TANSL is an honorable man he knows his stuff and has given me design help before, I'm sure you will be impressed with what he can do for you....
I have started with a couple sheet of paper working on a 1:2 right now I am using a thin piece of wood and some small bricks to shape the curves,...
Sorry to sound like I know less than I do - Is the station spacing in the center of the station? Should I account for the width of each station...
The fairing is exactly what I am looking to perfect - I guess without mathematically calculating, my curve drawings need to be accurate and...
Very helpful Thank you !
Thank you both for mentioning the scale, I believe that was the challenge I was having, and by not starting too small at first
Exellent I think you are right - I am over complicating this - I can simply draw the curve and then measure with a ruler to the curve It may be...
I am attempting to find the LENGTH not the area of the stations (half of the "bulkheads") The drawing in the fist post is crude, only something to...
Thank you for offering to help The drawing is not accurate it is only an illustration, I will need to refine the curve, may look at a few...
I should have given more attention to high school calculus Can you tell me an easy way to find the "X" measurement Maybe a picture to help give me...
I might do a test but maybe someone else has, does epoxy lose weight as it hardens? How about polyester based resins puttys or gelcoats?
If I am understanding your metric system that is about 20 lbs of gelcoat, potentially 3-4 gallons in my part of the world - It would very much be...
Maybe the issue is I am using a graph paper with 1/4" blocks=1" real size, and with the pencil lines it's had to make out deviations of actual...
Still learning - and know more now than I did when I first posted in the thread a few months ago -anyways- I have a decent understanding of each...
Thanks for the information Wish I could find a site to "download" them :)
My research says approx 50* bow deadrise?????
Interesting, I see the Cutty Sark design, looks similar to the offshore racing boat hulls I am trying to better understand So if they have a 24...
Is the picture convex of concave? You mention convex but I was thinking the transverse is concave in that picture.... I am trying to figure out...
You said along the length of the hull - Then wouldn't most deep-V hulls be variable deadrise because they have a high deadrise in the bow area and...
Is variable deadrise equal to "concave" design? Are they similar or different and why? Seems to me lifting strakes are used during the "change"...
