Do you have something to say about "Jinx" ?

[CenkA]

I want to build Jinx. What do you suggest me about building steps ?

[boat fan]

Not sure what you mean actually.

Is there a link to plans , looks like an older design of conventional plywood on frame construction , which is quite straight forward. Should be easy and quick to build ( small boat ).

[Jeff]

Is this the plan/article you are working from?

I asked general information about "Jinx building".
If anyone had build Jinx before,maybe he/she could give me suggestion about building steps !

Specially i can say;

Is it possible to make each frame only one-piece from 12mm plywood ? i don't want to make old-style frame.

Plywood frames are weak for their weight. Half the fibers are in the wrong direction.

Not sure that there are any benefits to building plywood frames .

This link may help , it`s not a jinx , but the build is very similar process.

Hope it`s of help.

Sure, use well mixed epoxy and lots of stainless steel screws.

Jeff, i am sorry;yes plans are from svensons.com.

If Plywood frames are weak ,Maybe i can use foam sandwich method.
8mm DIAB foam +biaxial fibers+epoxy resin.Sandwich method building ,is good enough for the frames ?

boat fan thanks for the link.It is similiar with Jinx...

.

No,
the foam is even weaker than ply, much weaker! Though it has its benefits and for panels it may be good, but not for frames.
Stay with the original ply frames, if they are specified, there´s nothing wrong with them.

Whatabout vacuum infusion process !.
If i manufacture frames with vacuum infusion method .Is it again weaker than ply ?

Yes, I would make it electric if I were you.

[CenkA]

Electric for this little boat ! i think it is too smal for electric boat...

[Submarine Tom]

Definitely electric, with a flex drive, a big prop and lots of expensive

batteries (LiPo). Don't forget to plug it in when you get home!

Just borrow a torqeedo motor with Lithium batteries for a demo.
refer: http://www.torqeedo.com/us/hn/produc...ebersicht.html
Bear in mind an electric motor is much more efficient. A Torqeedo 1Kw motor is approx equivalent to a 4 Hp outboard. Your boat will be ligther also.

borrow in Turkey??? Stealing is simpler!

What do you think is vacuum infusion Cenk? Does it infuse strength into a weak material? Or maybe just resin?
