames
to allow the floats easier entry. Keep the wheel just clear of the bottom.
   I think she was a bit of a looker in her heyday.
 
regards Ray

Hi Ray,
Still trying to finish the Manuwai drawings so that Ian can build the superstructure, and I can start my build.
Long time no hear, Hope your fit and well.
cheers
