That's another of those truisms that's utterly obvious, ONCE someone has pointed it out.... Thanks Mike. And thanks to all - good info.
Thanks all. I have a hull shape that gives an AVS of 160 degrees, and it returns to a stability of zero at 180 degrees, but I'm fiddling with the...
Sorry, I was going from the 'm' column, which gave standard values (m, m^2, m^3), and I didn't crunch the numbers. Yes, I'd like to know more too!
It appears to be as you would expect - linear dimensions are multiplied by the scaling factor, areas are squared, volumes are cubed.
Thanks... I can calculate all sorts of values for my own boat, but I'm more interested in what others consider to be minimum requirements for...
Thanks Daiquiri. The designer has given his blessings for the scaling, so apparently the scantlings will hold. It's sheath strip planked, and all...
Thanks.... the reasons for scaling are to raise the righting moment for safety offshore, and a secondary but important consideration is to gain a...
What do the designers out there consider to be a satisfactory righting moment? Do you guys have a minimum you aim for when designing an...
Laws of similtude suggest scaling up a design by a factor of 1.2 would increase the displacement by a factor of 1.73 for an equivalent loaded...
If I Recall Correctly. FWIW I used a tillerpilot continuously (24 hours/day) for an 8 day passage on a Coronet 20 (similarish size and...
The ply would be nicer to finish too. I imagine another round of grinding and epoxying would wear off the novelty... I've agonised over the...
Where's the ply going? Haven't you got some fine timbers in your creation? I've seen Bingham, but not Rable. The limiting factor in my boat is...
Yes, I'm anticipating a flush-deck with a raised centre section. No cockpit. Still a work in progress. I think they can be done nicely, and even...
Howdy P. Yes, you do have considerably more room, probably five times the volume I'm contemplating! In my boat, in order to get the length in...
WONDERUL!! Complete with construction drawings! The galley was novel, three kerosine stoves in a slide-out drawer. I love the photos; very much...
Actually, headroom isn't an issue. The hull has a deep wineglass section, and there'll be a slightly raised deck over the seat/end of berth area,...
It's not really the question, but to answer, the crew accommodations are hardly excessive: somewhere to sleep, and somewhere to sit. The 'control...
No scanner I'm afraid, but singlehander as above. LOA around 18 ft, LWL around 14 ft., beam about 6 1/2 ft, control station a little aft of...
I'm looking at possible interiors for a pocket cruiser capable of making offshore passages of reasonable duration. The first principle in the...
Yeah, it looks like an amazing tool. Those training manuals are followable but there's a lot o learn. Apparently yacht designers were involved in...
