Essential Foundation of Small Craft Design

Lesson 2. Lines part 1 describing the boat with lines. In this lesson, we are going to take an unusual

Lesson 3. Lines Drawings Part 2 At this point, we must diverge from the drafting of lines and go back a little into the design process.

Lesson 4. Mathematics at work for, you. Most people have a very rational hesitation, and a shudder runs down their spine when they are faced with the idea of starting what at first appears as complex math.

Lesson 5. Hydrostatics and Stability 1. It is critical

Lesson 6. Hydrostatics and stability too. anywhere in the world, is subjected to forces that will disrupt the equilibrium of the boat that is floating  perfectly on her lines.

Now we need to look at the effect.

Lesson 10. Putting it all together At this point, we are equipped to put everything together in order to follow the design spiral and design a 

boat with all the important considerations, such as a safe efficient and effective vessel to fulfill the desired role. This could be as work boats,
