:D Yes because we did build the next one in the same serie. Then not this thickness in the bulb. So I guess you do have a point there. Almost every shipyards does have its own standards. If it was an Ice breaker it would be even thicker. But as far as I know this one was built for mediteranian...

Thanks TANSL. I do agree but not all the way. In the shipyard I work we did have the overdimensioned plates where we were not sure if the length was enough. The fore was one of these. As we in a sharp bend 30mm plate Over 6meter we would have a gap of 30 mm. Yes you are able to put ceramic and...

To answer more about what you asked about. This sheet in the hull you posted I think will be no problem to develope. Just lengthen 10 mm and stretch the width about 10mm also and I think you will be very close to reality. And I think you can almost grind and sand the overdimensioned plate in place.

Imagine what happens when we bended crosscurvatures for the bulb to a ship. The worse i parsitipated in is a forebulb with thickness 40mm. I can not remember what ship it was and why it had this thickness. The only I remember is that it was not an icebreaker. The man who made the folding is not...

One thing i suppose you have to take in the calculation. As far as I know Freship makes the unfolding with the length of inside thickness of the plates. So if you have a curvature in a sheet with radius you have to offset the lines a bit. For an example. You have a curvature with inside radius...

When employed with access of Inventor I did make a hull in freeship and designed the rest with Inventor. Became this. http://janne.mammamita.se/?p=964

Actually I have participated in building passenger and roro hulls and maybe you have seen some of my pictures in here. 200 meters long and hull weight about 10 000 - 15 000 tonnage before mounting fittings and interior. I have not designed the alurex of Sweden Tuna 18 but participated in the...

Hi Bartboat! You typed "yeah, i know its ugly." I want to say. Dont scale down yourself and the work you have done. For the first I think most of us in here understand that the functionality was the most important when you designed the bracket. Well, all who wants can see that the bracket...

I think the angle of propellershaft is regarding that the through hull pipe will pass above waterline maybe. Else I do agree the angle looks quite strange.

Spiritwolf! Did you make any fun out of your canoe? Would be fun to know.

Else you can cut it just in half. Glue a pair of boot in the bottom and use it for walking on water as Jesus. :D Anyway you have good oportunity to have fun as a creative person. I bet you will have som fun with it. :)

We look forward to see it in its preferable element. Water! :)

Why not cut it in the middle longitudinal and place the sheet in the cutted area. Then you are able to use it as a catamaran. :)

Jeremy I started almost there where you are right now for about five years ago. Today I am able to build my own design. So it is not impossible but please dont draw some lines you think work. Take as much advantage to know it will work before you start. Haha at this moment Hoyt know how my...

Haha! No I dont think this is nessesary. This was my first built and I dont even know if the boat exists any more?

Yes! This one was a prototype to test sailing with boards insted of textile. Actually it did work but the textile does have much more effiency. But I did have fun. :) The upper boat is not ready yet as it is to cold here in northern of europe to get epoxy to harden. I did do a test launch and...

Manie! Even in Sweden we do some small boats. At least one of us. hehe

Wow! Good luck Lewis. This will be great. I do allready like this little boat. :)

I don´t see the centerboard for sailing. Else, why shouldn´t it work?

Yes you are welcome!
