Ideas For a Balsa Wood Boat...?
if "stationary", shape/streamlining isn't terribly important, simple design looks sort of barge or oil tanker may simple , efficient purpose. catamaran or trimaran design may add style, , add stability, if there need move or ensure avoids capsizing if there waves or currents.
other that, need calculate "displacement" displacement hull... how big boat need to carry amount of weight. every pound of weight, need displace pint of water, or in metric units every kilogram of weight, need displace liter of water, 1000 ccm, can visualize cube of balsa wood 10cm per side. , can expand on , hull 5cm x 10cm x 100cm = 5000 ccm hold 5 kilograms, , if make 3 of these hulls make trimaran can hold 15 kilos (minus weight of balsa wood in hulls).
, add 20% safety margin of hull out of water, otherwise may capsize easily.
we have make stationary boat balsa wood holds bit of weight, know sites or has ideas?
