I've been revising the boat further and further. I think I have a pretty good handle on the program now. I also added a deck and cabin using the...
I tried to attach the lines drawing of the boat I designed that I did on Freeship. Tell me what you think if it is there.
Nevermind.
I tried downloading Fastship, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. Do I need another type of software to use it? In other words, exactly...
cool-thanks.
Also where can i freeship to download?
Thanks. I have always loved drawing things by hand, and I didn't have access to a really good CAD program, but I did have a design book, some...
Thanks guys. I really like this method of learning new things as well. Also, like I said I am very new at this, and I don't have any training, so...
I know exactly what you mean, and I did a little bit of research and found that 30,000 pounds seems to be in an aceptable range for high...
That's good. The boat I needed the displacement for was one I designed. It is a fifty foot high performance sailing cruiser. I did the...
Thanks again. P.S. Does anyone know what the normal displacement for a fifty foot high performance cruising yacht is?
Thaks guys. I actually own the principles of yacht Design, but I didn't quite understand what they meant (mostly because i didn't know there were...
In other words, can i find displacement without any wieghts using only a ;ines drawing and a model?
thanks. what I am trying to do is determine the displacement of a boat I designed, but I don't know how much anything weighs. All I have is the...
oops-weight
Hi- Does anyone know how to calculate displacement using only a lines drawing? I guess you could take the volumetric displacment in cubic feet or...
to agree with other members, Boat design is an artistic science. You have to be able to visualize the boat first, but then you ahve to make it...
Thanks again for the help. I am hoping to get started soon, but with schoolwork and the end of the marking period coming up it will be hard. Thanks!
It is 25" long with a scale of 1"= 2'. Representative of a fifty foot sailboat.
