The Solo 16 looks perfect. I manufacture CNC flat-bed routers. Do you sell plans in a DXF file? If you do, I could cut all the components on my machine, making the operation a lot easier.

Please write back to me at Chris@Wedgesail.com and we can discuss the potential further. Chris O Hi Chris,

Hi Geoff,

Perhaps we can come to an agreement about the use of a .dxf file for the Solo 16 Sport. Please write back to me at Chris@Wedgesail.com and we can discuss the potential further.

Is the Solo 16 and the A-18T the same boat? I'm have sent some queries out to Boatbuilders.net and got some exciting answers. I'm curious about this craft. Has there been building progress of the prototype. Are there contemporary pictures of the process/progress? Hi there, are you (Chris) building this boat? Is the Solo 16 and the A-18T the same boat?

The idea looks very attractive to me. Do you have plans available? Any prototypes built so far? Can it use not only hulls but also rigging (mast, boom, sails etc) of a 20' cat? Thanks! Hi Chris,

Easier or much easier build. Will the A21+ and the A225 have the same set up? Have you any more information on the A21+ and A225? Material list to build would give me a good idea how much the build will cost. Please email me more information on these two boats. Thanks for your help. ********************** Hi Bud, For the past week, or so, I've been fiddling with several aka beam strategies for these three boats. The simplest build would be the straight tubes that fit into sockets and are secured with waterstays, as long as the owner can handle the lifting and rotating of the ama for insertion. I figure that the A225 ama will weigh about 80 pounds, so it's no casual affair and will be much better if done by two people. There are about three other possible methods for demounting or folding that I'm kicking around. I'm also compiling an article that looks at all three boats as a group, while defining the differences and possible advantages for each. Stay tuned for that piece.
