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 begin work on the main hatch into the boat and the doghouse. I build all the panels I need to assemble the doghouse, and build the lip that will surround the main hatch hole to receive the hatch cover.

Another way to help 'glass conform to curved surfaces, is to cut your strips 'on the bias' - ie at 45 degrees to the fibers. The downside is that it requires careful handling to not lose its shape entirely, and also (potentially) wastes some cloth....

@philipjohnson1103 2 месяца назад

I do believe a sliding hatch is best. Not as hard opening and closing against strong winds and wave action. Also can be partially opened. The work is in designing a sliding hatch that sheds water, and has minimal water ingress. JMHO

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 месяца назад

To me they're the last thing I'd want. They all seem to take on water when it splashes against them, even rain seems to get in. In a rollover it's common to read that a waterfall of water gushed in. I know they're convenient for walking through and exchanging a lot of air in nice weather though.

@leemelbourne3297 2 месяца назад

What was the reasoning behind a round hatch vs a square hatch? Building round things is always much more complicated. There will be more stress on the single hinge that is you must use as well. The same dual gasket approach could be used in a DIY square hatch.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 месяца назад

I've always wanted it to be round. I like the look and was inspired by Jester built by Blondie Hasler.

@Thinkflite 2 месяца назад

Can you do a video on your calculations and estimates eith regards to centre of buoyancy,pressure, mass etc and the positioning of the keel to the sail plan...point of vanishing stability etc. I think these would be good as they give clear indication as to your boat estimate performance 🙂

@Finn-McCool 2 месяца назад

Not that there will be a next time. But I would recommend using a wide band clamp or at least strap style tie downs in order to ensure a perfect circle. Wrapping it around the form increases proximity to perfection. 👍🏽

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 месяца назад

Yes, it came out fine but I think there are probably better ways to do it out there. The form I wrapped it around wasn't the best either.

@OSMAdventures 2 месяца назад

Super cool! An advantage of having no boom or vang: Nothing to get in the way of operating this hatch! Hey, will you want / need a lucite light in the middle of the hatch door, to check out the sail trim when underway?

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 месяца назад

That's right, thanks for the comment. I was thinking of a round deadlight right in the middle of the hatch. Not sure though... every deadlight added will result in more building time.

The time difference cannot stop me from watching the video as soon as possible. It is recommended to use a Japanese paddle for entering and exiting the port, which is used by many in Asia. I forgot the Japanese name, “撸”？

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 месяца назад

Hah, I know the basics, but there's probably someone much more qualified who's made a video about it. I think basically if you epoxy on top of epoxy work that hasn't fully cured you can get an excellent bonding of the molecules and they kinda fuse together.

@astrayalien 2 месяца назад

Well done, but the width of the hatch hinge looks way too narrow. If you make it more like 300mm wide it will resist twisting much better. Just an observation.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 месяца назад

It could be, we'll see. A friend and I bounced a lot of design ideas back and forth and after a lot of thinking we settled on this hinge design. The pin will be pretty snug in its slot so there shouldn't be enough twisting motion to matter.

@astrayalien 2 месяца назад

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat you should definitely seriously consider my suggestion, but it is your boat at the end of the day.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 месяца назад

As I said, I've been working on this for years, it's not like I didn't consider wider versions. It's a robust wide hinge for a light hatch cover. It saves on weight, materials, and cost. Some Navy hatches work the same, along with many portholes. You can find many examples online. If it doesn't work out, it can always be replaced.

@astrayalien 2 месяца назад

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat good for you, time spent researching is never time wasted. My point was about leverage, not weight. You are building a boat that will move like a crazy thing when the wind and waves get exciting and you will undoubtedly fall against it whilst it is open and the hinge will fail. You do you, I will enjoy seeing the outcome of your labours when things get interesting.

In addition, I would like to ask that the weight and strength calculation of basalt fiber should be between carbon fiber and glass fiber, closer to the weight and strength ratio of glass fiber. Are there any advantages to basalt fiber in the United States?

Basalt is non flammable. On a boat that's a huge advantage.

Доброго времени дня. Простите за вопрос дилетанта. но я нигде не нашел название материала который Вы используете последним слоем при оклейке панелей. Видимо для придания гладкости во избежание лишней шлифовки. Тот, который Вы, после высыхания смолы, снимаете. Если Вас не затруднит, расскажите мне о нем подробнее. Спасибо. Good afternoon. Sorry for the dilettante question. but I have not found anywhere the name of the material that you use the last layer when pasting panels. Apparently to give smoothness in order to avoid unnecessary grinding. The one that you take off after the resin dries. If it's not too much trouble, tell me more about him. Thank you.
