Sudden? ohh no. not sudden. This is what my family and friends have always talked about around the table. I do this with cars, rock climbing...
Ohh no, Eric. You are pseudoreplicating. That one boat needs to be several similar boats plus replicates of the other designs. That is how you...
If one designs the boat with that static long duration moment from heeling at 60deg as 1.0. And the safety factor is 3.0. But a few hours of...
ohhh man. you are too quick for me, i am still on post 1. sorry.
I feel demastings happen too often relative to what we would want ;), one of the reasons I am postponing my build, so i can save up for free...
Maybe i am confused about materials. If i am pounding a blunt nail into a block of wood or a beneteau (..ooops did i say that out loud?) I hit...
I will agree, I feel and see that all the time. So how do we predict at what force a boat will do that, then see if that value exceeds our safety...
That helps although i will have some clarifying questions after digesting it. It is easy to say "don't do that" but when on the windward side of...
I should also ask, is this the hydrostatic righting force? If so how do we estimate (and add) the force from that sudden deceleration and change...
the Righting Moment on Roll or Pitch Axis? Hate to bump a 2 year old thread, sorry. I read it ~2 years ago. I was going back to get the...
self jigging I am still very interested in leads on self jigging techniques and designs, experiences or feedback. If i am going to convert a...

Ha ha ha, a SCALE REPLICATE TENDER!!!! ;) good idea
I realize now that the pdf files i linked to many years ago are gone. It looks like Tata bought Corus. I found one of the files but it is not...
YEAH. That is how Brent Swain builds boats. Very creative. I purchased Alex Christie's DVD many years ago that runs you through the...
Thanks for updating when you are going to be on. Please continue doing so. I will tune in for sure.
Ohh, also, it says "kevlar over foam core" Someone will correct me if i am wrong but laminating fiberglass over kevlar is not a good idea. They...
I know it feels like we are bashing your dream. Not so. We just don't want you to jump into something and then regret it. If it is a big enough...
Sorry for never finishing this thread. Thanks for the info and time everyone. There must be more to this than simply CNC milling some notches....
Thanks Bill, Yes my family used to build "stitch and glue" or "stitch and tape" kayaks. I think the Origami folks often refer to "stitch and...
