Great job thanks for sharing.
But longitudinal chines and curved portions continuing on are longitudinals aka girders they don't replace transverses at all. How do you figure...
Yeah, racing boats are built to the mininums of course, and they really are the bre minimums refined in the class rules. I think Gerrs scantlings...
One problem with welding any metal plating is if you pull it into shape and it's got high residual stress from being pull into a tight curve, then...
The deceit, the lies the distortions the rudeness. It's clear by now that Brent isn't just a mild fibber he's a major con artist. If he was just...
Even your zealous followers are going to have trouble swallowing that :( :( While your engineering skills are to design by trial and error. It...
You got this one totally wrong. If you haven't paid the threads relative to this much attention then how can you understand what's going on?...
How dense do you have to be to have to make up arguments you can win:rolleyes: :rolleyes: . It's really dumb to put up a straw man and knock it...
! ! !
You should use a class society scantling rules. Elements is a pretty robust approach that'll be a bit heavy. Class rules will give you a bare...
Ce bon Thanks for the post Eric. You have a beaut little boat and you followed the same sort of folding as Brent uses. Your approach to the...
BS has been his own worst enemy he shaped the debates with his rude and abrasive replies and he treated many very polite posters with malice...
Whats totally ridiculous to a rank amateur can be very sensible to an experienced hand. There are people commenting here that design metal...
It should draw a lot more heat. Come on man this guy is lying about the most significant thing that ensures your survival. All the crap about...
Junk These days you put the hull shape displacement and CG into a computer program. It does a very accurate job much better than a physical mode,...
Actually it shouldn't make any difference in weight, it's basically moving the same amount material from the bar into the adjacent stem plate ,...
Yep Although to be fair no designer ever has. Look at all the production boats that have supposed decent stab curves, then the owner adds...
Same as the full size, snip snip and pull the edges together then it defines it's own shape more or less. Give or take a bit depending on the...
Yep that would be perfectly valid, you could even hook a spring scale to the keel or mast to pull it over to different angles to get a GZ curve.
