Final blueprints

[Willallison]

no there's no standard that covers all boats - each is different and requires complete scantling calculations.
At the time that we reached the point where preliminary scantling calcs could be done on O-1 (and I'm not really too sure that we're quite there yet...) I didn't have sufficient knowledge to do it myself - and since nobody else has leaped in to do them, the project stalled somewhat. Alas my Westlawn studies are taking precedence over O-1, so unless someone else wishes to do the calcs, it will be a while before scantlings can be done...

Yes, please help. Some dedicated volunteer step forward please and bring this wonderful project to completion!

I am sure given enough time I'll have to learn this stuff and try to do it myself, but I'm not sure I would want to go in the water in a boat I designed ;-)

The deep fine entry of your design will likely cause "bow steering" in a large following sea. Lowering the chine would help some.

Attached are the lines of a very successful aluminum (developable) hull done in Autoship. This boat has a remarkable combination of smooth ride and stability. She is 25 x 8'6". The stations shown are 24" apart.

The upturned chines forward prevent "chine slap" at anchor and also deflect water aft rather than sideways when running fast.
