Yup, a beamy and stable (as far as a 13' canoe can be) pack boat. 13 feet x 33 inches x 11.5 inches center depth. Max load 320 pounds at4. 5" WL....
Little late to the party, I know ... that said, there are these plans at just shy of 12' ... perhaps a prettier option. Mud Peep 12 – Devlin...
Good evening folks, For you strip builders in the gang, here are plans for a compact thirteen footer. Free to download until the end of the month....
Start with two hulls something like this. They are 15' x 20". Center height is 12" with 3" rocker at either end. They are 4 panel construction...
Well, a canoe shaped like a coffin would be easier to build AND a poor design. But in general, yes, your point is valid.
Did you find somebody to help you with this Matt?
A couple of things to think about ... Your center of buoyancy is just aft of center. Your center of load is well aft of that. Ideally, the two...
Another day, another set of plans. These are for a 16.5 footer with a narrow beam. She's been on the water for a number of weeks but only uploaded...
I find myself at times redrawing once exported to a proper cad program. Kinda painful but it makes my head hurt less.
I might suggest learning the program by attempting to replicate the lines of a classic; something well known and well proven. Once you've learned...
For those who might be of the particular bent. I've drawn a new boat and posted her lines at The Ashes Angler from Ashes Still Water Boats...
We used to make longboards (as in the skateboard type), the shapes of which were far more complex than that ... we would make the forms out of...
did you find a solution?
It's clear that you love modelling. 3D work, apart from shortening time between iterations, can be rewarding on its own. And it's its own form of...
Are you modelling these changes in a design software?
I wonder if someone might want to illuminate me on the stability curves of a sit-on-top kayak? At first blush, it seems that on many of those...
Quick aside and perhaps goes without saying. Now would also be a good time to ensure that she's not racked, and correct if necessary.
When I started full time on boats I discovered quickly that Home Depot type tools weren't going to last, and I started building the cost of the...
Thank you for posting Stu ... I've always admired people with the patience to record and share their expertise ... nice boat too.
Interesting, thank you Pafurijaz ... I've been exploring ways to to render designs my designs and I have to admit that the I've never managed to...
