.... the elusive Wayne B up

After looking at the design again for a while trying figure out how to
set the skegs so they would work, not cut in turning, and not look ugly,
not get sucked into muddy beaches etc... I decided to eliminate the flat
trailing ends of the lifting strakes and make them act more like skegs
for linear stability... Here is "Tri Hull Version 3"!

This is faired and ready to go hopefully no more major changes...

Hadn't realized that I was elusive. :-)

The plans look good to me but of course I don't have to build it.
There's one comment that's not clear to me: "Whaler Clone Version 3
is a 7 plank hull." Perhaps in error, I had assumed it was going to
be stitch and glue construction with plywood panels. To me a plank
hull is something other than that but possibly my understanding is
incorrect.

It's been a while so my terminology is rusty, plus I am copying versions
of these posts to laymans forums and need to simplify at times but
thanks for asking so I can clear up my understanding, and possibly be
corrected

Anyway, I meant 7 panel or 7 "strake" hull I think is the term.. There
are two bottom panels then five more panels and I include the two water
shedding strakes, and the sheer strake in that count. Even the small
sliver shaped strakes are counted...

If I am correct and remember correctly you count the bottom in a vee
hull as two strakes and then count up one side...

It will be a combination of Stitch and Glue and tack and tape. The
outside angles more than 180 will be nailed and those under 180 will be
stitch and tape... Most of my designs incorporate several different
joining methods, I am not loyal to any of them Stitch and tape is the
most expensive, but outside seams need to be taped anyway to protect the
edges....
