My wife was going through some old family pictures and ran across this one with a very interesting boat in it. The photo was probably taken early to mid 50s on...
Here is a bit of information I thought might be worth passing along. I built a bow shed to build a boat in. I covered it with the nearly transparent plastic...
I have never been in favour of the shrink wrap because of the condensation problem. My boat is covered with a canvas tarp. The secret to a successful winter...
Hello all, We had a succession of bow sheds for boat projects 35 years ago. The first was about 20x16, was used for a couple of years til my Father decided to...
This is the second winter on a greenhouse I built for building a 32' boat and I have a shall quartz heater that I run on low 750W with fan. Just a little heat...
There are various products available that are used in horticultural greenhouse production to reduce seasonal light and heat levels. Mostly water based, they're...
Cute! Might even be practical in some situations: http://www.saunalahti.fi/~hvartial/dinghy44/dinghy4.htm Sincerely, Kenneth Grome Bagacay Boatworks ...
That¦s one of Hannu¦s designs. Personally, I think his one sheet Auray punt http://www.gsahv.pp.fi/ossauray/auray_u.htm is more practical. He said his Half...
Not to mention apartments and even full sized houses that have been designed in such a way that you cant get furniture into them without craning the stuff in...
Personally, I think my design for a one sheet skiff, single person dinghy to use with a larger boat is the best, but then I am biased. ;-) Hi T. Lee, I...
Actually, I had removed it from the files section, but on your request, reinstated it as OS boat.pdf . I should remove it after a few weeks, as the files...
... I once did the math, long since lost, to determine the theoretical maximum displacement of a one-sheet boat. It is not a practical boat, nor even a...
... Yup. ... Halfpea is hardly proposed for a tender, though it's amusing to imagine it on the foredeck of a Stevens Weekender. Painted green. If it had...
Thanks for putting it back up there. I'll try to make a paper model to get the 3-D look. Again thanks! ... request, reinstated it as OS boat.pdf . I should...
I know exactly what you are talking about. A dinghy is pretty much wasted space except when you need it, an awkward shape with no uses when on board....
Looking for a tender plan that is maybe a stich and glue two sheeter in the following range. Under 8'(7'6") long under 4'wide about 20" sides that can safly be...
Have a look at Crackerjack and maybe Flarebow on my friend Julian Godwins site here http://www.dinghydesign.godwinpartners.com/index.htm . Ive been in several...
One solution would be to make the roof of the cabin a dinghy. I am using a boat at the moment as the roof of a shed next to my house. ... [Non-text portions of...
... A traditional solution. As a general rule, you can do a lot more "deckspace management" under square-rig than under F&A, simply because the boom doesn't...
... Very sweet indeed! ... History is just one damn thing after another. - Winston Churchill ... __________________________________________________ Do You...
I guess if the boat is big enough and the budget will match we can do lots of cool stuff. The dinghy forward of the mast ( as JW suggested ) works well, but...
Bob I am playing around with small model boats in which the chine is formed by bending long sticks of wood. Like you I strongly suspect that advanced sharpies...
I have one, designed for windy anchorages where the fetch is too short for big waves, also designed to take beaching on the level. Though I have made provision...
Lew: For all the reasons you listed, what I mentioned will have to be designed in before the first stick of wood is cut. What I am talking about is at the...
