The benefits would be a softer ride in a chop, a longer waterline to allow a slightly faster trolling speed and less resistance at pre-planing...
Lines drawing sans color. I wish there were a way to hide layers in the linesplan.
You're right. It was unclear. I've uploaded a new lines drawing. (Is there a way to get Free!ship+ to not show interior furniture through the...
I switched to metric, it works fine. (but now my power figures are in Kw :-\ )
there are differences between freeship and delftship. The freeship project forked into the closed source delftship (under the ownership of the...
maybe it's not liking my imperial units.
I confirm what Lewis said. When I change the material thickness in the layer properties dialog (FREE!ship+) the mass of the hull goes up but the...
freeship or FREE!ship+? Either way, save drawing views for creating bulkheads, seats, soles and longitudinals. (Remember to compensate for hull...
calculations -> resistance -> calculation for re-planing and planing ships. after extracting data from current hull, the user is prompted for...
Do I understand you correctly? I should make the aft section of the bottom flat (remove camber), and increase the deadrise forward? Currently...
Stitch and glue open fishing skiff. 5 oz Dynel in epoxy over 9mm hull, 12mm bulkheads and seats. Flotation fore and aft, built in lockers under...
Kinect and Wii-Motes Hackers are very close to doing this with consumer electronics. I see .5mm accuracy of house-scale objects using open...
Very nice, river runner. I like it a lot. I think it's significantly more versatile than the conventional drift boat. Do you have specs for it?
Thanks guys, I'll be able to report more sensibly about her real world performance after a season or two. The Coast Guard indicated that Drifter...

From Shultz Engineering. I once watched a TV show on PBS that discussed aerodynamics of supersonic airplanes. They talked about passive and...
This is extraordinarily nice. I made a cedar strip Wee Lassie, but I like your chine technique a lot.
It'd be easier if it weren't on his local hard drive.
Delftship has a good tutorial.
