Take a peek inside our latest launch, Albatross! ⚓️

With no diesel heating onboard, Albatross stays cosy thanks to the #stove & multifunctional #aircon units that provide both warm air in winter & cool relief in summer. 🔥❄️

Since I’ve got a lot of people with niche interests around me here….

I’d like to read a book about how boats are designed and built- mostly bigger ships, like large yachts to container ships.

I don’t want it to be a textbook though.

Recs?

Tip - boat details - spacing inwale spacers right.
How do I get nice looking intervals for the inwale spacers on my boat? Photos. How many expensive clamps do I need for the job?

Will golfball dimples make my boat hull, surfboard or sailboard go faster
The problem is that its not just the dimples making the golfball go further. Spoiler - it is the spinning and dimples together.

Traditionally we were all told that chines were draggy, induced vortices and were slow. But in restricted dinghy classes where different hull designs are allowed chines predominate. And now chines are appearing on yachts as well. Sailors seem to be vot...

I went to the Maritime Museum of Barcelona to see a replica of the Real (“Reial” in Catalan) galley. The original was built to kick Ottoman ass in the 16th century. Speaking of ass, how about that stern.

A key insight: Viking-style boats showed surprising seaworthiness despite their appearance. Sailors experienced a unique, close connection to the waves, expanding their comfort zones. #BoatDesign 2/6

Here’s another little dinghy idea I had—something that could make for exciting and challenging single hand sailing with the sloop rig (bottom), or a relaxed cruise with 2-3 passengers with the lug rig (top). Shape is reminiscent of Nigel Irens’ Western Skiff, I think. #sketching #boatdesign
Multiple pencil sketch views of a small clinker-built dinghy with two different rigs, a balanced lug (top) and gunter sloop (bottom) on the left with bow/stern profile (top) and top/bottom layout (bottom) on the right.
