Cool stuff, swap ya this http://www.gizmag.com/caravisio-camper-concept/28978/pictures#1
Thanks, so one is no use or two is much better, I mean even with an outboard you can get manoeuvrability and so I've been told dropping one on the...
Wow sounds ambitious, I'm looking at the Voith azimuth system. I suppose a prop shaft with the motor in board might be safer all round if it gets...
Thanks Jeremy, I think I'll do the same on the grounds of it being a wide beam as well, then I don't have to have a steel hull. I suppose next...
I bet people in yachts must be worried about their lovely hulls scraping into a little wall or bridge or a snub nosed narrowboat. I suppose some...
Great thanks for the tips I'll read up on that. I was just designing a diaphragm build up where the styrofoam is used as impact resistance and...
The HD kingspan is polystyrene based and has a foil skin that I imagine would adhere quite well to epoxy. Shear is an issue, however I have heard...
Azimuth thrusters have been around since the 60's used on The Queen Mary in case anyone is interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth_thruster
I'm getting the impression that sailors are crashing into walls and other boats a lot so you need to make it as reinforced as possible in case you...
I think it's a bit beyond the scope here to be honest but thanks. Uretha core or polyurethane has been used in sandwich construction as core as...
The strength of the composite material is dependent largely on two factors: The outer skins: If the sandwich is supported on both sides, and then...
They have 30 products and I was thinking of using the one with high compression strength and with closed cell in case it wasn't fit for the...
Well it gives me an insulated core and the stiffness of a sandwich member, it has massive strength gains for weight. I'm building it as Monocoque...
Yeah will do thanks
Yeah same pontoon boat, as you say not particularly difficult. If I'm designing I don't want to be dropping other motors in, I want the main drive...
