THE BOAT: Scow Bow Mini-Cruiser. 14’ long (4.25M,) with a 6’ beam (1.8M,) and a draft of 2’6” (0.77M.) She features twin keels and a Ljungström rig. Every design decision is made to keep her simple, strong, and watertight.
In this episode I make a cardboard template for my buoyancy arch’s sides. This will give me an idea of how it will look in real life and finalizes the measurements for when I cut the real deal out of foam later on.

Dude thanks for documenting this! Right now I’m watching Emma builds Birbie make a plywood houseboat, Gavin Watson build a long narrow plywood electric boat and you build this bitchin boat. All three channels are so different yet so good … because of people like you guys. RU-vid is so much fun.

A suggestion, when nuts are used, Castellated nuts with wire going from one nut to another keeps nuts from backing off on propeller airplanes. I really like your boat.

Hi, Thanks for the videos, do really enjoy watching them. The buoyancy arch, I am not sure about. Not only is the design going to introduce unwanted windage (wide verticals, and fat inclined horizontal), but I am sure is unnecessary for self-righting.

@Rubinho1977 5 месяцев назад

Very interesting. I always wondering, as you have no cockpit, how you will control the rudder ; we see a bit more on the plan. I suppose you will have some cables in the boat to control it ?

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

I go into detail on that in OCSS-035 and 036. There's a tiller on deck and an internal tiller system as well. But on long passages a trim tab windvane will do all the steering.

@shanec.7105 5 месяцев назад

I like the sporty compact design. Well everything about it. Everything you do is so meticulous and perfect. If building mine, I would make the boat light on the keel weights and figure out a way to make them heavy for sailing and light for other times. Other times meaning, it would have the hydro foil fins to cruise fast with 500 HP out boards in the back. or slower hydro foil sailing for stability. You have to be able to outrun from pirates and have countermeasures.

@locutus8496 5 месяцев назад

I'm sure you've probably thought of this already but that flotation arch looks like the ideal spot for adhesive-backed solar panels.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

I agree. I was gifted some hard panels that I think will go there. Heavier, but they'll give more power and last longer.

@areyoumad 5 месяцев назад

The only problem I see with that design (it's beautiful!) is that it will be difficult to put a windvane later, if you'd want to.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Yes, like Baluchon I've got to locate the vane on the coamings or close to the main bulkhead. Luckily because the boat is small, the vane will also be small. It only needs to move a small trim tab on the back of the rudder.

@areyoumad 5 месяцев назад

Will that plans be available, one day? I wish they were already!

Setting the top of your arch to comfortable sitting height would be a good idea. I don't see anywhere you have a comfortable place to sit.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Everywhere is a comfortable sitting place with a cushion when the weather's nice. Otherwise you're down in the cabin. It's built for long passages and most people don't really spend a lot of time out on deck during those.

@user-vd652 2 месяца назад

@SvenYrvindExlex 5 месяцев назад

Hi realy nice to see all those extra videos. Is there any estimates of the volyme, 40 liters ? Beamy boats need boyancy high up and weight low down. A roll over test will clearify, but remember Baluchon, any news.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

He calculated 163 liters of volume with the CAD program.

@SvenYrvindExlex 5 месяцев назад

163 liters. That for sure will give a lot of rightning moment @@ocean_capable_small_sailboat

@LongboardDancingPapa 5 месяцев назад

Hey Perry, why don’t you incorporate fender storage into the buoyancy arch? The arch is “dead space” but you could nest fenders into it, and they provide buoyancy in the space they occupy (as long as you figure a way of securing them sufficiently. Even if you have a solar panel, the idea works even if you secure them from underneath.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Yes, it's a good thought. I thought of lashing a fender or two under it to add some volume, or to lash them up on deck near the doghouse for more buoyancy/righting moment if the boat was knocked down. Also was thinking to instead lash a lightweight container under the arch for the same reason.

