Posts: 4,451 West coast of Norway | Two quickies 1: What is your philosophy on how to design the hullform for wave handling (if that is something you feel like sharing). I noticed that your modelling is all done in flat water which I assume is a good starting point for optimization. But wave action changes "everything", or?? 2: What software are you using (I assume something really expensive, and I ask not becouse I want to design a boat becouse I am curious). The Lindahl build looks really good! Much easier than our strip-plank project. Only thing I dont get is how they fit the trampoline to the hulls. | | | Re: Foam strip construction

Will unfortunately not work as well for us on our strip plank hulls + ply decks. Spending time on the computer is OK, if some surprises can be avoided. And you dont have to do all that sanding Thanks for a good reply. | | | Re: Foam strip construction

In an update on other stuff, not sure that the original round bilge design is going to make it to production anymore....as with most of the planet, the builder has money issues.
That said, I have been working (very very sporadically) on another F12 design, no builder or customer in mind, more or less for my own pleasure. This is not being offered, nor will it be available to anyone anytime soon....the attached pics are just eye candy.
Sorry to hear that. Meanwhile I just sold the big tri (see avatar) and will probably look for a new project in a few months. Keep in touch.

Posts: 255 NZ | Do you have closer view of the finished product...bit hard for me to tell what kind of impression the "tool" formed from that far away....while you are at it do you have another picture of the "tool" before it is embedded? Interesting method, just trying to get a better perspective on what I am looking at... thank you... sorry,don't have other pic's, but its essentially a round peg with a stainless cross piece that leaves an indentation. After it sets you insert a stainless pin and carbon over it all, fill, sand and fair....quite a lot of work. It would be easier to insert a wooden block inside and epoxy and screw in some padeyes. | | | Re: Foam strip construction
