Patreon / neophyteboatwrights In this episode, we take a close look at the traditional lines drawing of a boat, explaining the terminology, and how the lines are generated from a 3D boat hull.

I am about to start making myself some model sailboats. I found your video explaining the lines on a set of plans is fantastic to help understand the shape of the hull. Brilliant work guys, thank you. Mick. Down under Australia.

Little trivia: I worked for Boeing for 22 years, some of the time actually building my little bit of the 747. Boeing started as a boat builder and when they transitioned to airplanes they maintained the same dimension system used on the boats. So to this day, measuring from the front of the plane to tail are "stations", looking nose on from the center line to the right are "right buttock line", you can probably guess what the left side are called, (LBL). From the keel up (yes, Boeing airplanes have a keel beam) are "waterline". Enjoyed the video. That should help people understand how things are defined in space (3 axis) on a boat. Thanks!

So timely to find your video series. I plan to build a cat boat next year, and am going to school on this. I've built a couple deadrise skiffs, but they didn't require lofting. This is another level. Thanks

22 years ago, I had the opportunity to work for Philbrooks Boatyard in Sidney BC, and while there did a course in lofting. (to which your videos would have been a great asset). I remember being told that in the very old days, experienced boatbuilders-designers would bolt together 1/2" slabs of wood to represent the water lines. The boat shape was then carved out as a half-model, the slabs taken apart, and the waterlines traced out in scale. the slabs were glued back together and the model sawn apart to provide scale station lines, which were likewise traced out. from there, the boat lines were measured and scaled up to create the table of offsets. This may be a common boatbuilding myth, or it may be a true story, not sure. Anyways thanks for a great refresher explanation.

Nice way of drawing plans :)
@frommyashesrisenrebornredemed3 жыл бұрын
Lets say i want to build female moulds and the table of offsets says that are the "inside skin" measurements and the designer calculated the plans with a 3inch ply construction. Does that mean that i have to draw the lines and then ad the 3 inch of the intended hull and then THAT would be were i should make the female moulds ?
@neophyteboatwrights3 жыл бұрын
Sounds right to me. Doing planking thickness adjustments can be non-trivial in some cases. But assuming the original hull was planked say in a carvel fashion, then you should be able to smoothly extend the mould shape without issue. At least from where im sitting that makes sense. Would need more specifics to say for sure
@jjSuper13 жыл бұрын
So how can one generate the lines without carving and slicing a model into bits? Not that I'm opposed to doing just that.
@neophyteboatwrights3 жыл бұрын
When designers are developing plans they generally loft them out at small scale (1/8th scale is common) in precisely the same way they are lofted at full scale.

diagonals - what are diagonals used for?
@neophyteboatwrights Жыл бұрын
So a diagonal is what you’d get if a waterline and a buttock line had a baby. It’s a cross section of the hull that is oblique to both the vertical and horizontal axes. Diagonals are useful bc they give you even more data (or constraints) on the hull shape. They interrelate waterline and buttock line data. This is especially useful in the case of a particularly shapely hull, where some curvature data may be missed by waterlines and buttock lines. In the end, the more constraints on the hull shape, the more accurate the lofting.
