Re: [bolger] Re: hull construction patent US4489668

I have seen the strange boat you mention.
I'll get it done in scale today and post a shot. I have two sheets of 6mm left over but the "invention" uses 3mm (1/8").

The patent canoe has a pretty full, rounded midsection.
Here's hoping you've got a camera!

I was searching for breasthook and for some reason free patents are swarming my google results these days. A patent for hull construction where triangles are cut and rolled up to form a nice looking hull form. It was applied for in 1982, reminds me of the Bolger Diamond kayak in some ways?

It looks like a clever canoe. I'm going to cut up some plastic and see how it looks 3D.
