You will need a leaf blower because the first time you make sawdust, you will need to clean the workshop out. Otherwise, the sawdust will overwhelm you. The easiest way to do that will be to blow everything out through the front doors, and then sweep it off the floor in front of the workshop. It will also show you where you need to secure things you don't want blown away.

Yes, Roberta is correct about chines on a mono hull but not a catamaran. Many river jet boats are built like your new boat is being built and then they add stringers to protect the hull from getting bent because they usually hit rocks in the river and don't want to completely destroy the boat after the first rock hit.

Pretty much exactly like the metal version of a stitch and glue plywood, where developable panels form the shape of the hull. Looks much smarter than that mess of tack welds and impossible to clean corners in that other boat.

Hi Guys, I hope you're both well, I would always prefer a thicker plate design to a framed one. I am so pleased that she will be a Hard Chine too. I guess that the TOF is easier to measure on the welds, with an unframed construction. If I was designing a boat using your method, I would insert various conduits with wire pulling tapes included. Deus te abencoi.

Great episode---love the pic of the mom-to-be just glowing with her new baby "loot". I'm still trying to figure out what in the blue blazes a "chine" is. . . .hmmmm, like a mini-keel? Your workshop is awesome and will remain so until the first moment that you use it, lol. Then the neatness goes out the window and dust, scraps, etc. get under the workbenches, in corners, and underfoot. Such is the life of a workman, eh? But the beauty and functionality still remains!
@clivestainlesssteelwomble76654 ай бұрын
A Chine is a sharp edged change in angle between the hull plates ...eg between the sides and bottom plates, a lot of traditional monohulls have curves all along the hull but power boats that plane need sharp chines and sometimes chine strips to throw the water passing under the hull out without dragging on the sides. Modern sailing vessels use chines because they give a more regular interior space and use twin rudders so the chine a bit like a keel gives more bite when heeled over. 🧙🏼♂️
Learned a lot from this video so thx Duka & Roberta. Cool to see the two sides of alu-thoughts: plastic vs elastic. Like Freedom/Delos vs Odd (wonder what Noah is doing?) Will be interesting if they one day in the future are able to test/compare the two methods.

@sergiohespanha41184 ай бұрын
Sobre o casco, explicação claríssima! Não sei se não prestei a devida atenção e perdi, então pergunto: entre as alternativas quina x caverna, como fica a comparação no consumo do material? O alumínio terá um custo por peso (consumido), ou o tipo de fábrica na forma (perfis diversos, chapas) influencia (suponho que sim)? Considerando que um veleiro não é somente casco, e as outras questões relacionadas à estrutura (esqueleto e fechamento x fechamento estrutural), como a fixação de tudo o que se agrega (acima e abaixo do convés: mastro, estais, motor etc) que cobrarão medidas de reforço estrutural mais pontual ou linear, o que é mais coerente/compatível com um esqueleto estrutural do que com superfícies ‘estruturalmente difusas’. Chapa grossa num esqueleto seria a combinação do melhor nas duas alternativas? Arcando com peso e custo maiores?
