Update: This weekend my son and I started back in on the boat. We milled the wood for the cleats, seat supports and daggerboard framework. We...
I lied... I just remembered the two strips in the basement still soaking. I'll let them dry out some then trim them down to size too.
Nothing really picture worthy but I spent an hour outside freezing my... trimming all the strips down to 2 1/4" wide and cutting 42 4" blocks the...
I have one of each and I love them. [img] [img] http://www.duckworksbbs.com/tools/shinto/index.htm
Epoxy has an exothermic reaction which creates heat and helps it cure. Warming it up a few degrees will hasten it's curing. There are different...
My personal inclination would be to lop the keel off completely, rig a centerboard or leeboard(s) and if you actually need ballast, bolt it to the...
That keel is more than 2 cubic feet... I would say somewhere around 5 cu ft or about 315 lbs displacement, maybe more.
How would the program be able to unfold the flat panels of a chined boat if it could not represent the surface? If it can represent the surface,...
I showed him how to get the real time points on the surface. The control points are something different. The output of the export offsets function...
I though I was telling him how to see things in "real time" or as close as possible as far as the chines and round hull points. Having no...
My observation... that is a BIG box keel, with lots of buoyancy. You are going to need to figure out the cubic footage and determine the buoyancy...
For a round hull things are similar except there are no knuckles except for sharp corners such as the keel area. Here is a picture of the same...
To see the surface values in real time export the offsets. File, export, offsets. This will give you the values at the stations you select under...
Muy Bueno!! Second time around is a charm. It's a little tight but 5/16" wet should bend as well as 1/4" dry, so this looks good. [img] Now...
Final version (hopefully). Now 18'9" long, 5'5" beam, 10" draft at 1000 lbs displacement with board up.
Thank you Hoyt! I reworked the Buttock lines for the keel/stem area and got what I think will work. It affected the trim a tad so I had to...
Some progress today and some retrograde too. We (my son) decided we (I) will build the 6 strake version. Started laying out the Stems today to...

I'm in a real quandary... I got all over artistic and started playing around to see what she would look like with a few more strakes... now I...
