Pictures Please?
I'm not sure if there is enough interest because I think it would require a significant amount of joint effort. But this forum might be the...
On this thread there seems to be three different types of reviews, all called peer review: 1) Peer review for scientific merit, such as for...
Are there any pictures or line drawings of these hulls, perhaps already posted? I checked the yahoo groups link but did not find them. thanks.

A third option occurred to me, which I think might be most desirable in repairing ferro-cement boats. I’ve heard that the old concrete and new...
I have some interest in the interaction of the Portland cement and polymers also. I have not looked into this very much and would be very...

Have you considered a transverse asymmetric hull form? The asymmetry should provide a little more pointing ability, which might be more fun....
Larry, Do you have text book examples for sandwich construction in your library and sperate examples for a "T" crossection beam of deflection....
Are there any indications of weakening of the structure?
Isolation Transformer I'm not certain what you mean by shore power here, but you're not mentioning the isolation transformer which is a very...
