As some others have pointed out, unless you have a particular reason for restricting length to 2.4 metres it may make sense to give the boat a bit...
"due to Poisson ratio effects." Nice point. Hadn't thought of that.
Just as one example from a quick search: Welcome - Kellogg Hardwood Lumber http://www.kellogghardwoods.com/ You could drive there and back in a...
I should have said that it's fine to cut and fit the actual scarf joints on the bench first. That makes a lot of sense. Just don't try to steam...
Bend first. Scarf later. Doing it the other way is begging for trouble.
Just noticed something today (yes, I'm not very active here these days). The textarea for replies has minute text. Which is dumb, since it should...
There are a couple of points you should be aware of. 1/ The original boat is not a lightweight. It's designed for a fairly substantial...
Are you looking to buy a going concern with no work needed, or to build a boat, or to modify an existing boat? Just off the top of my head, if...
I see this is still going. You're not even interested, are you? This is either pure willful ignorance, or a very good imitation of it. Standard...
Why don't you tell us? I'm sure you have some wonderful ideas.

Not really. Just some 4x2 offcut blocks screwed to an MDF base board. Should be adequate. Although personally I'd probably steam the laminates...
Not really. Those outriggers should be pretty easy to laminate. Can't see it being an issue for anyone who has done a bit of laminating before.
See? It worked. There ya go.
I don't expect you to have any confidence. I've long since given up expecting a rational response from those who devote their lives to denying...

Oh stop being such a panty-wetting alarmist. Nobody is trying to take your freedom. We just want a reasonable world to live in, which...
As length increases, the Reynolds number also increases. As the Reynolds number increases, the coefficient of friction decreases. The result...
How allergic are you? You shouldn't be getting it on your skin anyway. If the vapour is a problem for you, use a cartridge respirator. Sanding...
Hey KJL, what's your opinion on those scantlings? Do you think 6 mm paluownia and 4 oz glass would be feasible?
