OK, let’s get started. SourceRuns boat project.
I and my friend have decided to make a boat of flywood with the SourceRuns theme. We are going to use a boat building method called “Stitch and glue”.

This method requiers no carcass and even a lot of spanthouts to seal boards, the transom and the bottom.
Firstly, we’ve made a big 1:1 scaled draft with different parts of the boat.

(the lines can be seen hardly)

There are some parts of the boat which will be copied on flywood panels and then cut.
After that - starting building! Sliced panels, bars and planks; epoxy resin and fumed silica (yes lol); glass fiber + 4 hands = boat almost done.
The last part gonna be pressurization and painting the whole boat into black-orange SourceRuns theme.
Сharacteristics[sup]1[/sup]:
Max size - 110 x 230cm
Board height - 60cm (62.11)
Mass - 20-50 kg (unknown exaclty).
Crew - 2 + 1.
Max waterline height - about 40cm (unknown exactly).
Deadweight - about 500 kg (will be known exactly when I find out max waterline height OpieOP).
[sup]1[/sup] - they will be refined soon
In addition, we are going to make a mast and a tiller with a simple steering system; two “trunks” to store things.
Every day when we do our project, we record videos and take photos to make timelapse/image montage video at the end. In the video all days’ progress will be explained. Here in this topic I will post some images showing what we have done.
Starting from this point, the project is probably going to take about a month.
Feel free to ask any questions in this topic. If some words here are unclear, ask me too.
