Gk,
What you want to do is illegal. The design is not public property. Buying
a license to build is the honest correct method.

I understand your point, but if a builder is building from a set or study
plans, they have to do so without any structual detail and is simply
building a boat that looks similiar. My piont really.... The OP wouldn't
end up with a Bruce Roberts, just a boat that looked similar, how diffent
would it need to be before the builder could claim it was his own design?



If you think it's ok to steal someone's work, then you are probably too
stupid to design the structural detail properly.

Why do you asume I think it's ok to steal someones work, perhaps your to
stupid to read and comprehend


Criminals are, generally, deficient in their ability to reason, somehow.
With no respect for others as a result of faulty social thinking, they
demonstrate an inability to think correctly in other areas.

This usually has to do with some shortcoming in the assemblage of certain
other of their sentient organs. The only true salvation for these types is
for them to realize their imperfection, and ask for inspiration to mend
their ways. The Golden rule is all the guidance a reasonable person
needs.

that would be your golden rule I guess, would you like to share it ?

Would you want your life's work stolen and abused, modified and destroyed,
capitalized for profit, adulterated from a good design to one that kills,
using your once respected name?

The lines of a vessel are a compromise in engineering intended to balance
strength, efficiency, capacity, durability, and looks. The equation is not
a simple one.

Would you want to wear a cheap, stolen design knock off life jacket, from
inferior cheap materials using inferior cheap manufacture, to save a few
bucks while you top dance for the sharks? How would you feel if it was
your name stamped on such a Knakawf?

If you really want to design a decent boat yourself, you need to take a
bunch of courses in marine engineering.

You will have to pay for those courses too, purchasing the knowlege for
yourself from it's developers, unless you can reason it all out properly
yourself. Stealing a "look" which you will undoubtedly want to sell as the
original some day,

did I say that ?...well never mind Terry, best not let the facts stand in
the way of a good rant ay..

sooner than later, if quality has to do with it, is shameful, a sin and a
crime.

So just for the record....
how different does a design need to be before the builder can claim it as
their own design, but it if you prefer to reply to some other question you
feel better fits your intellect, feel free
