But I don't understand or can't find the chamber of the side frames, would it look good without chamber in the sides? Reason I ask is, I can get some full sheets of Panamanian mahogany which I think looks great on the sides (will glass those up to the waterline, above waterline epoxy coat covered with clear coat, inside glassed completely with biax?)
jacquesmm wrote:9 mm frames 80 mm wide would be correct if you use the kind of planking I use.
Yes the planking you sugest here
jacquesmm wrote:Bottom 6 mm core, sides 6, plywood framing 10 mm, deck 4 or plank. All that plus glass in and out.
jacquesmm wrote:I have to see the stringers and the rest of the construction to give an opinion. Build her like a monocoque structure and she will be light and strong.
Yes I was planning a monocoque structure, for stringers I was thinking 3 stringers 1 in the keel and the other two in center of keel and chine. Stinger height same as frames 80 mm

He's not here at the moment, could you be so kind and help me out with my earlier questions above at the top of this page ?

No I'm also very busy at work at the moment but maybe I continue this weekend setting up frames,I'm hanging to no side chamber because of reason in quote, but before I do it would be nice if you give your opinion about this

It would look better with camber. You can always draw the camber your self, it is done the same way than on your CS25.

Sorry but I don't have the time to look at the Flyer plans now. I work 7 days a week, full time on a design that has to be ready within a week.

Peter,

I've shown our location on the chart:

If you come by, look for a catamaran with blue/green stripes on the hull, flying a small Canadian flag at the stern. Boat name is CEILYDH

Cheers,
Evan
