If you download the free hull design program frm www.carlsondesign.com I
think thre is a Sunfish hull example there. Sorry, can't remember for sure. You can use the program ot modify the hull with the mouse pointer on your computer and it will calculate some relevant numbers. Then you can use the program to plot the panels on sheets of plywood, cut them out, and assemble. Brian Vickers ) writes: As a novice boatbuilder, I would like to take on a somewhat different project. I would like to build a wooden craft as an almost carbon copy of the popular Sunfish because of it's easy of opperation and performance for a boat of that size. To make up for the likly increase in weight, I thought it might be beneficial to increase the draft and thus the displacement. However, I do not know where to begin and would like some advice from someone more knowledgeable about boatbuilding than myself. Thank you very much, Brian Vickers. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-freenet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
