Mange II - the re-launch of the Snow Pea

-whoops… accidentally posted the below in the old thread first-

That is awesome.

It took me forever to figure out why you picked that name… but very clever.

I almost brought a net with me this time - at this launch and the previous, I could see quite large fish swimming near the surface around the boat - I reckon now that the stability is solved, it shouldn’t be completely impossible just to scoop a couple of them out and take them home for tea.

That’s awfully kind of you, but do fish really take tea? I’ve heard they have hardly any manners at all.

Missed this yesterday. Well done! I’m surprised how small the outrigger is, but delighted for you that it had such a significant stabilising effect.

Cheers. The buoyancy of the outrigger nacelle greatly surpassed my expectations - I thought it would ride much lower in the water, but the very flared V profile (in both axes) means that it only has to be pushed down about an inch or so and the displacment doubles - so it’s never going to do much more than skim along - which is not a bad thing at all.
