I sure wish you lived down here in TX, g - I think we would have a lot of fun building a boat together. You understand what I am looking for in a...
Now this is my idea of a beautiful boat... http://shoestringshipyard.com/pilgrims-pride-customer-gallery/
Thanks again G! I'm not changing any design though - I don't want to screw up a pile of lumber! :D Most of my questions are simple curiosities.
Thanks for the advice, PAR! Keep in mind, I am looking for a boat that looks like it might be a fairly easy "first build" - i.e. no strakes,...
It will be a while - I just got the book (again)! :D I've started my computer model and there may, in fact, be a typo or error in the offsets for...
I'm going to computer model it, just because I want to - it has nothing whatsoever to do with build, or build method, at least not to me. For me...
It doesn't matter - I trust Gardner and I like the boat.
THAT is Wonderful! :D Thank you very much! I have seen that before, and had read through it quickly, but it was a looooong time ago and I had...
OK, I withdraw the question. However, I know there is an algebraic way to determine offsets for a developed surface, and when I find out what...
I'm not questioning Gardner's, or anyone else's hull fairness. All I am interested in is knowing how to prove them out, mathematically, or...
Par, I would love to see a sketch of the geometry you describe for developing surfaces! Is there a book or article somewhere I could read/see? I...
Could I scale the 18-ft boat down to 14-feet? I am not looking for a performance boat, just something nice to get me out in Matagorda Bay for some...
I'm a pretty fair CAD guy with more than a casual amount of surface modeling experience. If someone developed shapes in a CAD program from...
Thanks again, George! I am starting to recall what you said about the bottom rocker and width now that you mention it. I have an off-the-wall...
Thanks George! I've been to that website but I have my heart set on the Gardner Skiff - I just like it. I am still operating from memory but I...
My better half says she thinks "we" "mighta put it in a box of books we took to the used book store"... :eek: I ordered a new paper back...
PAR, Early on you suggest I might could find the offsets and lines online but darned if I can find em. For what it is worth I went and dug...
What other methods are there?
PAR, Presuming I want to retain the sawn frames and epoxy glass the exterior, how would you recommend I fasten the plywood elements to the...
