This is the shape and placement I finally settled on. Above is the mould, cnc milled from two 15mm thick pieces of aluminium bolted together. Very similarly to Craig Smiths Obsession I am going to mount the RMG winch on one side, and have a compartment for the battery on the other side. This is … Continue reading Noux Radio Installation
We've moulded the first aft-deck with the new pot-recess for the round lid+rim that is going to be the only hatch into the new boat.

A progress update on the building of the second generation Noux IOM - by Olof Ginström and Anders Wallin.
Pete Trimmer has been busy finishing his boat and sent me some pictures of his progress: "Well the FAT NOUX now looks more like a boat than a pin cushion" Aussie Green and Gold paint scheme.
The latest IOM building activity in Finland: a group of builders in Turku have moulded a hull mould from the original Noux plug + designed their own deck plug and made a deck mould.
Inspired by the drawings and design info available on my site, and by Michael Scharmers article on iom-nordic.org, Peter Trimmer (AUS) is putting together a wooden Noux. He sent me some pictures of his progress. Here is the plug for the bulb turned out of wood. A mould around this from plaster will be made … Continue reading Building a wooden Noux
An updated layout plan for the Noux-2 with the winch placed under the foredeck and a circular theme for the hatches. There's also been a request for a 3D IGES model for the Noux-2 so here it is. Update 2006 May 03: Hsinli Liu ponted out some problems with the previous IGES file. I have … Continue reading Noux 2 layout plan and 3D IGES file
