Default RE: thinking of steam

ORIGINAL: Bluebrew

Sounds good! I have some experience ripping through the water with a V24,stepped deep V and the weather isn't a factor! A wide beamed, shallow draft( hope I'm using the correct terms) hull like on a river boat looks to be rather unforgiving.Being mostly a land lubber I would naturally only attemp sailing on the calmest of days. Truthfully my fascination is with the steam powerplant and the paddlewheel propultion.Maybe I should consider a more novice oriented platform?Any suggestions?
I think you should build a live steam sternwheeled paddleboat . just give your self some more with on the hull. ive seen 3 sternwheeled paddleboat and one side wheeler in my day and thay looked stable in the watter.
