Re: Twist of the position of the hulls to each other
Yes, I have already heard about this modification. More details and perhaps some pictures would be interesting. I guess you need two new little longer cables. And for mounting the ends, you need professional help and special tools. Also I guess you need new shaped nuts with longer screws for the cen...

Re: assembly order
Hello Vitaly,
thanks for answering.
Perhaps at the end a misunderstanding. I wanted to know why there is no need to pull all cables with the same power? Because estimating the power will probably result in different tractive forces on each cable.

How to clean the white hull surface best ?
Former hulls were grey. New Ducky hulls are delivered just in white. Certainly, it looks nice. But you see any polution on the surface. Most evil, any ugly grey traces of the alloy beams stay forever on the white hulls and it seems nearly impossible to me to get rid of them. So how to clean the whit...

Twist of the position of the hulls to each other
Hello, the Ducky 17 is a quite stable and stiff inflatable. But sailing at stronger winds I was wondering how much the position of the hulls to each other twist remarkable around the under-mast beam. I guess one of the reasons for this phenomen are the crowfeet for the shrouds. Reacting on gusts you...
