Ian Hroncich says: The hull design begins. I want the structure of the hull to be something similar to a skin on frame kayak. I plan on using ribs (10 or 11) and connect them with stringers, finally putting the plywood skin to seal it all. This image is how I want the first 6 ribs to look (from stern to bow). They will be spaced about 2 feet apart and all have the same dead rise. The only difference is going to be in the vertical angle of the gunnels (designated by the x). I don’t have all the math worked out yet so I will update that next time.
The second image is of a blue whale rib cage and I thought it would give a good frame of reference for how I want to ribs of the boat to look once complete. .
