canoe

Hey everyone, I am a newbie here and have been dreaming up a project that is beyond my VERY limited experience. I inherited two, heavy fiberglass canoes that my father purchased at Costco. To accommodate my family of 7, I linked them to create a makeshift multi-hull boat. (Here's a photo of my...

Hello fellow sailboat enthusiasts. I am going to document my Wa'apa sailing canoe build here to share my progress and get good advice from you all along the way. I have already posted several questions on this forum so thank you for everything. I am building the 16' tacking plan designed by...

Hello, I am currently trying to export this canoe design I have from delftship into Solidworks for a project. However, I only have the free version of delftship and I don't think it'll let me save it in the correct file type. I believe I need a STEP or IGES file. Would anyone be willing to use...

Hello all! Recently I've been getting into boat design and attempting to learn the softwares. Currently, I'm attempting to create a canoe that balances its straightline speed and its maneuverability. The canoe currently has a teardrop shape with a shallow arch keel that becomes shallower towards...

Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to design/draw something similar to an H20 Slingshot 222 or a Jensen V1 Racer to be built in cedar strip? I am aware of the USCA design "Tandem Ashes Quick" offered by Trevor (Ashes Stillwater Boats) but I am looking for something more "racy", if you...

Yep I used the pink stuff. Lol My first build I was confident and really happy with. After lots of reading about the xps foam core and finding its uses in surfboards aplenty, I felt if kept indoors and made with some care in bracing with cedar furring strips it would work well. It works great...

I propose you an upgraded version 3.0 of Gene-Hull Canoe ( / the previous version 2.4), a spreadsheet application dedicated to an early stage project of a small double-ended boat. This new version can addressed a Canoe style, a Peapod style or a Pointu style (Mediterranean traditional boat), ...

Hello, i m new on this forum. I m from France, I have build a stripper canoe (freedom 17’, from the canoebuild book). Freedom 17’ Wood species : fir (buy to the local roofer) strip : 20mm*6,5mm, bead & cove Inner and outer stem inner keel 20mm*20mm deck in fir glass fabric and epoxy lamination...

hello, nice to meet you all. i have bumped into thus forum many times while exploring avenues to get on the water. i felt the name of this forum made it possibly the most appropriate place to request information about obscure ideas. in pursuit of a higher horsepower, more foul-weather capable...

Do I need to add buttock lines(profile view) and water lines(half breadth view) to generate table of offsets in the scale down drawing.(1/8th) Do I have to scale up to obtain table of offsets for the full size lofting. For example, assume a 24 foot trimaran hull (round bilge) drawn in 1/8th...

For Oughtred designed 12 ft. canoe Wee Rob, home building jog, with designers construction guide. This type of boat is a paddling/sailing canoe, with variable length, optional rig balanced lug with lee board. Traditional looks goes back to 1890's era MacGregor designs, for a simple and light...

Kia Ora everyone, I am an engineering student and for my final year project I have decided to base my project around designing and hopefully making a Waka Ama (Outrigger Canoe). I've been raised in the sport of Waka Ama but I have no experience in the design and creation of one. I want to...

Picked up a free canoe on the side of the road today. It's 12 ft, wooden, but no ribs(?) The finish is worn on the outside and I can see canvas in places, which looks good, although a few places it looks bubbled or lifted off the wood beneath. There was a wood rail on the bottom down the...

researching design for a really efficient flat water sup racing hull. Obviously it's going to be compromised due-to the 14' Length standard. First question comes to mind, what is the minimal Length to Beam ratio needed so wave drag isn't a major factor? Is it realistic given the limitations?

Please find attached a new upgraded/updated version 2,4 of the Gene-Hull VE Canoe spreadsheet application dedicated to the generation of hull for a Canoe project, including in particular : - a new formulation of the V and E sections, allowing now a tumblehome shape quite common for a Canoe...

I have inherited my family's canoe and figure it is time to try to refinish it. It has been sitting in the backyard for a number of years, but began to see some use in the last few years. I figure it is time to try to bring it back to how I remember it as a child. I have been looking at YouTube...

Been studying canoe designs lately. It seems like there are only so many ways to skin the cat on a canoe design. Length, breadth, tumblehome, rocker, bow/stern shapes, decks, thwarts, seats....etc. Only so many variables and only so many permutations. Just how different from a published...

I guess maybe this is sort of off coarse but I just wanted to share an idea for a canoe I came up with about 18 years ago when I saw my son floating in the swimming pool in a barrel that had been cut in half. I originally used untreated wood ribs to hold it together but are now rotten so I am...

Lug rig is favoured option for distance events with large area on small mast. Mast can be dropped for passing under the numerous bridges in the Netherlands. During this event (Dorestad RAID) conditions were from light to very rough and choppy water. Viola kept going when larger boats were...

Started at the Boatshow a week ago two Violas are being built in parallel. The boat is extremely minimal to keep weight at 75lbs for the hull.
