Well, it's clearly a trailer sailer - I don't see a problem. In the automotive world, applying good quality body filler over epoxy primers is...
The rudder on my 16' plywood dinghy was built like that. It is ridiculously weak for a boat that size. Find an 6' length of 3" x 3" steel bar and...
Yes, I was trying not to oversell that option. I just don't like stink pots hanging off cute boats. The side mount is less visually annoying and...
The transom issue is a bit tricky. If you want it so you can mount a small outboard, like a 1 cylinder 3 hp, then you want to be able to sit back...
Minor note of FreeShip. You will want to turn off hydrostatics in the layer for the rudder. Check that the reported vessel waterline does not...
Well, it is about scantlings in a way. We need very much to know what plywood you are using (species, thickness, number of veneers, and rating (BS...
@Guillermo Typo in table 8? 0.900 should be 0.090? Also table 6 - VCG doesn't look right, or I don't know where the origin is. Thanks for the...
Still on fire. The first fire/salvage tug is slated to arrive on scene today. Not sure what they can do except hose the outside down. I don't see...

Realistically, and traditionally, you just computed the B (and RM, etc.) at 2 degrees heel and that was where GM came from. In your case, given...
Weight isn't the only consideration. Transport speed and distance also factor in. Twin axles are more stable at high speeds. They help lower cg a...
... so I need to be designing a superwood chipper? That sounds fun - and loud - but mostly fun. Maybe use a pavement grinder or rotary rock...
... So basically, you want to drop the planks a little in the stern and lower the inflection point in the aft displacement curve a lot (and move...
A jon that size would weigh around 1000 pounds for just the bare hull. A cargo canoe would be about 500 pounds. Below is a link to an 18' cargo...
Maintenance on hydraulic systems can not be done on site except for the smallest systems - say 50hp or so. Above that and you need a shop just to...
Nope. I'm pretty handy with a chainsaw, and I've spent literally a year of my life running big saws on snowshoes in the middle of nowhere, and...
Stamas 390 Aegean came to mind. 390 Aegean – Stamas Yacht https://stamas.com/project/390-aegean/ There's a 370 also, but no tower. 370 Aegean –...
