Greetings
Hey.
Kia Ora!
Here are a couple photos of old and new work.
Designing a sailboat now "Diotima's". Not many straight cut in them.
Building is the easy part, the naval architecture design ratios not so much.

Very nice. Boatbuilding is a whole other thing. I'm quite positive I could build a beautiful sailboat. I am not at all sure it would float, much less sail.
John C2,
It's just like furniture with a lot more caulking and if it leaks a little it's a sailboat, you don't have to row it. So what else do you have to do besides bail.
I have only built a 1:4 scale model so far. I still have to build another one 27' LOA. I built it with all the construction processes that I will build the full size one with. (You got to trick yourself into not screwing up sometimes, you know).
