Mini40 Trimaran First Launch

Discussion in ' General Discussions (MultiHull/MultiOne) ' started by Siri , Oct 10, 2009 .

Siri New Member

Today I have successfully launched my first Nightmare MK VIII off my new moulds. The prototype has been launched in April. It has been a calm day, nothing spectacular. So far the boat sails well - strong wind sailing videos will follow - I'm waiting for the wind My first glass MK VIII without rig - 65M Tri pictured together to see the difference in size of this two classes. Nightmare MK VIII first production boat first launch today, October 10th, 2009​ You can find some more pictures and data on my site. Enjoy looking

@Sirit CONGRATULATIONS, Phanchita! (And actually I also can congratulate myself as well, as it is my own design you where able to realize!) For further rigg-/sail development please also check out Karl Schmidts (SKAUT´s) exceptionally great new video: http://www.rc-network.de/forum/showthread.php?t=169546 Have a nice sailing weekend Ernst Zemann aka Idealist aka Disabled  

Hi all, I uploaded some video clips of my MK8 with carbon tube beams today. The video clips and some pics can be found at http://www.rcsails.com/nightmare.htm Have fun  

First show carbon Nightmare MK VIII - total weight of the hulls, beams & appendages 1,6kg MK VIII Special - Show Carbon Edition Happy Sailing ​  

Dear Siri, this boat looks awesome!!! 1.6kg is also VERY good! Would you please be so kind, on tell us the prize for this spezial "Carbon-Edition" as well? Thank you very much, Ernst  

Hi Ernst, long time not heard from you. Are you still busy? The show carbon version costs 300 USD more than the glass version or 100 USD more if the customer supplies the carbon fabrics. (carbon is very expensive here). Cheers Phanchita

Question What servos are you guys using in the 48"ers? Are you using a winch for the sails? If not a winch what then?  

Dick Lemke Administrator

A Hitec 815 BB (about 140 degree rotation) single arm for main and just moving to a GWS 1 Turn S-125 for jib. The jib servo is much slower than the arm and easier to do small, incremental adjustments, while the arm lets me dump wind quickly if needed. On the 1 Meter, (about 1000 sq. inch of sail area) I use the Hitec 815 - but with a double arm that controls both jib and main at the same time.  

I'm using a standard GWS 666 with 250oz/inch for my swing rig with an arm lenght of 3 inch. This is more than enough for a swing rig. Swing rigs are balanced and don't need as much power to sheet as required by standard rigging.  

- Two new designs finally made it to the water - Venom R - lightweight Mini40 catamaran WRT40 MK2 - Mini40 Trimaran Nightmare MK8 - Mini40 Trimaran with a new rig more multi hulled designs still on my workbench, but coming soon.......:zbeer:  

Nightmare Evolution This days I have launched the prototype of my new Nightmare X which evolved from Ernst's Nightmare MKVIII. The Nightmare X has slimmer floats and promises higher speeds without losing much of stability. There are more images and video clips on my website RCSails - watch out for more pictures and clips to come at RCSails Enjoy:zbeer:  

Morspeed New Member

Re: Nightmare Evolution Hi Phanchita, Hope you and family are all good over there..word on the street is the redshirts and yellow shirts have thrown all their toys out of the cot!! I am not sure how many mini 40 versions you have now, maybe 3 ?, which one do you think offers the best performance?. A while ago i noticed on one of your web vids that the windward hull seemed to have a lot of twist/flex when it was getting airtime....I see that Ian of Singapore?, who has bought one of your nightmare VIII models has had to beef up the crossmembers to help prevent this. As I am about to start the build on my crossmembers I would be interested to know your construction detail (beam dimensions/laminate schedule/type of resin etc...) you are using now to solve this problem as it would be nice if I could get it right the first time...I have been quite concerned about this issue as I have seen it often on multis of all sizes and the flexing of crossmembers definately causes all sorts of rig problems and structural failures long term. The secret is I guess a combination of good shape of crossmember profile and a well engineered composite layup. Any advice would be gratefully received....well done by the way on yet another hull in your fleet, I have been amazed at how I have watched your product range grow from a powerboat to many options in rc yachts in a matter of years...you must have way to much time on your hands...have you given up on the powerboat building?. Cheers...Gary  