Nearly 9,000 subscribers captain. Your hard work is paying off. I wonder if Baluchon ever came close to needing its buoyancy arch? Best wishes from Cornwall UK.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

From what he told me, his boat was knocked over a few times, but I'm sure the arch and his keel kept him from rolling too far.

@leemelbourne3297 5 месяцев назад

Ah I see, great idea for righting the boat. I saw somebody pointed out it could act as a windvane and constantly weather cock the boat. You might want thinner side supports. Will you also consider a mast float?

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

I like the thicker vertical supports because they add a lot of volume to it. A mast float is good for an undecked sailboat with no weighted keel, but seeing as I have a rounded deck, buoyancy arch, and 2 heavy keels I think a mast float would just be unnecessary.

@hermitoldguy6312 5 месяцев назад

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat They have to be thick, ot they'll snap off in a roll.

@anthonyrstrawbridge 5 месяцев назад

It appears that the roll motion velocity will be decreased from 90° -270° gentling the roll during most events. Rolling off sideways on a large quartering wave might be slower but more assured I think - by looking at it.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

More assured than what? I don't really understand the comment. Thanks for watching.

@anthonyrstrawbridge 5 месяцев назад

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat I think the gizmo might hold you inverted in certain conditions where it catches a down flow but there's assurance that the vessel will right when gushing torrent subsides. Does that make more sense captain P?

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

I can't imagine a situation where it would "hold you inverted." I've seen rollover tests with these and the boat rolls back upright really quickly. The combo of a lead keel and a buoyancy arch is really powerful.

@eduardotroncoso2412 5 месяцев назад

Suggest to create smooth lateral edges, so it won´t catch side wind

Why not an inflatable ball at the mast head , one that could inflate from the inside the mast head.

@christopherbrand5360 5 месяцев назад

So close to 9k subscribers! Does the arch have any other functions besides making the boat unstable upside down?

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

At high speeds it uses airflow to create more downforce, which allows the rudder to have more surface area acting on the water. No no I'm just kidding. It will also hold some solar panels and a pole with a strong 360° light and a US flag.

I’m afraid the starboard coaming locker will be a wet locker when it rains or spray hits the coaming.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Yes that's fine, I built it with a drain in the bottom. It's for holding things like dock lines and bumpers that might already be wet. However the hatch cover will latch on tight with a gasket and personally I think it will stay pretty dry, but I could certainly be wrong.

@joell439 5 месяцев назад

Do you plan to run the arch side plates down through the deck? I would think the side plates should be one-piece and have at least a third of its total length below the deck??

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

It's good thinking. I'm not totally certain about how to attach it yet, to be honest.

@Philippe275 5 месяцев назад

It will certainly work as a buoyancy aid, but will also work as a sail, with potentially bad unintended consequences. Will it stay in one piece if the boat is being rocked by waves, if the boat is upside down? With this big of a surface area, it will need to be really strong. I've been following you for a long time, but truly don't think this wing is a good idea.

@SvenYrvindExlex 5 месяцев назад

Small boats do not have problems with global forces.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

The whole boat needs to be strong, and the buoyancy arch is no different. Every part of a boat over the waterline causes some windage, look at all the biminis and spray dodgers on cruising boats even dinghies strapped to the deck, this arch catches much less wind than any of those. It's also shaped to have minimal drag.

@Philippe275 5 месяцев назад

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboatI don't think you can compare the effect the windage of a bimini on a 10 tons boat and the effect of a proportionally bigger wing on your boat, which is very light. In fact, large sailboats engineered for performance will not have a bimini even if they have nowhere near the effect your wing will have on your boat.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

I don't think I can help you. It's not a massive component, and is designed for minimum windage by someone with way more experience on the matter than me. This is a mini-cruiser, not a racer. I'll say no more.

@tonysutton6559 5 месяцев назад

It looks like the plastic aerofoils that teenagers put on the back of their beat up old cars around 40 years ago in the belief that the downforce that they generated would help them take corners faster. You just need some go faster stripes to complete the early 1980s style 😀

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

But at least this has a couple real life functions! Mounting surface for solar and excellent righting ability for the boat.
