Hi @fallguy this is the kind of answer I was looking for. Thanks for sharing your practical insights and experiance.
Hi @gonzo .. my concern is about deflection. I was asking me how much a panel of a specific size is allowed to deflect, that it still feels rigid...
Hi together .. many thanks for your replies and your time. Thanks @TANSL for the calculations. Thanks @philSweet for your explanations. Not...
However, unfortunately nobody replied to my core question, yet. Are there any rules or guidelines for the maximum acceptable deflection per...
Hi .. thanks for your calculation results. There are only slight deviations in our calculation results. I implemented the simplyfied method,...
Hi .. Wouldn't it make more sense to relate the maximum deflection to the aspect ratio of the panel, or to its size in general? If a 600 x 300...
Thanks TANSL for the reply. Are there any other opinions on that topic? In my case I am talking about a 8 m plywood sailboat with an open...
Hello everyone, I'm currently working on the design of a cockpit floor and need some advice on the structural requirements. Sure, the floor is...
Hi together .. yes, this is again about Lead and the balance of sailing boats. Looking at the new First 30 and First 36 from Beneteau it’s...
Hi @philSweet ... thanks for the constructive reply and information. The hull is constructed as multi-buckling frame (is it called like that?),...
@Hiro Chen what is the actual purpose of your question? Is it a general conceptual thing or related to a specific design? And I don't get the...
I don't know what you're trying to tell me with that, but I believe it is no longer important now.
Hi .. a bunkering vessel or barge supplies fuel to other vessels in port or at sea. This is the normal way how ships are refuled, which is...
Hi .. thanks for the explanation @Rumars . Thats true. But the question was not about scantling.
Hi .. there are also some sailing boats using more or less the same concept. Checkout the following: Seascape 27 Saphire 27 Reacher 780 Best...
Hi .. these are the information I was looking for, thanks. This is a good hint, thanks. I'll do so. Good suggestion, but before I potentially...
Hi .. Actually, for this type of boat, a 6 mm anchor chain would suffice, weighing approximately 0.8 kg/m. The total outer surface area,...
But since the glass fiber coating is mainly intended to make the surface more resistant to external influences and not necessarily to contribute...
Hi together .. thanks for your replies sofar. I am currently designing the boat, so it is a one-off design. The build phase is planned to be...
Hi everyone, I am currently working on a weight estimate for a sailboat using the plywood stitch-and-glue method. LOA: 8 m BOA: 2.54 m...
