| I was digging through old notes, a 25-centimetre high pile of them, to celebrate the last day of Discardia by, well, discarding. That's the idea of it. Get rid of the stuff in your life that is dragging you down by its mere existence.

| - | After our travels were over, a farmer took Subak2 out to his place on the Murray to live on the river and a theatre group took the Subak for their climate catastrophe piece La Wallifornie. After the vessels were gone, we tried to work out what it had been about. What had worked, what was waste. What made sense, what we could have done without. One of the problems was efficiency. Neither vessel was particularly hydrodynamic. The Subak2 was based upon a racing dinghy, but the pipe extensions proved to be significant brakes. If we had learnt from the Taiwanese pipe boats from which we copied the design, we would have invested more energy in turning up the bow of the pipe sections to allow them to flow over the water rather that plough it aside. The Taiwanese also use flat packing strapping to tie the pipes in contrast to the manilla rope that we were using. We were able to continue refining parts of the Subak2 en route as we had brought several tools with us. The yuloh (an auxiliary propulsion device) was iteratively refined until it became useful and it functioned. We also learnt to use it as we battled our ignorance of how it should be made and how it should be used. | + | After our travels were over, a farmer took [[subak2 construction notes|Subak2]] out to his place on the Murray to live on the river and a theatre group took the [[subak construction notes|Subak]] for their climate catastrophe piece La Wallifornie.
