I am a recreational philosopher that is interested in boat design. I
am fairly confident in my ideas for new concepts in boat design. I
tried to build a 16 foot skiff while in high school. I liked the
design because it had a high free-board for a small motor boat. I was
an educational project that was successful. I even motored out into
San Fransisco Bay using its lawn mower engine. I bought a low unit
from a marina and made a plywood block to mount it on the stern. It
did have an issue with proper propeller sizing though.

I recently decided to practice non-profession boat design. I believe
I have some good ideas. I am going to use this group as the posting
site for my marine communications. It may have junk postings, but it
is an enduring newsgroup.

I invented a new multihull beam design that is far superior to the
current fly-by-night engineering theory. Boatdesign.net a professional
forum did not like my ideas and removed my membership.

The new multihull beam is on my blog. I am a proponent of heavy
weight multihulls because they have to be heavy. The sea is that
dangerous. The efficiency of the multihull is supposed to be the lack
of ballast to cause stability. My beam will make heavy Force 5 storm
able multihulls.

I have to design a retirement income so I am available for consulting
work. I would like a builder to start using my beam. I charge $25 an
hour.

My main presence is going to be rec.boats. The forums look erratic.
I also am working on UAV vessels. I have the ability to produce
dinghy and kyack cores for robot boats. I use the production
philosophy of making ONLY utility finish surfaces. The labor for
perfect hull finishes is expensive. I will pass on some of the cost
savings to the buyers. In general, I plan to use male molds and if
necessary have an autobody shop clean up the surface.

I anybody knows of a good robot vessel forum I would like to get the
name.

Sincerely Doug

...ok, sounds good but I went to the site and it's pretty confusing.

Sure is.
