Kayak Design Software. Like many kayak builders before me, having built a few different designs, I began to think about designing one of my own. I was not prepared to pay for a commercial naval architecture package, and I thought it would be a fun project to develop my own kayak design software. KayakFoundry is the result. Version 1.6 is now available for download below. This is a free program, but contributions are welcome!

Stitch-and-glue boat building, along with the development of epoxy and modern mahogany marine plywood, has revolutionized and revitalized wooden boat building. This method of boat building is not only stronger, lighter, and faster than traditional wooden boat building, but it also takes far less skill. Here's how a CLC stitch-and-glue kayak is assembled. Of course each model is a little different, but you'll get the idea... These drawings, by John Harris, show a Chesapeake 16. You can watch a video of this kayak kit being built from start to finish here. Relatively few tools are required to build a stitch-and-glue boat.
Tools you must have; Tape Measure This is the most often used tool in your shop. Optional Tools - These are nice to have if you are not starting from a kit; Saber Saw This is the one tool for which it really pays to buy the best. Supplies. Wooden kayak designs by One Ocean Kayaks. Tecnicas de construccion , stitch and glue para kayaks de madera. "Coser y pegar", curiosa manera de denominar esta técnica. Curiosa pero muy efectiva y sencilla manera de construir embarcaciones: kayaks, piraguas y todo tipo de pequeños veleros. Con la llegada de las modernas resinas de epoxi y la madera contrachapada de calidad, pronto los constructores navales se dieron cuenta que se podían construir pequeñas embarcaciones sin recurrir a complejos armazones, moldes y otras estructuras que requerían luego una laboriosa construcción de un casco exterior. Los paneles de la embarcación, recortados a su forma exacta en madera contrachapada se atarán "coserán", por sus bordes, temporalmente con pequeños pedazos de alambre de cobre y posteriormente cuando tengamos toda la estructura del casco, cosida con la forma definitiva, se pegarán con resina de epoxi.
Por lo tanto, el casco de la embarcación es su propia estructura, esto se llama, estructura monocasco o "monocoque" tiene la ventaja de ser muy ligera y rígida. Igdlorssuit: Free Kayak Plans for the Boat Before Anas Acuta. The Anas Acuta’s lines were originally developed from a kayak built by Emanuele Korneiliussen in Igdlorssuit for Kenneth Taylor in 1959. This kayak was measured and drawn by Duncan Winning in 1964 and those measurements have appeared in several places on the Internet. I had originally provided the lines of this Igdlorssuit kayak in a HULLS file, but now that FREE! Ship is available, I’ve reentered the lines of this kayak. The year was 1959. The Anas Acuta spawned a wave of British kayaks, and according to a family tree compiled by Duncan Winning those include: Nordkapp, Skerray, Aquanaut, Pintail, Avocet, Q-Boat, Island Kayaks’ Expediton, Newt, Qaarsut(an exact replica of the hull in fiberglass with a modern deck), and Qaarsut 550.
Duncan Winning’s family tree also lists 18 other kayaks that descend from the Taylor kayak. Hydrostatics Volume properties: Kaper run for shown hydrostatics.

El didgeridoo, didjeridu o diyiridú es un instrumento de viento, o aerófono, ancestral utilizado por los aborígenes de Australia. Básicamente es un tubo de madera, el cual se hace sonar al hacer vibrar los labios en el interior. Se supone que tiene unos 2.000 años de existencia [cita requerida], de acuerdo con la datación de algunas pinturas rupestres en las que aparece el instrumento, aunque los propios aborígenes le dan una antigüedad de hasta 40.000 años.
[cita requerida] El término didgeridoo no es de procedencia aborigen; es el que le dieron los europeos en sus primeras visitas a la isla. En las decenas de dialectos aborígenes se tiene una palabra distinta para designar a este instrumento, como por ejemplo yidaki, ginjungarg, eboro, djalupu, maluk, etc. Características[editar] En sus orígenes, el didgeridoo fue creado a partir de troncos de árboles y arbustos de gran grosor principalmente eucaliptos, con su interior roído por la acción de las termitas.
