I agree with your analyis. I just tried that, but unfortunately this makes the side panels slightly wider, and the boat no longer fits on two...
Several folks suggested making the sides of the transom straight instead of curved, and I did that; it will most certainly be easier to build that...
I'm totally not sure that I'm doing everything right with Freeship; it comes with a pdf help file but there isn't much info in there about...
I agree that with the inflatable kayak only part of the "low fun factor" is due to its squishiness and that most of the low performance is due to...
Thanks so much for that offer, probably not needed for such a small boat, but maybe a bigger one. Because of this problem I usually look at the...
The bottom of the transom will be a tiny bit in the water, 2.5 cm. The end of the curve should in theory coincide exactly with the aft face of the...
I think I get it. The program uses some kind of mathematical smoothing between the stations rather than real data. If I change the station spacing...
Yes, this is the curve of the cross sectional areas for the designated waterline, and it changes based on whether I check the box that includes...
The picture with the two people still doesn't show up in the gallery so I attached it here. [ATTACH] The cardboard model of a predecessor came...
The transom is flat in the profile view, but curved on the edges, so that the hull panels would have to be bent to conform but if they won't do...
I uploaded a linesplan and plywood panel layout for a small origami skiff into the Boat Design Gallery. linesplan by BayBoater posted May 30, 2018...
My name isn't Olaf, and I'm still alive. I recently delivered an 8' "Viking boat" that I designed and built to my small nephew named Torsten....
If you mean the 2.4 Meter one-design class, you might be out of luck, some classes aren't set up for home built boats. According to the class...
Yeah, it's 8' and if by 2.4 metre you mean overall length (and not waterline length) that's really short. I'm building a double ended boat...
Seems like a lot of people are initially attracted to the "big boat in a little package" look. Those types of designs aren't generally too well...
Vielen Dank Guenter! Ich verstehe Deutsch aber nach ueber 35 Jahren in Kanada ist English meine bessere Sprache. It would totally be...
This boat called "Coskata" was designed by Pete Culler as a recreational rowboat based on a lifesaving surfboat. [ATTACH] I traced the...
