I’ve had a couple of requests for reduced shadows for the Noux by people wanting to home-build the boat using planking or other methods. Here are the lines with 1-6mm offset from the outer hull surface. A DXF file is attached to the pdf, click the small paper-clip next to the text to save the [...]

Since publishing the bulb mould plans there has been a couple of requests for a drawing of only the bulb. Here it is. It’s a round cross section 350mm long NACA 0010-34 bulb. I’m using a feature of Adobe Acrobat 6.0 to attach a DXF version to the PDF file. Open the PDF in acrobat [...]
drawing in DXF format Søren Andresen (DEN) sent me the plans for his own design with which he won the 2005 Nordic Championship and placed 2nd in 2004. He also sailed it into 35. place in the 2004 Euro Champs in Arcos/Spain. The PDF file contains the sections and a drawing with the mast and [...]
Our bulb moulds are CNC milled from aluminium and more than 15 bulbs have been made successfully from them. Note that it could be useful to make the hole through which lead is poured in a little larger than shown on the plan.
Charles Detriche has kindly allowed me to publish one of his IOM designs. This one is called “Sliver”. Update 2006Dec07: Sliver hull in IGES format
Arrow drawing in DXF format. Charles Detriche has kindly allowed me to publish one of his IOM designs. This one is called “Arrow”. Update 2006Dec07: Arrow hull in IGES format
