Cheaters Skiff
Posted: 29 Sep 2019, 14:47
Well it's not a kayak this time but my take on a micro skiff - I haven't gone for a flat bottom but as a modified Vee hull instead but with only 4 deg dead rise at the transom
and a Vee type bow
doing it as a stitch and glue thing - spec are about 410 cm long and 126 cm beam and plan to make it to use a 10 - 15 hp and looking at a 2 stroke mainly for the weight
I made up a 1/3 scale model to make sure my drawings worked out and it all stitched up fine
so for a start on the full size boat I've now got the 3 main bulkheads,2 main stingers and the transom pieces cut out -- the transom is 2 x 6 mm and 1 x 9 mm marine ply that need to be glued making a 21 mm think transom
2 large holes in this will drain any water that comes over it - the floor is raised above the bottom and will be sealed with flotation inside ( unsinkable )
so that's my new project - I post up more as I go along
