Högtflygande...

Rikard Fåhreus winged Kavat

"Upp flyga orden, tanken stilla står", sa Hamlet. Och kanske är det så, men en flygkavat – nog är det lyftkraft i den tanken alltid. "Powered by the Fiery Mind, Guided by Imagination", skriver Rikard Fåhraeus om sin skapelse.

Arthur Ransome gjorde för snart 100 år en drastisk jämförelse mellan ett hus och en båt: "Houses, are but badly built boats so firmly aground that you cannot think of moving them. Racundra's First CruiseThey are definitely inferior things, belonging to the vegetable not the animal world, rooted and stationary, incapable of gay transition. I admit, doubtfully, as exceptions, snail-shells and caravans. The desire to build a house is the tired wish of a man content thenceforward with a single anchorage. The desire to build a boat is the desire of youth, unwilling yet to accept the idea of a final resting-place." (ur Racundra's First Cruise )

Tänk om han hade anat nästa steg – en bevingad Kavat!

Men skynda! UtställningenGalleri Huuto i Helsingfors pågår bara till den 10 februari.

Här är några bilder till.

Sådant här blir jag glad av – lika glad som när jag läste om Wipke Iwersens Windfinder.

Surfski i trästrip

Surfski i trästrip – Jan-Olof Karlsson

Det närmar sig med surfskiritningar i katalogen. Det har ju varit på väg länge, men med ständiga avbrott för andra uppdrag.

I somras sjösatte Roar Berge sin version, baserad på min havsracer – mycket logiskt eftersom havsracerns skrov visade sig fungera utmärkt som surfski, och att erfarenheterna av det kom att bidra till utformningen av Fusion för Nordic Kayaks.

Nu har Jan-Olof Karlsson i Dingle tagit nästa steg, och byggt en prototyp från de nästan färdiga ritningarna. Den sjösattes häromdagen och skall nu testas i olika förhållanden. Jan-Olof har provat att bygga sittbrunnen helt i trä, till skillnad från Roar, som laminerade sittbrunnsbaljan i kolfiber/epoxy. Några olika varianter kommer att finnas med på ritningen.

Njord – Niklas Nygaard

Njord – Niklas Nygaard

Niklas sjösatte sin Njord tidigt i höstas, men eftersom jag fick mail och bilder den 31/12, får den bli det nya årets första sjösättningsrapport.

"Hej Björn och Gott Nytt år!

Jag skickade några bilder tidigare men glömde berätta om mitt bygge!

Efter en del "vånda" valde jag Njord! Detta visade sig vara ett gott val! Bygget startade med att välja en ståtlig gran, helst snabbvuxen men ändå i skuggan av några andra (för att få en så kvistfri sida som möjligt).
