fastest home build method

I'm not picking on you and I didn't look up the noted build. My apologies.

 

Accepted.

 

Simple multihulls can be built of ply without any framing and, surprisingly, without glass laminate. Just glue the plates together with epoxy+cotton fiber.

I was able to assemble (after 2 weeks of preparation) a 5m proa in 2 days during the festival in Szczecin. She is sailing since 2008, sailed many times along the Baltic coast.

The same technology can be even faster with other materials. In 2010, another proa was built of PVC foam plates, glued with special glue. Later I discovered, that ordinary hot glue can be used instead. The boat sailed 2 seasons, then she was destroyed in accident on the land.

However, PVC foam is not a good material. A friend of mine tested ABS plates with better results. Welded HDPE plates should work as well.

ps. there is also the Titicaca lake technology of reed boats (see the last photo )

 

Nobody has mentioned 3d printing.

Lol!

 

Paper Mache is also an option, spraycrete, truck bed liner as well as a host of others, but practical considerations should be maintained.

 

This is me in Wales competing on a cardboard canoe going through rapids. I did the course twice. It took me about 1.5 hours to build

 

Why are you going in the opposite direction, against the tide?

 

I'm going down rapids. There are no tides in the river.

 

You're right. Is this more correct: why you paddle against the water flow?. Any logical answer, please?. Thanks.

 

Fast and cheap

Take a tarp, put on a variety of shrubs and twigs, fold and roll up the canvas, add some duct tape at critical points to keep the shape. Quickly an easily ...

Today I learned that water flows uphill in Wales.

 

One of the two, presumably, is going against waters flow. Who won?

 

Actually, hundreds of ferro boats were built using chicken mesh, 1/2"x 22ga galvanized chicken mesh is what was used for all the boats by Richard Hartley and many other designers.

 

Somebody needs to go out and get in the water more often. He should learn how to recognize standing waves.
