I was kinda hoping to hear from Designers and Builders, not some silly
software designer who never built a boat! Just to start things right, there is nothing Honeycomb about your designs, there are only standard bulkheads and stringers. You have cleverly (stupidly) turned them at a 45 degree angle to the logical placement, making for much more time and material intensive building process leaving lot's of mis-shaped areas in the boat that need to be covered and are only good for pouring in foam. The current Stitch and Tape builders are designing and building much more modern boats than you, and with logical, useable shapes, so stop saying we build ugly boxes. Have you seen my boats, CLC, etc. We have taken the old designs and changed them drastically to fit today's environment and boating needs. For instance, take my "Joe". Looks enough like the old D4 or Sabot, but look closer there is a lot of difference. The aforementioned boats were developed long ago, for sail and oars. I have redesigned mine completely to take advantage of small engines which are much more popular now than back then. There are those that are building Driftboats, Whitehalls, Wherry's and other beautiful, round boats of S+T, you are just blind to them because of your personal narrow-mindedness. You say we are the closed minded ones but in reality, almost every one of us (your detractors) have tried to give you the benefit of the doubt in the past. Each until you started tearing us down for asking questions, most of which, to this day, remain unanswered. Everyone who watches this group knows well how much you hate Bolger boats and my type of operation... But in 30 seconds, last year, in the middle of the night, while sleeping, Bolger designs sparked more boat builders into their first boat then you have in your entire lifetime! Per, you are a bitter man who shot his wad and failed miserably, understandably so. You took some pretty logical construction methods (stringers and bulkheads) and turned them to a 45 degree angle to a definite fore and aft structure. Personally, I look at your scam as Intellectually lazy, and as I noted before, impractical from any real boat building point of view. Then when we tried to make suggestions, in a constructive manner, you attack us as a group, call us stupid, lazy, unsafe, etc. Your plans from what I have seen, don't even address the simple fact of flotation, and you consider yourself a responsible designer? Anyone can draw lines on a computer, even put in a fancy "right angle" (nothing honeycomb about it) texture, but do you know what the joint is going to look like that supports the helm, what material, what adhesive or fastener. How the hell is someone supposed to build a boat from a cartoon? My suggestion is that you go back to software development. Although your designs from my point of view are just silly and useless, they do look pretty cool. Maybe you should try to sell your software to artists, TV commercial producers, or even childerns toy makers. Scotty, from SmallBoats.com |
