  Hi mates How are you finding the wa’apa? I’m really thinking about building one? Would love to know how you’re finding it to sail. Where are you sailing it. I’m based in Uk and worried it might be a bit wet for these waters. Do you get a lot of spray inboard? Best wishes Paddy

• 
  @harpbloke2 ай бұрын

  Hi Paddy, we are really enjoying the Wa'apa. It sails super easy with little wind. Tacking is difficult and we usually have to pull the steering oar a few times to complete the turn. This is a bit annoying as I have been building a rudder and tiller which I probably won't be able to use. We haven't had any spray onboard yet. So far we have only taken it out in estuaries where the waves are tiny. It really moves quickly in 20 knot gusts! The other day the ama lifted but that was because we weren't out on the side plank. If you build one, plan to build a safety ama to prevent capsize, most people seem to do that. I didn't and am just using PVC pipe but I'd like something a bit larger. It takes way too long to put it together! So think about alternatives to roping the beams on to the hull. If I had a huge trailer I would've built it in one piece, although there are obvious benefits to taking it apart and fitting it on a box trailer. My box trailer is 7x5.

  @@harpbloke ok great Glad you are enjoying it and thanks for the reply. I think I’m going to build the trimaran version as likely more kid friendly. I will try and use bolts wherever possible to speed up assembly time. What do you think the best rig for it would be? There’s are lots of dinghy rigs available in the Uk like miracle or wayfarer. I might start with that but I’m also not sure here to put the stays. Best wishes and keep the videos coming Paddy

  @@myown2hands169 Hi, this is all new to me so I'm kind of winging it. I had a small sailing dingy when I was young, but no experience since. The trimaran is a good idea. The sail i'm using is from a sailing dingy called a Sunfish from America. it's 7.4 sqm, a bit smaller than in the plans. My mast goes through the reinforced seat to a mast step, so no rigging/stays. Thanks .

  Why did you end up with 2 steppers vs a free shaft on one end?

• 
  @harpbloke2 ай бұрын

  Hi, because the string core would twist, so it has to be turned at both ends at the same speed, that's why I used stepper motors as they will stay in sync.

  Hi, I'm not sure of the weight, I can lift the bow and stern sections pretty easily so I figure they are around 20kg each, and the mid section is heavier, I'm only guessing. It takes way too long to launch at this point, about an hour. Thanks.

• 
  @harpbloke4 ай бұрын

  Hi, Thanks! I bought 3 sailboard masts and 2 sails from the recycle centre so I will try one of those sails first. The sailboard sail will be well undersized but that's ok because I'm not experienced. When I gain confidence I will have a sail made, according to the plan in the book, which is like an upsidedown triangle, almost crab claw type. I ordered the Kevlar from a fibreglass supply shop/store who had all the resins and everything. I think it's not too hard to find in this part of the world.

  Hi Cris, thanks for watching. I'm glad you are building one as well. I haven't finished all the parts for sailing yet, but I did get a tiny outboard for it. We've taken it out 3 times so far, the last 2 times with 4 people! I'm still pretty nervous about the joins, though with 4 people and choppy water no problems so far, we even surfed some 1 foot waves, that was super exciting, like a mini Hawaii experience! I did find another KZread channel with a wa'apa build.

• 
  @harpbloke9 ай бұрын

  Hi Raphael, I have only used the machine to wrap nylon over nylon. I have had the strings on my harp since making this video, and I play them every day. only one has broken, but not the wrap. The wraps closest to the soundboard can stretch out of the hole but that's probably because the knot is slipping until it's tight, so maybe tighten the knot fully before winding.
