Sea Sled madness. It’s in my brain.

OK, so these frames are to be part of the finished boat ? Surely not, there will be no room inside it ?

 

Perhaps it will be a "deck" boat with all personnel and cargo carried on the deck.

 

I wouldn't be part of that, pushing the COG unnecessarily high

 

They are templates for the shape.

 

Let's see what he says.

 

So moving sternward, from the ram which I haven’t formed yet, there’s B1 at 34”. At that point the hull rises at about 45deg fore and aft, and 25deg port/starboard so the space is unusable. It’s a watertight crash bulkhead. Small holes for glassing the underside of the deck. Solid plywood for now. Cuts later.
Then Bulkhead 2 at 53”. It’s also solid for now. A cutout 6’ long and 19” deep. That area is in the forward cockpit/open seating area, and the notch forms the seat of the bench. B1 makes the backrest. Well, proper sloped seating will be added. Those are the structure.
At 96” is B3. It’s the forward wall of the enclosed accommodation. Also a full bulkhead, with a cutout for the weatherproof entry... and on examination of the picture, I made that wrong. Sill is 12” too high.
Then 2 heavy ring frames, only 1 of which is built.
Then another full bulkhead with a cutout for another weatherproof door, at 264”. Then the transom, with its huge cutout for the outboard well.

He, who builds boats, good thing you spotted that 12" error now!

 

Yes. Not pleased I made it, but fixable now.

So, 6’4” headroom from B3 to transom. I wanted less, but girlfriend wanted full standing headroom (for her. That’s not enough for me.), and she controls half the money and all the sex, so yeah. I decided that I wanted that much headroom too.

 

6' 4" NICE!
Sadly, there is nothing worse than almost enough headroom!

 

I’m 6’4” in my socks. Doing construction since 1985, I’ve hit my head so many times I’ve had about 50 stitches. At this point it’s like: “Holy crap John! You just cracked your head on that beam! Are you okay?”
Me: “Is that was that was? I heard a sound, but I though you’d dropped your skilsaw again.”

 

OK so they are frames that will be reduced later ?

 

B1 and B2 are in the bow, where there's no space anyway. Small hatches for building access. Probably glassed over. Big locker between B1 and B2.

B3 is the front of interior accommodation. Door in the center. B4 and B5 are ring frames. B6 is the end of interior accommodation. A door in the center.
B3 will have hatches cut on either side, outboard, for pipe births, or storage.

 

Sounds like a plan.
But did you mean a big locker between B2 and B3,
or is it deck only access to the "Big locker between B1 and B2."

Any deck hatches between B1 and B2?

How's your 12" error correction working out?

 

I'm going to have to do more drawings. I'd say I wish people could see what I'm imagining, but no.

 

Everyone loves a drawing...easier to comment upon
