Farrah belle similar boat?

There is this guy called the garage engineer, he made a small dingy called the farrah belle, and I was wondering if there were plans for something similar in size but larger with a lower bow that curves down more. Pardon me im new to this.

I want to look for something like this but without the cooler.

 

You might do a search for vee bottom plywood skiff plans of the length you want and see what results you get. Something with a lower bow: Solo Micro Skiff Plans - Stitch and Glue - Flats River Skiff 12 - Salt Boatworks https://saltboatworks.com/product/flats-river-skiff-12/

 

Is there something like this

But a little wider, with taller side panels? I want something small for two people like this basically

 

Are you just looking for a sleeker profile, or is there some other reason for less freeboard in the bow?
Depending on how and where you plan to use the boat, it may be best to stick with the original design.
Lowering the sheer in the bow can mean a wet ride.
The bow looses some weight but also will have less reserve buoyancy when stuffing into a wave or heavily loaded.
“Garage Engineer” doesn’t sound too encouraging as for real thought out design quality, more likely someone who likes to see how tight they can bend plywood!

 

Lol well what I meant was if I raise the bow upward and make it taller and also make the transom larger on a flats river skiff that would probably be a good boat, because it would be wider and have a taller side. Which seemed like it would keep out the water. I was looking for a v bottom as from what I understand it's better for stability. The garage one is something I wanted to build in order to learn more about woodworking and how to do it. I'm not sure I can make the flats river skiff.

 

Also I still can't figure out how to print a .hul file out at the correct size to act as a template when taped together.

 

J, Have you tried something like this?

file>save create


check expansions and dxf, check export path name, save


then read the dxf files into QCAD or another 2d software that has better controls at printing
bottom is 1:1, top middle is scaled at 1 foot=1 inch plotted and would print on (2) pieces of letter-sized paper

 

Is that compatible with Linux?(Ubuntu)

 

How do I use regular printer paper with qcad and a laser printer to print it out and tape it together? I can get it lined up right with a ruler and exacto knife and put it into a piece of wood and cut it out? I used VMware to run hulls32.exe and made a dxf file of this sweet Portuguese dinghy I actually kinda wanted to make in the first place. Not sure what to do from here lol

 

I don't think Carlson Hull Designer is Ubuntu compatible, QCAD has some Linux distributions.

When I am trying to force a big part onto small paper in CAD, I draw a rectangle 7.5" x 10" and copy it into a grid over the data. Then I make plots, one at a time, using the grid corner as the window and make sure scale is 1:1.
Sometimes is helps to number the sheets and/or draw a secondary straight line through several sheets to line up while assembling them.
I use the glass patio door on my house as a light table and use clear tape to assemble then cut them out with a good scissors.

Here is the transom for the Portuguese dinghy at Hannu's Boatyard (have you seen that?), if it were to be printed on letter-size paper:



PS Does the Hulls32 software allow you to print out a list of points that can be used to hand-loft the curves of the panels?

PPS I guess hulls32.exe is the Carlson program, my bad. It may be worth looking into lofting the panels with points versus plotting on many(!) sheets of paper.

 

Hey so I got BigPrint to try to do just that. Horrible idea. It was like 7" off total after taping frekin 78 pages together ‍ lol. I'm gonna just measure it out old school. I do need to know where I can get a cheap small sail for it though. I'm having trouble find a 7.5' one I think that's appropriate? ‍

 

Also I used a virtual machine to load it up and it works with that ‍

 

Before you waste a stack of printing paper find a more suitable design. All Boat Plans https://www.woodenboatstore.com/collections/all-boat-plans
See my post on your other thread.
Plans are the last place to be cheap. Been there, done that.

 

Well I wanted a simple dinghy so I'll probably make this, but I also do want a sailing dinghy or something like the scamp. I just havent gotten to making a complicated ship yet I wanted to try for something I was like 100% sure I had the skill to do first. I can probably hide an electric jet pump motor on it. I doubt their looking underwater somehow. Or just row lol.
