Am I currect in thinking this can float?
|
It probably depends on the liquid on which one tries to float it. Though I
haven’t tested it on water, I am pretty sure that it won’t float, unless one
broadens the definition of float to include ‘sinking more slowly than
expected’.
|
Maybe you need to install a mercury bath. It may be viscous and dense enough to
support the boat.
| |
But even if it did float, it would do so upside down. :-(
|
Perhaps a train weight would help.
| |
| |
If so I think a lot of leeway can be given for the rest of it.
|
Ha ha! Excellent use of the nautical term ‘leeway’.
|
Well it seemed more apt than portside.
| |
| |
I agree it’s not quite up to your usual high standard but I’m sure the
version 2 will do justice to your aims and goals.
|
I think, ultimately, this hull is unlikely to produce a ‘great’ sailing
vessel (wrong shape, wrong proportions), also the other design limitations I
used for the Nonlibre Billet do limit the appearance significantly (though
some of these can be addressed).
|
Perhaps you could try a sailing vessel of a different era or building style?
| |
Why thank you! It is always a pleasure to have a moc spotlighted by someone
of your building ability.

And it is always a pleasure to spotlight someone of your building ability.
