Micheal,

"fairing" starts allready page 34 -up to page 42- rite?
and actually a pritty nice flared hog/bottom it is (no flair in the side plates do). hot dipped galvanised advice, a complete shopping list and construction steps, offcourse this is the old upside down frame method with even coulking cotton between the planks! whats special on a boats nail and the bronze one on the next page in the slide show that also shows how i go using sheets -maybe even stich and glue- building a little boat/basket for the waterbike. legs are allmost ready; motor, prop etc still to come, for now its only a 1:1 model

yipster,

Is your question that you want to print full size patterns from your Cad? You need to find a print shop that has a plotter big enough for the job. 1.5m/60inches is very common. The stock is on a roll so most any length is possible. Then you need to get the driver for that plotter and install it on your PC. Then print to file your Cad, using the right driver. Put that file on a floppy or disk and off to the print shop.

Michael,
Nice sentimental site and thank you, but DUnt NO… The boathouse looks like my favourite uncle’s backyard, but that was on the “westeinder lake” near http://www.verhoef-alu.nl/ (put on your seatbelt!) also located near schiphol airport were the richer part of the family was flying and use to circle over the house waving when I was young. So that’s H1, the first boat registration number here! Such numbers in England be worth! “A natural interest in the technical and scientific development of boatbuilding” with Bernard I certainly share, times change but the spirit is here!

And thank you Gary, dud’nt kno bout that driver, make some calls soon to find a 1.5m / 60 inches plotter (the nicer side of modern times) but realised better to construct a A pipes frame first, aint done yet...
