I guess I'll need a plastic hammer.

If I was building a short lived experimental craft I'd consider the fooaming urethane glues, but for all its a pain in the neck to use two pot epoxy it is very tolerant of those of us who are rather less than craftsmen.

I thought that for cats, going through waves (and so minimizing rig pitching) is faster than hobby horsing & going over waves. The fact it's a lot wetter doesn't matter, as you're far enough away from the leeward bow. For mono keelboats, it's a fashion thing. When TPs/IMOCAs etc start showing up with reverse bows, then I might start to believe that it's a faster shape. Until then..

Relevant because they have a closer length to width ratio to a dinghy than a cat does.

I added the reverse bow just as a means to try and understand how to best design one. In reality a vertical bow would be easier to build but would it look as good? I used delftship to design it with the intent of using Catia V5 r21 to complete the detailed design, but haven't got that far yet.

Yes, just a hiker. Could be thought is as a maxed out 200, or a Tasar with a kite, or (unlikely as it sounds) a Merlin mixed with a 29er. It certainly has been influenced by all of those (and more) but, in my head at least, it's more than a merging of ideas. It is all based on first principle theory, personal taste and a habit of being contrary. As good as the NS and Icon hulls are, I like the process of designing hulls. I may not have the pockets to make 'em, but I like drawing them and the intricate detail it involves. And one day, one day, I hope to have the satisfaction of sailing one such creation, even though it would be far more sensible not to! |

This is my winter project. When I say winter I am more talking nuclear winter durations.
