| #5435--HOW TO BUILD A
20-FOOT MONOPLANE The regular hydroplane, although possessing great speed, is nevertheless a very disagreeable proposition to ride in, and it is doubtful whether, below certain lengths, the step is of any importance. In the design of the little boat described herein, use has been made of the bydroplane principles by combining the hollow V-bow with the concave stern section. In this way a boat of maximum speed is obtained with freedom from pounding. Two arrangements are shown: one open, with seating capacity for six or eight persons; the other, a regular auto runabout arrangement. HOME PAGE |
