|Dear Bob, Rob, MikeC, et.al.;

Mike C has talked a bit about a 12' wide 45-50' trailerable. I had asked about building one like it too.

To me, there is value in several versions of the same ship being built. I thought a 40 would be challenging. Whats a few more feet?!? No, seriously, i'm asking...

Bob, are you interested in seeing about a shared design of something like this? A 'US maxi trailerable'?
Perhaps between Mike, you, and Rob, we could get a SOR for Rob and kick around ideas? Rob has already suggested he was down.

Mike had generously offered, last winter, for me to go over to his, this past sumer, and sail and discuss this. I was unable to take him up on it. But the idea still seems great.

As for me, to paraphrase Supa Hot Fire, I am not a sailor. So I am gonna nod and ask alot of silly questions.

So, wanna design a boat?|


I was just reviewing past conversations when I noticed a shout out for a collaborative effort. Yeah I'd like to contribute what I can. 

I'm currently working to get the details of the bridge deck drawing details mapped out. The floor skin has no thickness dimension to it yet, although it's means of support are T-shape floor joists about every couple of feet on center. Support for the floor joists would be between the cabin floor and carrier beam, bolted to shear brackets. Since the bridge deck is a bolted platform there's room to modify it to swing on a pivot. I'd be happy to share what I can in the form of DWG drawings, but just so you know I'm no structural engineer although I've worked all my life in structural steel.
