Fixed beams-swingwingsystem

Post by erik de boer »

Can you change a DF800 MkIII (±1989) into a DF with swing wing system? The beams are almost alike the SW, only the ama's are not turnable! It seems to me that the newer SW's have a turningpoint construction under the ama-deck. Who can tell me?

I have just bought a DF800 MkII (1988) Who can help me change into a DF with swing wing system?
I need details of how to rig the swing wing system.
And don´t know exactly, how to fix the control-lines of the swing-wing-system (inside the akas and at the main-hull). Can anybody give me help, drawing and description of it?
Thanks, Mark.

Buon giorno vadoavela!
We do not know who find any solutions to something this problem.
We have several ideas (mechanisms), who now want to verify.
And now constructing.
I have not received assistance from QUORNING BOATS ApS.

We cannot recommend changing a fix wing into a Swing Wing, so we will not assist you in this process. Sorry. It is both better and cheaper for you to buy an older second-hand DF 800 Swing Wing.

With kind regards,
