August 2011, The Tadpole by Christien Cheviron of France
7/10/2011
Another Australian has contributed a design and photos of his transportable. CRAIG TITMUS designed and built the Quarter, loosely patterned after the Toter series nesting modular hull. His design is long, 4 modules at 11' 4", and has a top speed of 9.5 knots with a 2 hp motor. I was impressed, as I am sure you are, and this is what a nice long water line will produce, with minimal power. He used “take apart” hinges on the hull bottom to resist the bending loads, and securing bolts up near the gunwale, for assembly security. His son Henry says, “You can never have too many boats dad”.

This is an article about MICHAEL BALL of Australia building the Ultra-Pram. He was a first time boat builder, and this story is interesting because it defines what can be accomplished when the builder and the designer collaborate together for a common goal. The end result is a personalized boat, well constructed, nicely detailed and now being enjoyed by the entire family. (click the photos below)

The newest, by JOSE CARMAZIO of Rio de Janeiro, is a modified design of the Poke About. His version seats two in tandem, and is used for fishing and hunting in the local waters of his home town. His ingenuity shows in all aspects of the build, yet it still looks like the Poke About. (click the photos below)
