The mailman brought joy

Here she is:


Sjogin's lines plan

This is Paul Gartside’s first draft of the Lines Plans for Sjogin. It all starts with this two dimensional representation of the hull, shown in three views. From this the Table of Offsets is created that will allow a builder to begin construction.

Paul took the measurements that Steve Martinsen and I recorded this Summer and worked his magic. Here’s a link to the Post where we picked up the offsets. Seems we weren’t too far off.

Paul asked for some missing measurements and other detail which I picked up yesterday. He’ll then produce plans for traditional lap strake construction and also for glued-lap plywood. Looks like there’s hope for sister-ships someday. Maybe even a gaff yaw version.

What joy.

  1. Nice Lines Russ,
    It’s a big undertaking to get a good set of lines taken off, it will be wonderfull to – hopefully – see the first boat being laid down.

    Snow’s back again in Scotland, more kayaking in the ice again !

    cheers

  2. Graeme,

    Needless to say I’m thrilled with this undertaking. Pleased also that the measurements were close enough to draw a very fair boat. If I had the good sense to pick up the rudder shape, the draft would look even closer.

    Happy kayaking in the snow,

    Russ
