Its slenderness, light weight and carefully designed rocker give it efficient performance at design speeds of 5 to 9 mph (though some go a little faster). This plywood electric boat is specifically designed for very low power – the shapes required to go at higher speeds safely are very different from this. Emphasizing simple construction, the plans specify fastening the plywood panels with duct tape rather than the usual copper wire. Temporary spacers are used to create the hull shape before it is glued together and the spacers and duct tape removed. Untitled.

Prevent water from getting into the wood Why should water not get into wood? First of all, as explained earlier, wood swells and shrinks along with its moisture content. A wooden boat is full of structural details, where pieces of wood have been joined with crossing grain directions (as an example, every plank is fastened to every frame at both edges). There is no way to prevent movement of moisture to and from wood totally.

Water comes in two brands. Water vapor gets absorbed in wood cell pipe walls, but does not under any circumstances cause the cell hollow to fill. Liquid water gets absorbed in wood cell pipe walls, and can also fill the cell hollow. Cell walls can absorb water up to 25-30 % of wood dry weight. This can only happen, if the air relative humidity stays at 100 % for a long period of time.
