The Lazy Barnacle: Design




Wow, looks like I am on my final high school engineering project! I've come quite a long way and this will be a fun final project. We need to scratch-build a sailboat which will travel down a creak (flow in one direction) 500 feet in 5 minutes. I've started the bottom of the hull and will work my way up, using a load of spare 1/8 by 1/8 balsa wood from my cantilever order to make a frame. Will post updates!
