    Default Another PD Racer for Perth

    A new PD Racer build in perth WA. Have finished building the hull apart from cutting out the centre case slot and the mast locating hole in the F/deck. I will make the mast and foils in due course.......as time permits. Will post some pics when I work out how it's done! Those in Perth interested in building a PD Racer are welcome to make contact for advice or viewing.

    Welcome Bandit. I look forward to seeing and hearing about your build.

    For a quick tutorial on attaching picture, go here. Although the post is about putting items for sale on the Market Place, the description of how to add pictures (it starts about 1/2 way down) is pretty helpful.
    Cheers

    Welcome Bandit!

    Two boats in one location makes all the difference ... people can suddenly see the potential. So thankyou for making contact.

    Indeed, with a fleet starting to appear in Perth it might be time to consider a PDR as a next boat despite not having finished the first boat. Buying the plans last year to cover such an eventuality was a good idea. Might get the new version of the plans before a final decision is made.

    Thumbs up Getting the Perth PDRacers together

    Hi Everyone,

    Getting the Perth PDRacers together, when they are completed, sounds like a great Idea, it would only involve picking a mutually acceptable location, and time.

    As I have made modifications to make my PDRacer more useful, sail, oar, or outboard power are possible, but it has made my PDRacer heavier than average, so I don't anticipate winning any races, but would love the opportunity, just for having fun !.

    At the rate I am going, due to my health etc, and developing the single handed transport and launch/recovery system, my PDRacer may be ready by next summer, but hopefully earlier.

    Thumbs up

    Hi Bandit.

    I saw in the 'Perth Voice' ( local community paper ) today an ad for the 'Homewright Training Centre', with a picture of your PDRacer before the decks were added, looks great, and will probably add to the interest locally.