Gary you have a PM  

Inferno Mini40 Catamaran My new Inferno - a slim Mini40 catamaran with twin boards & rudders. Dick will like this design. There are more new multis on my workbench - more pictures to come soon Cheers:zbeer:  

nautibuoy New Member

Re: Inferno Mini40 Catamaran Looks Nice Siri. How does it sail? What's the length to beam ratio? I think you need to get the rig a bit lower so the rig boom is just above the crossbeam; my thinking on this is to invert the conventional approach where the rig sits in a tube (which appears to be your approach) and have a stub that the mast sits over. Have you got the radio gear installed under the crossbeam - if so isn't it a bit exposed to water ingress? Ray  

Re: Inferno Mini40 Catamaran Hi Ray, long time not heard from you - how is your 2m Cat coming along? The Inferno sails and accelerates fast - you need to be fast at the sticks too . The length to beam ratio is about 5:4. I know the mast foot is too high - I did not do the rig especially for the Cat, it is borrowed from my Tris to test the prototype. The molded boat will be much lighter than the prototype ( I'm using the heavy beam plug for the sailing tests now) and will get a new rig with the boom about two inches nearer to the beam. I have part of the electronics below the beam in a box protected from water splashing. My sheeting servo is a waterproof one - so far I did not have problems with the electronics. Cheers  

Re: Inferno Mini40 Catamaran Hi Siri & Ray - you are correct - I DO like it a lot! Siri - do you have anyone near you that can also sail your multihulls at the same time? I am curious if the cat accelerates a lot faster than the tri - since it is so much lighter in weight. Just wondering if you have been able to sail the tri against the cat? Looks good. PM me with pricing for hulls and beam when you have them.  

Re: Inferno Mini40 Catamaran Hi Siri, I've ben very quiet since breaking my hip - I've not been able to really work on the 2metre cat at all this year and now I'm about to have a builder start on demolishing and rebuilding my garage/workshop so it looks as though it's going to be slow going for a while longer. In the meantime I've been busy working up some drawings for a wingsail for a 2metre boat and will probably equip the cat with that in due course. Ray  

SAILOR - not sure if your email address/ISP address has been compromised, but the post today was deleted since it is questionable if it is RC Sailing related. Have received three notices questioning the Insurance Link signature - so if your signature hasn't been compromised by someone - perhaps remove the "commercial" side of the signature so it isn't identified as potntial SPAM. If you aren't aware of the signature "tag" you may want to check your antivirus - since most of your posts are valid. Unfortunately, if a link that looks like commercial advertising of an insurance business continues to be posted, we may need to revisit. Please check it out - and make security corrections to eliminate if someone is using your ISP for posting. PM or email me if you have any questions. Dick Lemke  

Hi Dick, I have sailed the Inferno against the Nightmare, the Inferno accelerates much faster but looses this advantage in turns where the Tri is quicker. I will send you a PM with the pricing as soon as I have the moulds done and tested the final thing. @Ray: It's been a long time since you had your accident - I hope you're well soon and can continue your Cat project - the wing sail will be an interesting feature.

A traveler's guide to Novosibirsk, the unofficial capital of Siberia

Trans-Siberian heritage

Residents of Novosibirsk love trains and are proud of the fact that their city played a significant role in the history of the grand Trans-Siberian railway, which spans the breadth of Russia. The railway is such a part of Novosibirsk identity that it is even depicted on the city’s emblem, along with the bridge that crosses the Ob river and two Siberian sables standing on their hind legs.  

In the city, there are as many as five monuments to trains, and an open-air locomotive museum is located in the vicinity of the train station Seyatel’. The museum has more than 100 steam locomotives, diesel locomotives and carriages, reflecting the history of rail transportation in Russia from pre-revolutionary times to the present day. Wondering around the stationary trains and comparing your height with the diameter of the gigantic iron wheels of the first steam locomotives is all very well, but why not climb inside the carriages and see how the nobility once traveled across Russia in pre-revolutionary times? These tours will however need to be booked in advance. The museum opens from 11:00 until 17:00 every day except Mondays. 

Novosibirsk spans both sides of the river Ob. In the early twentieth century, the border of two different timezones passed right through the city which led to a strange situation- morning on the east bank started one hour earlier than on the west bank! The two-kilometer covered metro bridge that crosses the river is considered the longest in the world. Due to the fluctuations in temperature across the year (on average +30 °C to -30 °C), during the summer the metro bridge expands, and in the winter it contracts by half a meter. To counter these effects, the bridge’s supports are equipped with special rollers that allow it to move.   

The cultural center of Siberia

The repertoire of the theatre can be viewed on its official website . The theatre season runs from September to July, and comprises mainly classical performances, like the ballet “The Nutcracker” by Tchaikovsky, Borodin’s opera “Prince Igor” and Verdi’s “La Traviata”.  

