Thanks y'all!

I'm actually drawing it out in Rhino (CAD program) right now, but OneWayTraffic's 212mm number worked out - close enough for rock n' roll at least.

Hey y'all! I'm drawing out the MG20 hull and have a quick question about the final dimension (moving from transom to bow) for the bottom panel. Since a picture is worth a thousand words. https://i.postimg.cc/LsRm7sWc/Screen-Shot-2020-03-21-at-2-18-18-PM.png I'm sure I'm just failing to understand on...

Thanks Jacques!! I actually bought them this morning....order ID 5304. I'm realizing that I only mentally replied to your analysis that you did on the boat I designed this summer. So rude...please forgive me! 8O At any rate, you suggested: I would buy the CS25 plans, redraw the lines in CAD and past...

Right??

So obviously my "plan" is to scale it up to 30 feet....



Thanks man, I appreciate it as always!!

Hey Jeff! The study plans indicate that there is some sort of foam option: https://i.postimg.cc/3NY1PBc2/Screen-Shot-2019-01-04-at-2-39-18-PM.png And the plans suggest there is a full manual (which I guess Jacques is working on?): https://i.postimg.cc/L67fPD3v/Screen-Shot-2019-01-04-at-2-39-48-PM.pn...

Hey y'all! I just used some Christmas money and pulled the trigger on the GS28X plans. :D I just skimmed them so may be missing something, but I don't see any scantlings or anything related to foam sandwich construction. Here's a screenshot of the downloaded files: https://i.postimg.cc/J0LXPtBY/Scre...

Ah ha! I figured it out. See, I just needed to ask you guys.... :lol: :lol: My “457 between transom and frame E” is incorrect - I did it 457 from the zero line (in this case the top of the short side of the strongback) rather than than the bottom of the transom . Like I said, dumbass. In my defense,...

Hey y'all! Ok, I'll preface this by saying I know that I'm being a dumbass with this, somehow. I just can't figure out where that dumbass-ery is located in my measurements, so I'm hoping y'all can help me! :lol: I'm drawing out the FS17 plans and I basically have an extra 59mm of strongback. That nu...

Excellent, excellent information as always gents!! Fallguy - I‘ve been a little leary of infusion, partially because it seems more material intensive (lots of plastic consumables that end up in the trash), but mainly because it seems less forgiving than hand layup in the sense that if you screw some...

I know Jacques is working on a pretty detailed overhaul of the foam sandwich option for most or all of the designs, so the answer to this question will probably be there, but.... Is there an epoxy that is particularly well suited to that method of construction? I feel like Silver Tip is basically th...
