Steel Ocean is a free to play game on steam which is very similar to world of warships. So far it seems a little faster paced then wow, there are subs in this game and the night battles with the need of shooting flares to see the enemy was fun.
Click to expand.mcm, simply put, all ballasted sailboats will (should) right themselves. As boat heels over, righting stability rises to a max in most cases at about 60 degrees of heel. Click to expand.- go talk to a designer - the only guarantee.Other Options!- Look in Holland - look at(click on stahl and zieljachten and you will find 60 or so small steel sailboats under 28 feet long - some for just Euro 1,500 or 2000. Honestly it would be cheaper for you to look at this site, buy one and stick it in a container to where you live, pay the customs and enjoy). Buy a fixer-uper and enjoy. These boats where made by companies rather than designers. I havent found any plans.
But there are some absolute gems! Dompkruiser, Wibo, Sneekermeer.look at this one - 1978, 7.4 meters with buhk 10hp for Euro 3K.- look under the Dutch society of naval architects (Kornaat yacht design, koopmans etc) - for such steel craft:- Hankinson boat plans (now taken over by Glen L) sorrensons 'shrink wrap tug plans'- denis ganley from new zealand - (awesome steel plans - available from his daughter)- Atkinboatplans (and take them to a designer) eg Captn. Jim young 28' centerboard schooner - lots of designs that could be 'adapted' to steel construction.- Ian Nichols (but how to contact him?)- laurence giles (Vertue 24 or 26foot? In steel) plans expensive!- thomas e colvin - loads of designs!- roberts boat plans = tom thumb (grahame Shannon designed)Van de stadt (probably better aluminium) but?The other thing to think of is that the small craft steel boat builders were/are skilled at adapting other designs to steel - eg, maurice griffiths, laurence giles, atkins, van de stadt, etc. Look for a ply design and ask a designer or do the sums yourself.
The risk is yours. Will it float on its lines?
You have to choose your cross-over design carefully.eg.William Garden's jelly bean:Roberto barros:Wynand N did a fantastic Tomb thumb modified to be bigger inside. How much to bribe you for one of them now Wynand??I cant find your blog anymore Wynard? - and I've raved there as wellSorry - not making much sense - need sleeeeep. MCMIm not quite finished with it yet, roughing out the interior now.
As far as I know mine is the first 26 built as a 26, there are a few that were built but were modified a lot and stretched to 28'. There is no plans for the interior you have to come up with your own.The origami method is a very quick way to build the hull, decks and cabin structure the rest about the same as any other method.Displacment around 6700 Lbs and 1800 Lbs lead balast, if you go to the origamiboat site look in the photo files tom's BS 26 I have a lot of pictures there. Under the files section there is a material list for the 26 that should give you a idea of what it takes.Tom.
