Log in or Sign up. Boat Design Net. Have always loves this classic design from the board of Sparkman and Stevens. There's a small fleet here in our area. For a winter project I want to build one. There are several sets of offsets with the fast design that I've brought into Rhino. Cold molding would seem the answer however the hard chine doesn't seem to fit the process as well. Then there is the frame method the Gougeon boys outline in their big blue bible.
Any thoughts or ideas?? FirstLight , Aug 21, Balsa planks core composite should be the lightest and stiffest. That design was made for carvel construction and has very easy lines. DCockey , Aug 21, I would recommend sticking with the rules, if you do not, not only will you not be allowed to sail in the races, it will not have much resale value when you are done with it.
It appears there is no advantage to a lightweight build since rules require a lb hull anyway. You might consider finding a used one and refurbish it, it will cost less and get you on the water faster.
Petros , Aug 21, Are you into compatition or just playing about?? Not all resins are born equal. You not breaking the rules just bending them a little!!
But, what do i know! I think one boat boat was built using the WEST system. They are wonderful boats but you should be aware that some of the top small boat builders in the country have built these things. Expectations for a wooden hulled Lightning will be very high among class members, and not just among the elite racers. The woodies used to have a very slight rules advantage over the glass boats and most of the national champs went with woodies.
There is a ballast allowance of twenty pounds on the centerline. Any extra has to be distributed elsewhere. If I recall, the object of the game is to come in exactly twenty pounds light at in measurement trim and then max out the centerline ballast allowance. So basically, you assemble your rig, lines, hardware kit,CB, and rudder and weigh that. Then build the whole thing with temp fasteners and carefully weigh it again.
Then take it all apart and put it together permanently after any adjustments allowing for glue and paint and fairing putty.
Am I dreaming or were the old hulls all double diagonal planked on the bottom. I used to sail on one until I was five. I soloed it on the Chesapeake. My parents were more than a little annoyed I took the boat out. But all I remember was the fun I had and Mr Keck coming out and asking me to please return to the dock. Then he motored back to the dock and let me sail her in. Mr Keck gets lots of points for letting me do that and not towing me in.
I've sailed on them once or twice since then. Keep all of your reciepts and document the build as you go and ask lots of questions of the association members. Old Boat.. Great information!!! After looking through the options and debating building from scratch I opted against it.
You guys made some good points. Thank you so much. I figured I would see if it was worth rebuilding to have some fun with it. I posted a new link since I am down to the outer skin in one section. I figured I'd try removing the foam core in one area and stiffening to see what I get. Here is the link. Once again. Any and all information greatly appreciated!!!
