Thanks. I am glad you find it helpful. We are all learning...or at least we should be. I have been sailing all my life and I am still gaining new skills, refining old ones, gaining insights or new ideas from others as well. That's what makes sailing such a great sport. You can't know it all.
thank you for letting me learn a lot。 I have computational skills in structural mechanics. So currently trying to design a sailboat capable of cruising , using a junk rig. The length is 30 feet, auxiliary device uses Chinese and Japanese scull（船橹）, which can make a 2-ton boat travel at a speed of 2-3 knots by using the body weight (we can only use electric power to assist when encountering large currents). Also add a device that uses wave energy for propulsion (I did a model test. If the wave height is 5-8 feet, it can make the boat speed up to 3 knots) Call these dreams. But I will stick with it. what propulsion You used to get in and out of the harbor before you installed a diesel engine.
That sounds like a fascinating boat. I’ve never sailed with a junk rig but I have read a lot about them. I read all of the Ming Ming books by Roger Taylor. 30’ is a great length too for a small cruising boat. If I had to do it over again maybe a 30 footer…. So good luck to you. Here is some info on how we moved the FR about before I installed the diesel inboard. farreachvoyages.net/2019/08/13/can-you-scull-an-18000lb-boat-yes-you-can/#more-2673
@@FarReachVoyages Yes, this is the scull. Your boat cockpit space is limited. The fulcrum of the scull should be far from the stern, Archimedes said. Traditional scull will configure three. Two small ones, one big one, and one small one at the bow and one at the stern, used for docking. The scull is arc-shaped, and the scull will automatically rotate to a suitable angle by pushing and pulling the rope by hand, and then use the body weight to move the scull. Only Japan still retains theoretical research and application. China and other Asian regions only have the experience of artisans to do it. In short. If you are happy, I will be happy too. Do what you like to do. You are a great captain.
@@VLOGS-skyun No question Asian sculls such as the Ro are the most efficient. I looked into building a ro. Douglas Brooks is a Ro expert having studied Japanese boat building and Ro oars in Japan with the master boatbuilders etc. but I felt it was too long for my boat and mixing different styles-west and East. It needed to be two pieces and took up more space than I wanted to allocate. I think a true ro or Yuloh would be a great thing. I would enjoying seeing what you build.

This is such a good channel, especially for someone who has so much more to learn.

Interesting projects superbly executed
Love the modifications. May I ask who you worked with to fabricate (fabergator) the SS tubing?
Try Custom Marine Fabrication, New Bern, NC.
Technology has come to Far Reach! Soon we will have sat internet systems?
No. 😆
