There is no drawing of the rudder. 50-year-old one design class and the designer isn't with us anymore. I might get around to drawing one in CAD...
OK. Thanks.
I don't think that the Palowina alone is structurally adequate. I've done quite a bit of laminating over the years, so I have a good idea of the...
I will admit, I am itching to try resin infusion. I'm not setup for it... yet. It looks like a very clean way to get a great laminate.
On the trailing edge, it allows you to join glass to glass without having to wrap the edge and increase its thickness. Once the foil is shaped,...
It definitely will be laminated, 150x50 0r 100x50 planks. The trailing edge will most probably end up being vertically laminated with say 4mm of...
Yes, absolutely. I have a plan, how practical it turns out to be is another thing! I expect to have to revise it, at least a little, when I have...
Palowina doesn't take on water, it's supposed to be one of its strengths for marine use. If I end up using it, I'd probably treat it with...
Thanks for the effort! I will take a closer look later in the day. First blush I am a little surprised @ the weight of the laminate, I had roughly...
Thank you all for the input!
[ATTACH] The official replacement is ~$3300, I'm sure I can build one for a fraction of that. The design (Adams 10) was penned in the early...
1. It's a one-off male moulded project, so I need a core of some sort. 2. Paulownia doesn't absorb water. 3. Paulownia is stronger as a core than...
Quite probably! The original rudder is a transom hung, almost certainly female moulded and foam filled on assembly. So I expect that it is low...
Just in case it's not a timber you use... Paulownia [IMG] Paulownia (Paulownia tomentosa) Common Name(s): Paulownia, Royal Paulownia, Princess...
Cool, thanks. I'm not so sure about the laminate calculator that I found online. 10 laminates of 600gsm to get to 6mm sounds like a lot. Ignoring...
I might have to replace an old transom hung rudder. The boat is 34' but only about 2.8T, pretty light in the scheme of things. I'm thinking of...
No worries, I probably didn't make it obvious enough! :D
Yep that be the link I posted :D
I have been on the 35' Ben Lexcen designed boat built this way, called "Dynamite" by the way. She was a good looking good preforming craft. As for...
Rapscallion, To me it actually looks like a very good shape to cylinder mould and you would have to suppose that it would come out slightly...
