Just a few specifications on the boat.

LOA 1330mm
LWL 1227mm
Beam 285mm
Draught TBD
Displacement 4-4.5kg

Sorry of those who work in imperial measurements I don't have the conversions

I plan to construct the hull with a 2mm laminated balsa sandwich. Should be plenty strong enough but yet hopefully remain light enough to float at the design waterline.

My plans are from the website velarc.it, but acquired them through a file share in another thread on this forum.

If anyone is interested, http://www.filefactory.com/f/6e01e30cc7e3300b/

Currently working on cutting notches in the frames for the gunnels and keel structures. I must say it takes too long to cut a 3 x 6mm notch 3 times on each frame.

more to come...