The large Siberian sea and ligers

Weekends are best spent at the Novosibirsk zoo . The zoo is known for breeding big cats, although surrounded by controversy, hosts a successful crossing of a tiger and lion, which of course would not otherwise breed in wildlife. Ligers, or exotic cubs of an African lion and Bengal tigress, feel quite comfortable in the Siberian climate and even produce offspring. The zoo is open to visitors year-round, seven days a week, and even has its own free mobile app, Zoo Nsk .

Every year at the beginning of January, the festival of snow culture takes place bringing together artists from across Russia and around the world to participate in a snow sculpting competition. The tradition started in 2000 inspired by the snow festival in Sapporo, Novosibirsk’s twin-city.

Siberian Silicon Valley

Despite the fact that Akademgorodok was built half a century ago in the middle of the uninhabited Siberian taiga, architecturally it was ahead of its time. No trees were destroyed for its construction, and houses were built right in the middle of the forest. A man walking through the woods would seemingly stumble upon these structures. At that time, no one had built anything similar in the world and ecovillages only became fashionable much later.

For residents of the Novosibirsk Akademgorodok is a different world. When you step out the bus or car, you are immediately on one of the hiking paths through the forest, between the scientific buildings and clubs. On a walk through Akademgorodok, it is possible to unexpectedly encounter art-like objects handmade by residents of the city which have been erected as monuments and some monuments fixed up by city authorities. For example, the monument to the laboratory mice, which knits a strand of DNA on to some needles, can be found in the square alongside the Institute of Cytology and Genetics. In Akademgorodok there are many cafes and restaurants, in which it is possible to rest after a long walk. Grab a coffee and go to eat at Traveler’s Coffee , or eat lunch at the grille and bar People’s or Clover .

Winters in the Akademgorodok are slightly colder than in the city, so wrap up. Spring and summer are usually wetter, so waterproof boots are recommended. In the summer the Ob sea provides respite from the heat, so do not forget your swimsuit to go for a dip.

Memento Mori

Among the exhibits of the museum is one dedicated to world funeral culture — hearses, memorial jewellery from the hair of the deceased, samples from a specific photo-genre of  "post mortem", a collection of funeral wear from the Victorian era, deathmasks, statues and monuments. There’s also an impressive collection of coffins. One of them, resembling a fish, was manufactured on a special visit to Novosibirsk by a designer coffin-maker from Africa, Eric Adjetey Anang, who specializes in the production of unusual coffins.

Surprisingly, the crematorium itself does not look at all gloomy in appearance and definitely does not look like infernal scenes from movies, or like crematoriums of other cities that gravitate towards gloomy temple aesthetics. The Novosibirsk crematorium is decorated in “cheerful” orange tones and is surrounded by a park with a children’s playground nearby. A visit to the museum then leaves you with mixed feelings. 

Novosibirsk underground

Tourists from all over the world go down into the Moscow metro to take a ride and a few selfies in the most famous underground museum. The Novosibirsk metro is also quite a museum in itself — it has 13 stations, the most beautiful of which is Gagarinskaya, Sibirskaya and Rechnoy Vokzal.

The ultramodern Gagarinskaya station is like a real cosmos underground. Its technologically themed design includes marble walls with metallic elements, dark blue backlighting and portraits of Yuri Gagarin. The Sibirskaya station looks like an underground treasure trove, decorated by Altai masters craftsmen with mosaics of precious Siberian stones. The Rechnoy Vokzal station is framed with ten glowing stained glass windows depicting the largest cities of Siberia, including Novosibirsk itself, Omsk, Barnaul and others. The platform resembles a big ship sailing on the Ob, from which ancient Siberian cities are visible through its windows.  

How to get there

The easiest way to get to Novosibirsk is by plane with Aeroflot or Novosibirsk airline S7 with one-way tickets from Moscow costing from 200-250 USD. If you decide to take from the train from Moscow, you’ll have to travel approximately a third of the Trans-Siberian Railway. That’s 3,300 kilometers over almost a three-day journey. 

Where to stay

There are many great hotels in Novosibirsk. Amongst the best include a four-star Doubletree hotel by Hilton , which is located near Lenin Square (per room from $200). After renovations and repairs, the congress-hotel Novosibirsk has improved (per room from $100) and is located across from the train station. Less expensive but of a similar standard is the four-star River Park hotel near Rechnoy Vokzal metro station, which costs $80 per night.
