I just finished building the first boat with a more conventional hull.The hull itself is made of aluminium of an old light fixture and already had a nice curve in it.All I had to do was fold it over,rivet it together and cut it into shape.Then make a stern and glue the Rohacell inside.
All this made the boat very lightweight,which caused some problems later......
The rudder was very easy made and one of the best parts of this boat I think.
When I tested the boat I found out that it sits very low in the water,not a bad thing,but also that it wanted to capsize(especially with the windguard on),a very bad thing.
So in the end I had to make some "floaties" to prevent this from happening.
In a change from the boat building I started on a balloon car,which is coming along nicely.
