I came across a set of lines I started developing about 10 yrs ago for a stitch and glue Day Sailor Project that didn't see completion. To see the shape finally take place I jumped into my computer and within minutes I was finally able to see my project take shape. and I am sharing this with you.

As in any stitch-glue project ... you may have to seal the edges if you plan on making it float, but it is a fun little project to piece together non the less.

The panels are laid out in inches, 3/8"=1'-0" scale. The 3D print developed panels are modeled at approx. 0.3mm thick to allow them to bend the same way plywood would bend.

Cad files and plans are my own and are not available at this time.

1. Print the Panel File twice, the frame file 1 time.
2. Only use 1 Transom (back piece), toss the one that prints the second time.
3. Only use the Small and Medium Frames for stiffness, the aft frame seems to have issues (see assembled pictures)
4. align parts at one end and glue along seams, the boat should take shape.
5. I would recommend using tape to hold the parts while you glue.
6. If using krazy glue .... don't fix yourself to the model .....

I plan to update this file for optimizing. It would be fun to see what kind of weight it can handle.

As this design falls right along with the Naval Architect method of using model building for assessing and fairing a ships lines, I would like to enter the design into the Thingyverse Make It Float STEAM contest as I feel it is appropriate.
