What this video covers

Sven Yrvind constructs a scale model to design the hull planking for his next boat.Watch He uses Masonite to create templates, marking and trimming the material incrementally to achieve the correct shape.0:50 The design features a hull length 3.6 times its beam and a notably flat bottom profile.3:47 By building a physical model rather than using computer-aided design software, he avoids the need to relearn complex programs between infrequent design cycles.3:13 He plans to scale these templates up by a factor of five to guide the construction of the full-sized vessel.4:15 The process involves attaching the templates to the model's molds, accounting for the thickness of the planking material to ensure the lines remain accurate at the bow and stern.1:07
