Volga Hydrofoils Messageboard

In August 2017 I had a collision on the River Rhine. Sailing downstream along the promenade of Emmerich am Rhine (Germany) a guy with a small speedboat came from the shore at high speed and tried to make before hitting me a 90 degree turn show off. He missed timing and hid me full speed with the sid...

Hallo George, Danke dass du mir auf den Laufenden hältst! My daughter has been working on our drawing, for what we think is our most “desired” form for the front screen and for 3 rims over the front middle and back of the boat. Rims that will hold a “tent”cover. At the moment in Bucuresti Romania, a...

Do you have drawings of your latest design. it sounds intreging!

Who has info on the original propeller of the Z drive AQ270?
What is a reference for the max speed for the Volga?

Good document
Questions:
1 how is the wiring in the inside of the boat between the anodes and the body of the boat?
2 what should one do on a long trip where sweet and salt water is met. (Danube - Delta - Black Sea. Bosporus Adria) have extra anodes in the lugage?

I am finishing all electrical components in the boat.
I need help on the following
1 there has been an electrical connection between the Inox parts and the anodes. how is this configured?
2 Which anodes can be used where and especially what I use on salt water (Black sea/ Adria )

Do you have suggestions where, who? I do have a verbal description of what I want, but it does not fit here.

Rhine, Danube, Elbe, Oder, Don, Dnepr, Volga, Lena.). This is the main perspective during the project and determines ...

I want the angle reduced to 30degrees and the length up to 1 meter. I had an offer for 4500 Euro. To be honest that sucks. Can anyone he...
