    Carbon dinghy will be more brittle which is not good thing for a dinghy, which must stand lot of beating abuse around. Use glass fiber or kevlar or dynema on top of CF hull, so it can withstand punctures and hammering which carbon cant. 😉🤓

    The OC has a flat spot on the stern bottom for one reason only... to fit a jet drive (that they offer as an option) If you don't need such a thing, the soft dead rise you show would be easier to build without the flat. Having a flat portion at the chine is quite common and the general rib design uses it's pontoons for this.... in fact the pontoons create a bit of a tunnel on either side to trap air and reduce friction while moving through the water.... of course it also helps with stability at dock. But rubber or vinyl is pretty heavy and the average soft boat of 9ft is 120lbs :P Even a solid plywood boat can do much better than that.

    Consider using a lee board that can be moved from one side to the other and stowed flat in a molded floor socket. Also consider a gaff rig, which can be stowed in the boat too. Besides freeing up storage space on Athena, being able to conveniently stow the sailing components in the dinghy keeps it handy for emergencies.

    The OC Dinghy´s advanced hull shape, is very much dictated by it´s aim at being a great sailboat as well. What you have designed Mads, is a speedboat. If you wish to properly sail the boat with a small rig, you need to put the sailing qualities (of a sailboat) at the forefront, when designing the hull shape, and adjust for the planing qualities afterwards. You will end up with something more similar to the OC Tender, just shorter, with a rounded bow.. Good luck

    Correct me if I am wrong but your battery bank is 450w, if the 35w runs for 10hrs it will essentially drain your batteries. I think 35w is also generous, it’s typically 42.

    The OC and OneTenders are fantastic boats, all be it different designs and have both set the benchmarks very high. The OC hull design with its deep chine and flat section on the bottom of the v hull enables easy planning, good tight handling and stability at rest with heavy offset loads such as standing on the gunwales. One of my pet hates is a rising bow before you get onto the plane meaning you have to shift your weight to the front of the tender so having such a wide bow could affect this dramatically and not for the better? I would also put in a floor liner with additional foam underneath that will improve buoyancy for safety and give a flat bottom to the inside of the hull. This would be simple to do and not add too much weight and the benefits will outweigh the cons. I look forward to your project, best off luck.

    An important design criteria is to optimize surface area in order to achieve maximum sanding surface.

  • @dennisg8164
    @dennisg8164 3 дні тому

    Three things to make your hull cleaning easier and preserve your paint. 1. Get a 12 inch drywall knife. That 4” knife is useless. 2. Get glazier suction cups. Attach to your hull just above the waterline and you can reach 6 ft with your drywall knife without your hookah. Twice as fast. 3. Keep those pads away from your anti fouling paint. The drywall knife is all you need to reactive the paint rather than sanding it off.

    I had the opportunity to operate a carbon OC tender over a number of weeks and in varying conditions (fully loaded, unloaded, calm, choppy). We had a 2-stroke 15hp Yamaha OB on the transom and it was a blast...on plane almost instantly. However, the ride was incredibly stiff and had, what my butt determined, was zero flex. The coamings were great as steps for entry and exit but when sitting on them in anything but perfectly calm conditions it was tough on the tailbone. The lightweight, for the length/size, also makes it very lively in choppy conditions when compared to a similar size more traditional dinghy (even an aluminum hull RIB type) and this can make loading/unloading at the mothership more interesting. I certainly recommend thinking about how you might be able to increase the ride comfort a bit without sacrificing too much of the OC Tender design's good initial stability and overall sportiness. Also, carbon might have the cool factor but e-glass might be a better option due to its increased flexibility (and ability to withstand impacts with less damage).

  • @LouisBackover
    @LouisBackover 3 дні тому

    The flat patch at the bottom of the dinghy is good thinking. It's called a pad. Add self-bailing qualities to your list. Scow-bow is another good idea, it adds internal volume to feel like it was a bigger boat as you go forward. To eliminate pounding you transition from 8-9° deadrise at the stern to 16-18° deadrise at the bow. The pad gives you a flat bottom when on plane that offers efficiency. I have an idea on how to make a cheap very strong foam core I've been playing with. I used it to make another type of structure start with Luan board (like a very thin ply). Epoxy 2 sides and edges, use it for an outer skin, then Luan again as an inner skin. Use 1"x1" spacers (maybe 1.25" high?) throughout every 12" in every direction to hold the 2 layers evenly and uniformly apart so there's a cavity between the 2 sheets. Now inject expanding urethane foam in between. The result will be very very strong and light. Layer of glass over the finished product. I am unsure about how you will hold the hull curvature and angle transitions, but this is the method I'd like to experiment with myself.

Also there is a similar dinghy like an OC-tender and it's called an AST tender. a beach 340.

    @ronpippin4893 4 дні тому

    Mads - hopefully your CAD program gives you center of volume at various waterlines. I’ve forgotten how to scale weights, but it is definitely in line with scaling water volume. Your design should have been a little bow down to account for the motor, gas tank and you in the back. You need to account for at least you. (Maybe you’d sail without the motor or with the battery one.) Anyway at a given load and estimated dingy hull weight, you should be able to get a center of volume (buoyancy) and then work your design to where your weight centers and CB line up. (It’s been a long time since I’ve studied naval architecture and used it, but I’ll look up on my shelf and see if I can find you a book.)

To be sure the form fits the purpose why don't you built it first with scrapwood: a few stations and then plywood, less curvy design will do also. the bow can be squared off. Weekend job and the try it out on calm waters. It has to last only a few hours and a few waves

  • @andrebauer576
    @andrebauer576 4 дні тому

    I'm not experienced with hull design of power boats very much, but I'm a naval architect. From my point the bow you designed is way to voluminous,it will slow the boat down when hammering into the waves. Instead to achieve more volume under water sharpen the V forward so the bow will set into the waves more comfortable and smoother. At the same time the planing surface is rotated a bit which will lift the bow in planing mode and let the crew stay a little dryer.

  • @bobrose7900
    @bobrose7900 4 дні тому

    Your 2nd dinghy attempt was looking good, bar the high transom. Don't forget outboard weight and buoyancy projections either side of it, you don't want to be bow high. We stuck with Hypalon and a rigid hull - at 3m strangely enough, although air leaks are a pain. Your best bet is probably a straight copy of a proven design, don't reinvent the wheel!
