Hi Thanks for intrest

OozeGooze needs 7 sheets of 6mm ply

One is build, but not painted yet - so hope to get some photos and comments soon.

Hi

Not yet any updates on OozeGooze. I think Rick is having enourmous work load and have not had time to do the boat at all - have to wait.

Thanks

Boooooooo enormous workload.

My existing OzRacer lugsail, mast and foils would be usable?

Good question! I don't know the answer, but it would be smart if they do fit.

Great non-answer Dave...

But I agree.

It is such a neat concept. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the Ooze Gooze build.

Hi

OozeGooze sail is different than Ocean Explorer. So Oe spars can´t be used on OozeGooze. Foils are same shape, but centerboars is longer on OozeGooze.

I still dount have photos of Oozegooze - atleast couble are on build, but hope that soon we will have some.

I read on Michael's site

Everything for the OZ PDRacer and the OZ Goose is identical except for the hull. This means if you have a PDRacer, you can just build the Goose hull and transfer all the working bits across.

That's why I thought I could use them here too.....

Hi

I actually dount know if that´s the case on Oz Gooze. ( I don´t have plans for that ) The OozeGooze layot needs the main mast as far front as bossible and mizzen for balance - so MIk has made different sailplan for OozeGooze. Ozracer mast is allso too short. Oozegooze cabin is bit higer than Ocean Explorer.
( Ozracer and Ocean Explorer uses same sails, foils and spars..)

What an interesting concept and not easy to design something that meets the design brief, I have only just seen this thread and enjoyed reading it.

It will be interesting to see an OozeGooze built.

Hey Guys and Gals,

Im interested in finding a bit more about this great design. I like the looks and the functionality and especially the cost side of things.

More on the cost..what would be a rough cost for the build?

Cheers

[boatknut]

those are open ended questions Highace, what country and what currency do you have in mind??? Where can I buy the plans in Australia MIK? regards boatknut

Hi Gyula,

There is a risk the mast might not be strong enough. And the sails for the two boats are fairly different but might be possible with a different mizzen.

The only people selling the plans at the moment are Duckworks in the USA.

They are delivered as a PDF file delivered by email.
