Adding positive floatation to a 46' boat
DSK wrote (in another thread): Actually, I think it would be a good project to add positive flotation to any cruising boat that ventures out into big water. Some care should be taken with the volume distribution , so that stability is mainatained, as well as ensuring sufficient volume. You could utilize the interior angles & odd nooks so as to not lose too much stowage. How do I figure out how many cubic feet of foam I need to add to a 46' Tayana Pilot without filling it with water ? Hull: Fiberglass Displacement: 34,500 lbs Ballast: 11,000 lbs For more details see http://www.tayanayachts.com.tw/V460.htm and http://tayana46.tripod.com It has a watertight bulkhead in the bow and a large storeroom (lazarette) in the stern. Do you think it would be enough to just put the floatation blocks in these areas ? |
