Well, we are more aware now of the lines and interaction of lines used in describing the shape of a vessel.
We a going to get a deep understnding of how we will be able to use these lines in the constrution of frames and conponents in building our boats.
There have been several very good Loftings within our group.
Matts' group has in the meantime experiened AutoCAD as a tool.
One of these Loftings is being chosen as The Lofting we will use to build our 2.5 M Dinghy in our 'Small Craft Build' course.
Likewise we have discussed the 7.3 M lines drawing as a tool to develop understanding of the Calculations of Displacement, Center of Bouyancy, and Center of Lateral Area.
It is my intention that we also use the 7.3 M vessel as a means for us to build a half model Plug, Mould, and Moulding (product) for outcomes in our 'Composites' course.
