All this wouldn't be a problem if wood was actually a suitable building material. Lol.
Why haven't I gotten any new post notifications for this? The plans I have are for a Buccaneer 24 trimaran. They are drawn and designed using...
Hello everyone, I'm wondering if anyone knows what type and thickness of foam I can substitute in place of plywood. Ie: plans call for 1/4"...
Well after reviewing the "class rules" it seems my Paper Tiger is not class legal (round beams and a loose footed sail!), but seeing as how I'm...
Oh man... Talk about lucky find... Looks like I have a few upgrades I need to do.
Sadly the Tornado no longer exists as it's rig was scavenged for Gizmo.
I recently bought this 14' catamaran but I have no idea as to the make of it. It's fiberglass hulls with plywood bulkheads, daggerboards and is...
Just wondering as to how hard it would be to make a mould of a pre existing hull. I have a wood sailing dinghy that I am tired of fixing and...
Neat idea, nice blueprints but this whole idea looks like it's be very prone to tipping over... Especially going hard to port.
error on my part there, core is 1/2, glass is 1/16.
The builders of my 33 were making a boat to take across oceans, it's surprisingly light considering. Even as over built as it is it still sits...
As much as I love wood boats (it's genetic...) I'm trying to move away from them, hence why I'm thinking of using foam. My 33 uses 1/2" foam...
I'd rather not go with the exact measurements in foam as it may be more than is needed.
I was just going over the build plans I got from OS7 and I came to the materials sheets. I'm wondering if there is a conversion chart or...
Thinner, lighter, longer.
Twixt, my late father's B24 was readily taking on some of the fastest Banks 35 catamarans in western Canada back in the '80s. The main hull's...
I wish I had the blueprints to my dad's B24, from the stories I've heard he pretty much had Twixt tuned and refined about as high as a B24 could get.
The boat is definitely marine ply, I know the former owner and he doesn't cut corners. It looks like I have some investigative work to do in...
Yeah well it was wood when I bought it so... The next one will be something sensible like foam and fiberglass. Further inspection still, main...
Looks like my "minor delamination issue" has mutated into a full blown major repair as an inspection of my amas showed that the same two bulkheads...
