CATAMARAN — ROTOR-SAIL

CATAMARAN — ROTOR-SAILCATAMARAN — ROTOR-SAILI want to tell readers about the catamaran, the movement is carried out with the help of Magnus effect.

For the longitudinal framing members used a tube from another old clamshell. To blend with a transverse pipe of the framework we came up with, we think, quite an interesting way. After cutting at the end of each longitudinal pipe is made semi-circular notch. At the point of joining on the transverse elements wound through three or four layers of textile adhesive tape and placing the longitudinal pipe, pulled the frame to a steel cable.
