2. TIPS
Wood is the best material to use for your
marine craft project. For starters, it is
highly resistant to the effects of water. In
fact, it out stands aluminum and fiber
glass by far. It is a light but strong
material that will surely help your boat
building experience.
3. TIPS
Now that we understand that wood is the
preferable substance to use, the next obvious
step to take is designing. Not everyone has the
natural ability of creating his or her own plans. In
such instances, which are most instances, there
are readily available design plans that are
available for any sort of boat, big or small.
You can get your hands on these plans from boat
manufacturers, private builders or even order
them online. These plans are so detailed that
almost anyone can build a boat with the right
equipment and state of mind.
4. TIPS
A design plan will give you step-by-step measures for
everything from building the framework, setting up, and
aligning the molds to adding the panels.
If you want to customize everything and need more than
just a simple plan to guide you, 3D boat design are
available that let you specify all the details you want,
giving you a full blown customized guide to follow.
Ideally, you should look at building something that is 20 to
40 feet long. You can choose from single cockpits and go
up to even triple cockpits for your wooden boat designs. It
all depends on your budget and how much time you are
willing to invest.
