    Re: Manufacturing of
    paddles
    Hi Hillro, I like the feathering
    paddles
    , how are you going to set the offset for the linkage wheel, are you making a jig? Very nice work. Cheers, Stephen.

    Re: Paddle boxes
    Hello with regard to the tug capsizing, due to independent
    paddles
    , I very much doubt that - not if you have your ballast correctly placed in the bottom of the hull. I myself built the Forceful Tug with independent
    paddles
    and belt drive and sailed this on many occasion with no trouble of capsizing, even though the
    paddles
    are non-feathering. (Non-feathering
    paddles
    tend to 'dig' into the water and pull the model over to one side). As a side question, could you tell me where you obtained your plans for the tug you are building? You will see that I belong South Shields and Rennoldsons boat builders are noted to my wife - as she used to work for one of their relations. John
