" Thor " - freelance design of a multicat vessel.
Some details of Thor. - by Dean Ratcliffe.
Thor is a freelance design of a multicat vessel. These rather unusual ships are real workhorses, designed as a work platform, often with a hiab crane. The square hull gives a large flat deck, with plenty of open space for a work area or for deck cargo. The design also enables the vessel to be used as a tugboat, either pushing or towing and are often equipped with large deck winches and strong points for this purpose. A true Swiss army knife of the sea, able to adapt to most roles, some even have additional internal fuel tanks for refuelling other vessels.

- philcaretakerCommodoreHi Peter, nice to hear from you and that the majority of Australia and borders have re-opened and that you guys managing to get back to the lake/ pond !.Hi Peter, nice to hear from you and that the majority of Australia and borders have re-opened and that you guys managing to get back to the lake/ pond !. Ok on your observations, for sails I mainly use ripstop nylon, mainly for colour variety and good light/med weather. I dont usually sail in heavy weather but I do have 1 suit made from a more ridgid sail cloth which certanly holds its form better. However, I do find that ,the ripstop does absorb streatch in heavier winds thus inducing a bit of "belly". I really must get hold of some mylar to try myself. I dont recall cutting to a triangular shape as I use a template (see photo) however I recently joined up two 2 panels with double sided tape, then did a 3 panel suit (again in ripstop) which added a batten like rigidity. I do enjoy trying out other materials and design options within the Wee Nip design brief, but now also getting fun from filming other members boats from the "Camera Nip". Take care Pete - cheers and beers !

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT,-SEALEGS
Not something you see every day! Saw a 'Sealegs' boat coming in from over the horizon and it eventually came straight onto and up the beach past the Orewa surf club. It then proceeded about 300m down the main road (holding up the traffic) to the petrol station to fill up, then went back and down the beach, into the water and away. Guy broke a number of rules doing this but looked like one of those 'don't give a stuff' people, His wife and tiny kid (the only one with a life jacket) were sitting in the back all the time.
The Sealegs is an NZ designed and built (built in Albany- Auckland) boat sold (and copied) all round the world. Really amazing piece of kit. Drive is hydraulic, and driven by a small self start diesel motor in its' own compartment. If I ever won Lotto I'd certainly be looking at one😁 They have a special drive on trailer as well.
Not my lake in the thumbnail, don't know where that came from😐

- jbkiwiFleet AdmiralHi Doug, see comments on the other vid😁. Most of the people who own these live on beaches with riparian access, so they can drive straight to the water from their front yards. Someone had parked one on a sand bank on the shore of the estuary a few weeks back and gone somewhere (visiting perhaps) and it looked hard case sitting there on its' wheels in the mangroves. They can also squat, and sit on the hull while on land with the wheels down slightly to level them. Pretty clever machine but rather expensive.!Hi Doug, see comments on the other vid😁.

JBLiked by Martin555 - peterdSub-LieutenantI spent a day in one several years ago photographing an Etchells yacht race series in Australia. The versatility was brilliant, especially being able to pull up in the river at the end of the day and get photos that otherwise would have been lost.I spent a day in one several years ago photographing an Etchells yacht race series in Australia.
