[camaraderie]

Thanks to our great Admin for establishing this new forum called :
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

This forum is for those interested in discussing various aspects of boat and sail design from a technical perspective and our resident design maven Jeff_H has agreed to populate it with a regular series of articles to help keep it rolling along.

Individual boats DESIGN may be discussed here but this is NOT the forum to post questions about boats suitability for purchase, weaknesses, strong points or other PRE-PURCHASE questions. They should be posted on the BUYING A BOAT THREAD and will NOT be answered here.
Please let one of the mods know if an inappropriate post is made so that we may move or delete it. I will be moving a few existing threads over here to get things started, but feel free to start new threads and ask questions as we have some members with excellent experience in this area.
