I have two brands of laminating Epoxy, one expensive, one cheap. I have found that the cheap one does one hell of a job when laminating a new part...
You'll have to wait until next summer. She'll spend this summer up in the air getting all dressed up!
Do I smell a bet coming on?
All my Finnish friends drink KoskenKorva (vodka) so I'm afrad that it would be a mess! :D
I'm planning to build a chain locker in the bow later on, so this sandbag test will give me great information on where to locate it right. This...
Nope, it's tight as a nun!
Thanks! This is what a forum is all about! So it's safe to assume that a heavier bow may result in better straight line handling? I'll have to...
I have in mind to make the rudder more balanced by moving the rudderstock and bearing farther aft both on rudder and hull. She'll also get a...
Yes, the flaps are removed already. They are original mounted equipment by Saga on both 24 and 27 models. By filling the gap, do you mean making...
1. It goes in a almost straight line in calm weather, only small corrections needed. 2. Even small waves means that I must constantly compensate....
Would a relocation of the rudder further aft have a positive impact on directional stability? Saga 24 is equipped with a rather large balanced rudder.
My grand old lady, a long keeled Saga 24 has directional stability as a drunk teenager. I can't let go of the wheel at any point or she turns on...
That would be much appreciated. I'll just have to wait until the snow has melted around the hull so I can make the measurements. Still winter in...
Of course I care about turbulence, but as the complexity to get the flow lines right is above my math skills I have to settel for something...
All in all I think that eyeballing, common sense and a little good luck is the preferred way to go whit my little ship. I was most interested if...
Thanks Leo, openfoam looks promising. Luckily I'm a Linux fanatic so this will be exciting!
Just go get my bilge keels to follow water flow alog hull.
Both scale model and CFD is a little bit of a problem as there are no existing drawing available. I could of course measure the underwater part of...
I'm trying to understand how to predict flow lines along hull when driving a boat in a straight forward motion. The boat is a traditional double...
