10 Foot Row Boat - Linesplan and Hydrostatics

This boat was designed with the following factors in mind:

1. The boat needs to be car toppable, so the lightweight of the boat is at 102 pounds.
2. The boat is being built with marine grade plywood that is 1/4" thick.
3. The hull will be encapsulated with West System Epoxy - 3 coats on the hull. The bottom of the hull will be fiberglassed. The interior of the hull will have fiberglass tape at all joints, inside and out with extra reinforcement at the chines. The weight of the fiberglass cloth, fiberglass tape, and fillet dimensions was determined using Dave Gerr's The Elements of Boat Strength: For Builders, Designers, and Owners.
4. Additional Construction Images will be added to this blog as the boat is being built.
