Hi
You need to be a member of the different groups, case you are you can enter the "Foto's" section where you find a number of foto's of build boats. These count the Lofoten dinghie the Arendal types the Holmsby type and various other small real wooden boats build while develobing the software used. A few of the designs are build and while refining the software at the danish states workshops for arts and crafts in copenhagen. |
Per,
I have joined several of your groups. I see a number of renderings, and a small number of pretty boat photos, apparently of "traditional" rather than honeycomb construction. But I am unable to find groups called "Lofoten-dinghie" or "Arandal". Please provide specific links to any relevant photos. It would be helpful if you would provide a bit of narrative to accompany each photo, on the design process, lofting/layout, materials and techniques (and sailing/handling characteristics, if the boat has been launched).

OK Per, I've looked at all the links you've cited. Together with your
earlier postings, I think these links make it clear that you are not to be taken seriously. To save others the trouble, I've provided a summary of what I found: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Cyber-...foten-dinghie/ Shows a number of CAD-type renderings, and photos of a very pretty completed small wooden boat, of what appears to be traditional lapstrake construction. No info on materials, construction technique, lofting/layout, or performance. No discussion activity on this group. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Cyber-Boat-boatplans/ Many CAD type renderings. A few compressed "dwg" files. No photos. No discussion activity or narrative in this site. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CyberBoat/ A few CAD type renderings. A few large compressed "dwg" files. No photos. No discussion activity or narrative in this site. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Cyber-...ngboat-5meter/ Shop photos of construction of a lapstrake skiff, apparently built INSIDE a plywood mould. One photo of a completed boat under sail. I assume this is your "proof-of-concept", but I do not see the connection with a honeycomb construction technique. http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group...ase.yahoo.com/ Also lots of CAD graphics. No discussion or commentary. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tsunami-Longboat/ A few CAD type renderings. One "wrl" file. No photos. Minimal discussion activity, no narrative in this site. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cyber-boat-partners/ Access to this site denied. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/3D-Honeycomb-open/ A number of CAD renderings, mostly architectural. Nothing marine related. No photos. No current discussion, no narrative. |
Hi
And ??? Then what are you just bored ,would it mean any difference if the groups carry any other thing. True there are a number of 3D CAD drawings, prove that there are better design tools than what you get for free, if you know anything about CAD if you can maneage to order a full-size plot, you also find the exact plans among the CAD files. And yes among the foto's there are documentation while these show the build boats, where your interest is to cheat and lie by posting that I never build any of these boats, all you prove by your calcus is that you are the cheat , your interest is not boatsbuilding. |
Looking at the atkins plans i thaught id just give a liitle more info
on what i want. I like these two plans the Calypso and the walter piel. I dont care much about flat vs v just want it big enough to carry 6 people. Want it to be powered well enough to travel around 20 knots. Want it to be able to withstand a lightly choppy day in the bay/ gulf (West Coast of florida/st petersburg) it would be cool if it was a minimal cost type of thing but as far as looks and stuff not so rigid. Flatback canoe that would fit all those descriptions would be fine. If anyone could help me narrow down my search to specific areas ie Dory ect that would help. if anyone can figure out where i can get some plans for a boat that i might be interested in it would be all the better. I also have another question. If i find a boat i like but it is only say 14 feet long and i want it 20 and the sides only sit 1 foot above waterline and i want it like 3 feet above waterline could i make it fit those demensions and it still work or no? also i have an older book that discusses how to build small wooden boats and it says to use oakum and coal tar? what are each of these and how do they work? thx |
Hi
Now there are the difference between old and new technology --- if you talk about a Cyber-Boat you can scale it all directions all you want, but you need to scale it "equal" that mean double length double hight double wide , if you want it out of equal scale you would need to ask the designer to make the calculations as doing that make foults in the unfolded panels. Doing the same with tradisional drafting methods is a hell of a job even you scale equal, simply all drawings need to be redrawn where things like stability with a 3D drawing, is a matter of "asking" what the stability curve now fit. I could ansver your question about tar and oakum as I acturly master the art of caulking the old fasion way , but please forget about it you will not need it true it is an interesting issue but only for real oldtimers , -- you don't want to listen to the story if you don't want someone spitting tobacco all the time. |
Hi
Sorry you asked and you will get a short ansver without the fumes of grog ; The oakum are forced in loops between the planks so it stuff the gab from side to side not bottom up , for that you need 15 different types of caulking iron and made right the caulking can not be pulled out, --- it easily can if an amature done the job one that don't have the feel only heard about it, the tar is there not to make anything water tight, only to keep the caulking in place. Caulking is realy an art a great skill , you would know that in a wooden boat. |
I'm sorry, I must have missed it. Which photo is of a boat built using the
honeycomb construction technique? Be specific, please, as I am not very smart, or good at following directions. wrote And ???
