Thanks for this, I think I will look at similar design. :)
Dear all, I have a doubt about leeboard dimensioning. The general rule that I found for keels, is to have a surface of 4% of the sail area. But,...
Hello everybody. @ExileMoon gave me great insights about junk building. In particular I loved the idea of a completely flat bottom, in which...
Not this design. The 'big' one is too expensive to build for me right now. So I switched to a smaller boat, to use in lakes. I did buy the...
I modified my design to meet your suggestions. I dont want to make it too difficult to build. Sides are now shaped. The widest point 2/5 to stern...
This helps me a lot in understanding junk design. It seems to me that if you want a deeper hull you just decrease the dimension of the flat area...
This week end I played with Freeship and Rhino, I wanted to try a smaller boat flat-headed and flat-bottomed. By observing the pictures you...
True! Thanks, good insight
Yes, I think it would be better to call it double or triple chine. Anyway, I would suggest the one with the lower number of chines. In my opinion...
Thank you so much!!! As you said, there are just few books on the subject, and most of them are focused on the junk rig - which is also very...
Thank you for the info, this helps me to clarify some things. The truth is that my main objective was to design a boat to build for me: I wanted...
The first sharpie looks like a Jim Michalik AF series. The second boat - which I like a lot - is simple and nice, and I like the rig setting. I...
The plan is to build the boat in plywood and epoxy (stitch & glue). Unfortunately the dimension you are referring is standard in US, but where I...
I like it. I actually have a flat bottom version on the design. The reason for which I preferred a V bottom is due to the supposed pounding of...
Current state of the design. Trying to make it simpler and simpler..[ATTACH]
Beautiful vessel!
Hello everyone. An update about the design. Many things changed again. At the end I have been able to workout a single chine version that seems...
Dear All, I am designing a small sailing boat using Freeship. When I run the Stability Curves, the software gives me the following warning...
I hope that's where I have the highest righting moment. If it was where I dont have any more positive stability I'm afraid I would capsize the...
