The small section would go in first with the bow painter on it, then tie it off on the stern of the big boat. Next you'd launch the big section with a stern line on it. Next step would be to get into the big section, line it up with the small one and bolt them together. It would be difficult in windy weather but we try to avoid that even now. The important thing is to take lots of pictures and share them with us! You know I'd do that. I'm beginning to have my doubts about the feasability of the "stretch" modification however. Some good points have been raised about the stresses at the attachment point joining the two halves. Growing the boat larger would only make that worse, especially with an outboard big enough to reach planing speeds. The design was intended as a small rowing and sailing dinghy and that is probably where it should stay. I'm thinking that one of Scott's Brockway Skiffs could probably be built as a two piece boat that would be more suitable for a big outboard if the right attachment method could be found. It would be heavy though unless built with high tech materials. http://www.yaimkool.com/ How do you know who owns or does not own a boat? He doesn't. |
