Hi Andrew,
Download the DXF version of the plan. You can then open it with a CAD program (Rhino for example, or Corel Draw or something similar) and delete any sections you don’t want.

Can anyone provide me with the drawings showing less shadow or colour code all of the shadow lines, it is hard to figure out where on starts and the other one start.

No, It was just a loboratory boat to test new ideas and materials… the boat is now two years old and is showing ageing signs… some cracks on the paints, some parts have been modified, etc… It’ll never be a IOM!
Also because I’m falling in love with the 1,5 feet boats we are using on our very small lake…

Ok, that’s honest. Have you kept everything else according to the rules or just let your imagination run riot?

@Val: if you are refetrring to my pictures (green boat), I’ve not registered as IOM, also because the hull is carbon fiber…

That looks like a carbon beam across the boat and if that is bonded to the deck rather than bolted then you may have some possible measurement problems as it could well be regarded as being a structural part of the ‘hull’ as defined in ERS. I would check with IOMICA if I were you and be safe.

Hi pablo,
I have some pictures of the designers (Soren Andresen, DEN) Laerke taken at the 2004 European Championships in Arcos Spain – those might be useful for you.
I will (re)publish those pictures shortly.

Hi, andrew
IÂ´m currently building a ship with your LAERKE design, and I wanted to know if you have any specifics on the distribution of the internal elements on the ship.

Also, if thereÂ´s any additional information you think might be usefull I would really appreciate it.

Many thanks in advance,
