Thanks for another great video of your Cross 18. I was wondering if you might be able to help me with a trimaran build I am trying to finish. I know you were lucky enough to find one built, but would you be able to share any information on the hinges used on the akas? I've been trying to find a good hinge solution, and the ones on your Cross 18 look great. Thanks again for your video!
Ken Kracko hi there. I’d recommend you join the the Texas 200 Facebook site. You’ll get lots of input with a question like that. It’s doable with 24” draft. And you’ll have a blast. Mine had a 16” draft board up. Up to 42” board down. I did fine. Your not going to beach her in those shallow anchorages. Anchor off. You’re not going go through the back Bay route - I didn’t. But boy is it fun. And lots of alternative ICW and deeper bays to sail your heart out. Tow a plastic SUP or take a kayak. Get ashore if you want drier. Need deep deep reefs. Two or three preferably. Motor and bimini. Side curtains for shade really helps. Sun is vicious. But really, join the Facebook page and chat. They’ll give all kinds of advice, ribbing, real life experience...facebook.com/groups/100346820013471/?ref=share
What is that at 9:55. Could that be a stripped down 110 a 24' plywood sailboat? Looks like it could be hacked up quite a bit, frames missing. Chines intact. I could be just as easily wrong.
John Lanni It’s a John Wright special. All his boats, many many, are one-of-a-kind self design builds. ‘40 Grit’ is no exception. Can be seen at minute 13:16 here ruclips.net/video/qtVY4UJFYPY/видео.html.
It does now. Kathy T gifted it to him a while back. The “narrator” you refer to making an error, is a 12 year old boy who had never been around boats before. He did great.
Nice to see a fellow macgregor 26D! Wonder how she faired? Maybe I'll have to find out for myself one day...

Will get you some pics soon.
Did I follow thru and get you pictures? If not message me your email. Sorry, if I forgot.
Have always wanted to do the Texas 200 in my Victoria Eighteen. Some have participated in past years, did they do well?

@@ericdahlkamp6781 yeah I thought it belonged to matt now, but he renamed it mystery machine recently. and yes the "narrator" did great.
