New Welsford Design - Nautilus sailing Canoe - The WoodenBoat …
2011年7月29日 · I described to John how well my sailing canoe went upwind on port tack with the starboard mounted leeboard well immersed. Not as good on the other tack, especially when short tacking in strong tide. Also being surface piercing they catch floating weed badly, much more than immersed boards in the same conditions.
Concrete in the bilge ? - The WoodenBoat Forum
2009年12月4日 · All that wave piercing also sends alot of spray back as the water litterally has to get out of the way of the boat. Now getting back to concrete in the bilge - these itchen ferry designs carring some internal ballast with cemented bilges and keeping a wide beam and some lead ballast keel - turned out to be good cruising designs as Lyle Hess and ...
CLC Skerry vs. Passagemaker? - The WoodenBoat Forum
2005年10月24日 · Steve, my vote is for the Skerry. It is a real boat in its own right whereas Passagemaker is a chopped off pram with her nose in the air meant to be towed behind a real (bigger) boat. Skerry is very attractive, the rig will be simpler to set up and sail, and I get the feeling she will perform better for most uses.
Sam Rabl boat - The WoodenBoat Forum
2005年12月5日 · Anyway, the arc bottoms power boats have their chines meet the straight (almost vertical) stem right at the waterline. At the water line the soft nose (if equipped) is built from a 2x12 board and layed up bread and butter style. This laminated nose is shaped and rounded to blend in with the curve of the sheer. Very different.

Let's do a little good together this season
2024年12月1日 · Friends, it's the holiday season. Matt is threatening to close the doors. Half of us are very unhappy with the state of things. Why don't we do something good this season and we can hang the name of The Bilge on it when we do. Perhaps that will melt Matt's heart just a little. I read this in the reincarnation thread... ..
Building a small flat bottom boat with my gramps design
2023年7月24日 · Hi everyone, I recently built a flat bottom boat (18 foot) using my grandfather’s very simple design. The sides are 18 foot pine boards tied into an oak transom and nose piece while the floor is 1.5 inch pine strips screwed into the bottom of the sides and nailed to each other.

Some Goat Island Skiff questions - The WoodenBoat Forum
2011年2月10日 · I had the same concerns about the daggerboard, but in practice have had nothing to complain about. Ours is fabricated mostly with western red cedar staves. It has a meranti stave at the nose and at the tail. These are the areas that take the abuse or are fragile.
Snow Prince - The WoodenBoat Forum
2014年9月7日 · But, after years of observation, I've concluded that it takes some education to recognize a boat or a building or a painting that's something special. Which is why I stick my nose in here and make the odd comment about hogged sheers and too high houses. IE is the result of a master of proportion(Art DeFever) at work.
