tjtansey Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 I've been prowling around for about a month and figure I'd chime in finally. I'm building a boat of my own design (with the help of FREESHIP). Anyway here are some basic stats: LOD 14' beam 62.5". More details and pictures are available here: http://tjtansey.quotaless.com All feedback is much appreciated and thenks for all the info you folks put out. Tim Quote
P Doug (WA) Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Welcome to the forum, Tim. Be sure to post your progress and we like pictures! Quote
tjtansey Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 Thanks Doug, I just updated my site, but I will try to get pics up here tomorrow Quote
Ken_Potts Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 I have a feeling the boatbuilding bug has bitten hard this time Tim. Welcome to the forum and please keep us posted. I'm looking forward to the launch day photos and all of the in-between ones. Enjoy! Quote
Frank Hagan Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Very nice ... its good to see a builder design his first boat ... I think you'll find you learn more about the entire process than those of us who built from plans. Be sure and keep giving us updates (some of us live vicariously though the exploits of others!)

tjtansey Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 Definately have done that;) One of these days when I have the time, I'll write down all the starts and stops! Thanks for all the encouragement Quote
lewisboats Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Any chance of catching a gander at the LinesPlan? Steve Quote
tjtansey Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 I'm not sure how to generate a line drawing but here's an isometric view from autocad. Enjoy Tim boat.bmp Quote
tjtansey Posted October 10, 2007 Author Posted October 10, 2007 Well here's today's progress. I got all the frames in and here's some pix Quote
lewisboats Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I'm not sure how to generate a line drawing but here's an isometric view from autocad. Enjoy Tim Seeing as you are using freeship, go into Project in the menu and select Linesplan...in the button bar there is one that shows a bow shape with port and starbord...this puts both sides to the hull, then to the right there is a button for saving the drawing in a .bmp format. Open it in paint and save as a jpg and post it. If you are using Delftship, the linesplan button is in the second row down on the left, second to the right...looks like the splash for Delftship in green and white. The same buttons apply once the Linesplan window is open. Steve Quote
tjtansey Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 Steve, I put it in my previous post. Wish me luck, the sides go on this weekend Quote
tjtansey Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 Well I didn't get much done this weekend except get the sides joined. Hopefully this week I can make more progress. Quote
tjtansey Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 Finally got the sides in place so now work can move along. I also set the cradle I made on my trailer, this will make it loads easier to move around to work on. Anyway here's the latest shots. Tim Quote
