Hi,
I am designing a plywood kit boat at the moment, and I have run into a problem trying to come up with a simple way of constructing a chine flat. My preference is to do this without using a chine-log because the aim here is to have the boat be buildable by people with limited boatbuilding skills (although to be honest, one would need a fair amount of woodworking skill and commitment to finish the project...it's 26' deep V fishing boat). The other consideration is that I want as many parts as possible to be cnc cut to furthur simplify things. Obviously the more solid wood I can avoid i.e. chine logs, the better. Any help here is greatly appreciated. Even if I do need to resort to a chine log, your insight will be helpful. Thanks in advance.
