    Forgot to mention that at interior chine location a 3-4" fabric and epoxy cove would be used to adequately assist securing hull sides to bottom.

    Also how much would it structurally help to add a similar cove to exterior intersection of keel and hull bottom?

    Peace.

    Send me some of your Epoxy! It is dirt cheap!!!

    And let me have some 100 of these masts too.

    The 15hp engine I would buy 500 per month to start with, later that will increase.

    How dumb must one be to cheat himself ? ? ?

    Have you done your home lessons today?
    Are you already allowed to watch TV after 10pm?


    unbelievable.......

    It never ceases to astound me the number of people who insist on reinventing the wheel and making it other than round. Boats have been around for more than 50,000, that's fifty thousand years, and some things have been figured out.

    Theres extra cost not mentioned yet. Most likely will go over the $12,000.00 figure, but hope not by much.

    Smaller boats, especially Bolger boats are built in similar manner and they have worked successfully. Just scaling up a bit. You guys still havent given any reasons the methods described will not work nor answered any questions raised. Hope theres some boat builders out there with higher intelligence.

    The questions have been answered in the last 15 pages to the best of our knowledge but there has been nobody home on your end to receive them. Hence the sarcasim.

    We have been telling you why it won't work and you have been telling us why it will so, go build it.

    Pierre,

    Jubilee will work, design is not without proven predeccesors.

    If you dont think the overall idea of Jubilee will work that is fine and understandable. OTOH most questions asked were about certain methods that might work on Jubilee or other designs as well, you can respond with ideas about why it would work or not. I take this seriously and dont want to keep responding to the buffonery. Sorry if at times my statements were wrong, I dont know everything and its the reason for asking questions.

    Peace.

    Why bother with both ply and concrete for the hull bottom?
    Use steel and bolt the ply sides to it.
    An idea worth what you're paying for it. :)

    No,

    I am the most intelligent one can find on earth.:cool:

    And you are too stubborn in your premature attempt to reinvent the wheel, to grasp that you would have had all the advice possible, when you would not have told the professionals that you know a lot more than they do!

    You still are preaching your Jubilee junk is a good and proven boat, but you want to screw it up completely by resizing it to a idiotic format.

    GO build you sampan, but donĀ“t expect we hold our breath awaiting the result.

    Jubilee is NOT a proven design, none have been built. While your direction is a good one, your execution of the idea is against good design practices. Small differences in lines that move bouyance can make a huge difference in overall stability. You can draw what you think will work but in the absense of good practice, the results are apt to be a disaster.

    You can build cheap but don't build stupid.

    WHEN you are willing to listen instead of lecture, you are likely to get answers you like.
