Thanks! By the time I got in touch with him I was already pretty far along modeling my boat in Rhino. Also thanks again Krawiec for suggesting...
I tried to PM but it says "You may not start a conversation with the following recipients: krawiec." I assume you need to change some settings?
If you want to model it I won't complain! In 15 minutes you could probably do what would take me half a day. I will PM offsets later today, I...
I have some plans and I would like to make a model of the hull and deck to understand the aesthetic implications of raising the cabin slightly....
One good reason is to get a fair curve on the chine. On Hannu's skiff the bottom panel is not lofted, but traced from the 1/4" sides which will...
Has anyone modeled the additional drag of external chine logs? I'm curious to know how much difference this makes. For the sake of argument lets...
Oldmulti, I heard back from Don and he couldn't shed any light on the bows. Then I found the Yahoo group and searched for info on piccolo, and...
That sucks. At least you didn't build the boat and then find out. I think it looks quite nice. The hulls look quite fine, I imagine you didn't...
I think the plumb bow Jarcats are just j6's with some material added to the bow. In my first post you can see they don't trim flat (photos 2&3),...
Thanks oldmulti, I am aware of Howard Spruit. He's about 1.5 hours south of me, I might try to contact him at some point if this idea sticks. just...
will do.
Both of the boats with plumb bows are called Jarcat sixes by their owners. When underway the rear of the cockpit isn't really useful because of...
Thanks oldmulti, I'll do that. Structurally I'd probably just duplicate the area under the mast, moving it forward/backward. The backward beam...
And here I chopped some of the cabin off with photoshop. [ATTACH]
I've been looking at the Jarcat 6, thinking I could shorten the cabin and have a ginormous cockpit, as well as a nice big head in a trailerable...
It sounds like you're well aware of the tradeoffs! I made the diagram out of curiosity more than anything. That being said, I'm not convinced it...
Adding freeboard to the Tiki hull adds more beam and less headroom than you may have imagined. I made a little diagram below to illustrate this....
Ok, there, I fixed it. More freeboard, more sail area, and a private head with standing headroom! [IMG]
I'm not sure about Brisbane, where Guzzis3 is from, but here in America smaller is most definitely not better ;)
Pretty sure the Hitia is not what the OP was thinking when he said "a better tiki 21" :D
