did the 14m myself

and satisfied ,

 

superstructure next

 

Hull first in Maxsurf?

 

nope I struggle with maxsurf, so modified a double chine sailboat I had in rhino and those lines came from a model I drew in freeship, abt 23 yrs back, max give me plate developments from Workshop with frame lines on, I then take that back into rhino and do the plate offsets

 

Remember to also carry out an ongoing weights estimate as you progress your design, so that you know that you will have enough buoyancy to support the designed displacement, and that she will trim level.

 

yes sir, I will weigh every piece
I know I will need maybe 5000kg lead
3000l fuel
2000 water

 

if you can read rhino, I will send the file

 

modelling the superstructure is a challenge, modern or more oldish

 

sorta sorting it, lots volume , the will be a 12 inch sill cockpit to salon

 

does this look dated

 

It appears that the most significant weights are positioned towards the stern. If that were the case, one might wonder why the volume (shapes) of the stern body is reduced.

 

That's reactive not proactive.
A weight estimate must be done before anything is cut or made....you must prove the it'll float, float up right and on the draft you want, before you do anything.

Weighing items as you go - it's too late.

 

+2 re TANSL's and Ad Hoc's comments above.

Ummm yes, I think so - the square door and windows do the side profile no favours.
I am wondering if she might look better with a not-too-large flying bridge on top?
This might help to make the wheelhouse look less 'boxy'?

 

i doubt it, i have built more vessels than you have had hot dinners
i know all of the weights, date lcf lcb plus it is prelim BTW I would rather not read your comments here, thank you

 

ok yes will redo glass, thanks
