Hi Per! Good to have you back - Last time we chatted, I made a couple
suggestions; others have had similar comments: First, if you will be posting in English, PLEASE find a good English-language spell-check. (Your credibility will double immediately ;-) Second, you have proposed some interesting structural systems, which _could_ revolutionize boat construction. And you repeatedly assert that your designs and systems do a good job of merging tradition and technology. But you provide no - zero - evidence, even anecdotal, to back up your claims. PLEASE build one of your boats, to prove your critics wrong. Just show them that you are right, and the skeptics are wrong. Boatbuilders are a conservative lot, with good reason. They tend to make incremental changes to designs and techniques. But if you build a better boat - prettier, more seaworthy, stronger, faster, or even cheaper - you will find they will start paying attention. Talk is cheap... Sal's Dad wrote in message ups.com... Hi ", but I am not very fond of the interior and the single-chine ("cigar-box") design. But ofcourse this eases the building. " Wrong it do not ease the building all it do is that you build the boat as how you build a house, ------ there are a difference in boats building and house building ,ask a carpenter to build a boat and you end up with the cigar box aproach. Acturly there are much more trouble forcing the stiff sheets to form round shapes , to do that you use boatbuilding technikes not carpenter technikes that's the whole trouble. No sorry the trouble is that you Romans given up the beauty and the skills, you don't want splendid craftmanship made better with visionary high-tech you think that becaurse your grandfather once made a cheap boxboat from scrap and leftover , that _this_ is boatsbuilding ; it don't look as somthing to place on the lawn so it is to difficult and then we scrap the fine old crafts and don't give it a chance to profit from computers. Realy -------- do anyone want to know what is acturly wrong with these free software programs, no . Now it seem that the cheapest and easyest, the free 15 year old software is to difficult that acturly cigar box boats are not fun ,well you asked for it didn't you Romans. Is there just one single honest craftman around one that would feel love for the beauty and visions in tradisional crafts made better with high-tech no, it is not lame enough the bottom are not flat enough .
