That could be a Tony Castro design. I think a couple of boats designed as a development of the MG26 was built in Denmark around that time. Edit:...
There are a number of free scripts for doing polar plots in excel out on the net. Just google "excel polar plot" and you will find plenty to...
I think the Robber was designed by a guy called Peter Ståhle possibly in cooperation with others. He was a reasonably active designer here in...
Here are a few pics of a very crude but cheap system we built for an ILC-40 about 10 years ago. We had a solid steel bar through the hole in the...
In my mind the words intact stability refers to the stability properties of an undamaged ship or boat. If some damage such as a leak occurs one...
The main number to look at is the transverse metacentric height. The initial stability of a ship is a function of the metacentric height and the...
What PAR said.... You have made the vessel very narrow for a boat of this kind and it is unlikely that there is enough displacement to support the...
Its impossible to tell without knowing more. First what type of boat are you designing?
Thx for the replies guys :) We're gonna try PVA when making the plug for the new mould... hopes it helps

Thank you :)
We tried heating but nothing happens. Thx for trying.:) ... The decision has been made to build a new mould so the problem will be solved albeit...
Thxs..the missing featured keep being added..

From my experience over the years with somewhat similar boats (X-3/4 ton, X-99, Albin Express and J/24's) I would say that using NACA 4-digit...
Thx for your replys I'm pretty sure the problem is in the mold...... We use the same gelcoat and mold release in the hull mold and...
We're having a problem with some kind of contamination in the deck mold for a small OD keel boat that we are producing. The contamination makes...
