Yup ... The interrelated nature of all specs on boats confounds things and makes no one simple answer easy. That said, my marine modeling...
Tom (Lathrop) ... One thing that I wanted to point out in your remarks above about the C-Dory "needing" more horsepower than the boats being...
Fire away! I love all the discussion! Brian
Thanks, Tom. As you know with deadrise, some of the water moving past the hull moves outward rather than straight back, which means you are...
Anybody out there know the stern deadrise of the C-Dory Venture 26? We don't have them in the boat shops around this part of the country, and...
In varying degrees, this is true and is the main trade-off. Nothing rides like a big Orca or SeaSport with their high displacement and deep V...
Ah, the age-old trade off! You always pay ... but will it be with your time, or your money? The Great Alaskan can be on the water (boat,...
True ... for offshore, the heavy deep-Vs run like a Cadillac. The shallower deadrise of the C-Dory gives it higher mileage though. We know the...
When it comes to the Great Alaskan design, the 'dory' in my original description only applies to the flared sides and really, nothing else is...
I once heard about a research company in Oregon (USA) that was approaching a final solution for making hydrogen pellets that could be transported,...
I like the style of the C-Dories and their seaworthiness is legendary, but they can be real pounders too ... been there, done that. I've never...
Hi All, I'm wondering how many boats are built like the Great Alaskan, designed with a nearly prismatic hull form ala Lindsay Lord (I have his...
Thanks, Frank... I look forward to hearing what article it was. Brian
OK ...I like high tech but don't like spending $$$. The description by Viking North is close to what I will do I think (I'm taking the lines off...
OK ...the key search phrase is "taking lines off" and here are the results. Which article were you referring to? Bray, Kathy, illustrator:...
Frank ...Thanks ...But do you have any hints, links, or references to the article in question? I tried searching the magazine back-issue index...
That RhinoPhoto system looks pretty cool ...are there competitors to their system that are worth checking out too? Thx, Brian
Just an FYI: I've finally finished the plans for the Great Alaska, a BC Trawler styled (forgive me) trailerable planing hull designed for...
