Plus, it'd not got lots of shapes of wood to cut, just a few. Would there be any major differences if I changed the bottom to 3/4" ply rather...
I would be certainly loading it heavily most of the time, with nets and other gear, and also fish. I accept that the 16' might be too small for a...
I can manage to work out the area of ply to be covered easily enough, it's just a rough figure of how much epoxy per coat would be needed per m2...
What about either the smaller or larger version of this? http://www.gsahv.pp.fi/ecodory/ecodory.htm Also, so I can get an idea of how much...
I'm looking to build a boat for longlining from. It must also be suitable for lifting nets and creels. It must be stable, even in bad weather....

I would never put more than 1 person in a 5' boat. The halfpea needs really thin plywood, and even then the curves are hard to bend. Plus it has...
I have, incedentally, built a coracle, however not in wales.
But they wouldn't be badly constructed, they'd be well made, lightweight, portable, safe when used how recommended. I'd be interested to hear...
Would I be open to being sued if I stated clearly that it had a max weight limit of X and was only to be used in sheltered lakes/ponds? And...
5 feet is what I meant. Surely it would be significantly safer than those flimsy...
And BTW, does anyone know of a decent design that could be scaled down?
True about the resin. I have very limited funds at first, so was thinking of buying maybe about 5l to do the first boat, then using cash from...
I've made a couple of small, dinghy sized boats, but I'm still a beginner. I notice on a few websites, people are selling these for good sums of...
OK then, but where is a cheap place for west's?
Anyone know a decent place in the Uk to buy epoxy? It's about £20 a litre here, $40! I'd be willing to buy a lot to stock up. Are there any...
But when not in use, the oars don't need to be taken along. Price of 2 oars is not much compared to total price of boat.
What program are you guys using to generate the green designs of boats I keep seeing, and where can you get it? Just seems like a pretty useful tool.
Is there any reason structurally why boats only ever have space for one to row? It's just it would be good if two could row, I take it I just...
And I take it you could easily calculate the DWL if you know it's volume at all heights, and it's displacement?
