Illustration help, please...

I posted this down in the Open Discussion department, but thought that repeating it here wouldn't be a bad idea...

Hi, folks; long time, no posts. I've been pretty busy with my teaching assignments at the Nova Scotia Community College. Which brings me to my request...

I have to give a lecture to my students outlining the rudimentary structure of a typical FRP boat (sail or power, or both). I am having a difficult time finding an illustration of this. Can anybody help me?

The students are not boaters or boatbuilders - they are workers getting training in how to work with GRP, carbon fiber, Kevlar, etc., so blueprints of boats probably won't really get the idea across unless they are exceptionally clear. What I was sort of hoping for was the FRP equivalent of those lovely drawings that Sam Manning did as a poster for WoodenBoat that showed, in three stages and elevated three-quarter perspective, the labelled components of a wooden boat. I don't have time to create the illustration in Rhino or somesuch program, so am looking for an illustration that I can import to a program like PhotoShop and add labels and arrows.

So... Anybody got, or know of, a perspective illustration of a boat hull with the deck & interior removed, showing stringers, engine beds, bulkheads, etc. that I can use in my classroom to show students what parts are what?

Thanks for your time & efforts on behalf of my students in the Composites Fabricator Technican Program.

I remember that poster, but can't find it now.
So I googled for images like "Boat Parts", "Construction drawings" etc.
Here are three examples.

You should probably ask before you use drawings, or maybe it's OK if you credit the designer/owner.

 

Thanks for your quick replies, Raggi.

I will absolutely get permission to use any illustrations prior to use if possible; and will credit sources. NSCC has very clear policy on intellectual property rights, and I am a strong believer personally, as well.

 

I hope you find something useful, there are so many images...
For example,
http://images.google.no/images?q=construction drawings boat wood&imgsz=xxlarge
returns 3500 hits of large images, all sizes is 145.000 hits...

 

This was helpful in another thread, dwg of frp hull showing internals:

Hope it helps.

 

have some grey A1 blueprints with boat lamination techniques but they dont fit the scanner.
more wood than grp boat basics attached

 

Informative pictures,
I missed the grp part in question, so focused on wood

 

Yipster wins the prize. Those will do the job wonderfully - thank you.
To whom do I give attribution?
Can I distribute printed copies to my 8 students as lecture notes?

 

pics come from my my documents3 map on HD and copied them from the net years ago as: frombow.jpg, from_stern.jpg and fromlines.jpg
cant find them back on the net tho and i asume using them in the same educational spirit there shouldnt be a problem
