Posted on December 23rd,2009One of the aspects to designing and building my own boat is the noodling on very specific problems –how would X work,how do I need to construct Y,how big does Z need to be,etc. To think through these issues I have done some mini-lofting –full-sized drawings of pieces of the frame. I thought I’d share some of these drawings so you can see what is difficult to tell in my lousy reproductions.
I had a rough idea of how to do the inwale / outwale construction from my reading,but I had to think through a number of details when it came to the two laminated frames that are the key structural elements amidships.
Somewhat less complicated,but still worth some thought,was the keel,especially for the same frames and v.v. the floorboards.
Finally,I worked a bit on the breasthook and how the outwale will meet it and the stem.
Good fun.
