Dennis:
It is basically a net of
the desired Squire size you Desire. I searched the nett some 8 years ago a
found a website about knitting a fishing net where it was al clearly explained
with pictures.
All you need is a stick,
the diameter of which determines the net hole size, and a simple wood tool
(itcan be a stick) to accumulate the rope to be knit.
I will try to post
pictures of mine this week.

Toni,
How do you make them? And can it be made so that it
comes off for trailering? Can you recommend a book, or link or
something... preferably with pictures?

I’ve always made my trampolines. Buy enough rope
and knitt while you watch TV at night.
They have worked alright.

Hi Doug,
I wanted the
rudders out pretty far and I wanted the beams to be just outside those to help
transmit the rudder loads. With this three beam design there is almost no
torsion of the lee hull. Helps since its of relatively week lauan.
Since its doesn't have to racking loads and the trigulation resists all the
in-plane shear loads it should be a very stiff and strong structure without
resorting to exotic materials or lots of fiberglass. But... I didn't
factor any thinking for the trampoline. I just assumed the triangle... 8'
x 9' wouldn't be an issue. But then I've never made one. Is there one?
Thanks,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
This is my current thinking... although, I want to re-check my
numbers based on Rick's last message about using an aspect ratio of 7 to 8
and see if how much I can reduce the size of the rudders. Since I have
no way of doing a non destructive rudder strike, I will be evaluating that
some. Its configured to articulate the hulls and I have some ideas to
restrict that motion, but they're not in the drawing. Windward hulls
been analyzed with Godzilla is about 10% more drag than a semi circle cross
section... again... hopefully, can get it planing early and overcome that
deficiency. Can always sit on back of windward hull (with the
articulation) raise the nose to encourage planing. With the big flat
bottom, expect it won't be too difficult. Although it will be a bumpy
ride! |
