According to AutoCAD, the boat fits as long as I stop building after the
V-berth goes in. At that point, I need to move the boat to a shelter or
larger shop. A buddy of mine has some barns on his grass farm. Another guy
has a large shop that could accommodate 2 or 3 boats like this. Both have
said I could use them ...but I'd rather avoid it if I can. Might build a
bow-roof shelter next to Garage #3. I have 14' between structure and fence
line there, and can go 40' deep if I need to (only need 28' plus or minus).
I find that figuring out the finer details as you go works best ..."Just do
it!" (but with just a little forethought so you know if there will be a
solution to the various challenges along the way.)

Brian,
Do like that boat ... that's some job you're doing, given the space
problem!

I figured this erudite group could point me in the correct
direction.
I've been
cruising thru a variety of naval research sites, but was wondering
what you
designer-types might think.

Where do you see hull design - shapes, materials, coatings,
propulsion, etc. - going in the near - and not so near - future?


Thanks

Well, I think they'll be working alot more IR/Radar-defeating surfaces
into
construction, stealth technologies, crew-automation...

I see afew multihulls on the design table, lots of efforts to reduce
ship/crew size, increase efficiency, defenses seem to be focusing
towards
anti-missile lately. If you'll notice, alot more design-process
proposals
are coming out for smaller naval vessels, with less focus on the
larger
carrier vessels. The Aircraft Carrier of today doesn't look much
different
than it did in WW2-era. Not so for the destroyer or frigate of
today's
Navy.
