Homemade boats from plywood. Boat with own hands: drawings

Many prefer to have a personal boat. Since the brand is pretty much worth, homemade boats made from plywood can be a great way out.

On the ship, which will be discussed, it can comfortablyaccommodate three people, besides, its weight is small, like an ordinary kayak. It is suitable for fishing, and for walks with friends or family. If necessary, the boat can be equipped with a motor or a sail.

Plywood is a durable material, so self-made motor boats made from it can accelerate to very decent speeds, while being stable and safe.

Parameters of the future boat

The boat in question will have a length of 4.500 mm, its width is 1050 mm, and the depth is 400 mm. Such parameters allow the boat to be used universally.

Material for manufacturing

To make the case durable and easily withstandload, it is better to choose a three-ply plywood that does not have knots, with a thickness of sheets from 4 to 5 mm, and necessarily impregnated with glue on a resin base. From this material, excellent homemade wooden boats are obtained.

Plywood is used in shipbuilding everywhere. After all, from thin layers of plywood, connected with resin glue, you get a very strong veneer that can withstand huge loads.

What the boat consists of

The main element of the whole construction is the keel. It is like the ridge of a boat and to it is fastened on one side the stem that forms the nose, and on the other side the atersteam forming the stern. These structural elements are responsible for the longitudinal stiffness of the ship, so that the homemade motor boat from the plywood was strong.

The transverse stiffness is provided by the frames. Their lower part, which will become the bottom, is called a flirtry, and the two upper lateral parts are called futoks.

When all the elements are assembled and securely fastened, the frame is covered with plywood. After that, to give the structure more rigidity, the top of the stems, as well as the frames, are fixed with boards-boards.

For plywood casing, you need to useOne-piece sheets that will completely cover the necessary plane. Only so self-made boats and boats will have a minimum number of seams. The plywood of the plating lays on the frame, forming smooth transitions of lines and creating a streamlined boat shape. There is a minimum kink in the waterline only on frames 2 and 4.

Materials for the construction of boats

• Plywood 3 sheets 1500x1500 mm.
• The boards are pine 3 pieces 6.5 m long and 15 mm thick.
• Two boards for the keel and falshkilles, the length of which is 6.5 m and the thickness is 25 mm.
• One board for making a stern oar, the length of which is 2 m.
• Board, the thickness of which is 40 mm, and the length is 6.5 m (for making frames).
• Two planks on oars and staves, length 2 m, thickness 55 mm.
• Light fabric 10 m, which will cover the body.
• 1 kg of slaked lime.
• 7 kg of wood tar.
• 4 kg of natural drying oil.
• 2 kg of oil paint.
• Nails in length 75, 50, 30 and 20 millimeters.
• Oars for oars with bolts and fasteners.

We manufacture details

We create frames, they need to be drawn on plywood. To ensure that everything was perfectly smooth, apply paper millimeter. The boat is made by hand with the drawings that will be presented here. Let's start with the first one.

The first thing to do is to draw a vertical axis orthe diametric plane is DP. Then horizontal lines are drawn so that the DP divides them in half. They should be nine pieces, and the distance between them is equal to 5 centimeters. Then on these horizontal lines put marks on which will create the bends of the boat itself. Do them better with a metal ruler, bending it over the marks. So made a boat with their own hands will have an ideal outline.

Now create the inner contour. From the bottom horizontal line up two more lines are drawn, parallel to it straight lines at a distance of 60 and 75 mm. After this, 130 mm is measured from the outer bend to the axis on the frames No. 2, 3 and 4. And on the frames No. 1 and 5 in the same places they lay 100 mm, because they are extreme and go to a narrowing. Thus, we draw the inner point of the tide on the flottimbers, after which we draw a line down to its upper cut from it.

Building an inner contour of futoxes

From the outer part inside is deposited 40 mm, according tothe entire length. And where the fotoksam joins the flottimbers, you need to do a little wider, so that the structure is reliable. Thanks to this element, homemade motor boats have the necessary margin of safety.

When everything is done, the drawing should be checked,bending it on the center line. If all the contours coincide - well. Hence, it is possible to make patterns from cardboard for further transfer of the image to wooden workpieces. In the case where there are inaccuracies, you can use half, which is ideal, and on it to make patterns, first attaching one side, and then the other. In the drawings there should be an ideal symmetry, otherwise homemade boats from plywood will not get strong and stable on the water.

How to transfer an image from templates to a tree

When the templates are ready, we put them on a board, the thickness of which is 40 mm. The location should be in the direction of the fibers of the tree, you need to calculate everything so that they are cut as little as possible.

When drawing templates and sawing themfutoks, it is necessary to leave a reserve, making them a bit longer than the planned sizes. Making self-made boats from plywood, drawings do in good faith, considering all the nuances! The presented drawings will help you in this. Pay attention to some margin in the side view drawing, as well as on the illustration of the frame, which is shown a little higher. Such a reserve will avoid mistakes when assembling the boat skeleton.

When flottimbers and futoks are ready, they are put onA drawing to mark all overlaps in the joins. Mark all you need with a margin of a millimeter. This is done so that in the process of fitting the parts can be more carefully combined.

When everything fits perfectly, you can fastenconnection with nails. They must punch through both parts of the frame. Leave the sharp end bend or rivet. Thus, your self-made plywood boats will be even more durable!

Since to the futocamas No. 2 and 4 the skin is nailed, they should be made with a thickness of 40 mm, and for the rest you can take boards thinner - 30 mm.

Material for the stem

If you want, that at you it turned out good anda solid stem, take oak or elm for it. It is desirable that the workpiece has a bend in the shape of the stem. If it can not be found, then it is made of two parts, as shown in the figure. First, its shape is sawed, and then the edges of the lateral edges are cut at an angle of 25 degrees to the axis of the boat. Before making a boat, you need to study in detail the drawings of boats of the same design.

Making the keel

It is necessary to take a board, the thickness of which is 25 mm, and the length is 3.5 m. Two lines are drawn on its surface, the distance between them is 70 mm. On them, and make a future keel.

Board boards

Two boards sweep to make perfectly flat boards 150 mm wide and 5 m long.

Transom

The rear wall of the stern, where the motor is attached, is called a trench. It is made of a board 25 mm thick. From above, a bar is nailed to it for greater strength of the ship's frame.

Skeleton boat

Homemade boat from plywood forworkbench, where the keel is installed. To him, on the one hand, you join the atersteam and the trench fixed on it, and on the other - the stem. The remaining parts of the boat's hull, such as the stems and frames, are connected with small nails, screws, rivets, in a word, so that according to the master, it will be more reliable to hold.

Everything is checked in detail to excludeskewing of the frame. Especially it is necessary to make sure that the stems and the transom are on the same line with the axis. This check is very easy: on top of them fasten the rope in the tightness and see that this line is perfectly aligned with the axis of the boat. Before the creation of the vessel, it is advisable to look through various self-made boats from plywood, the designs of which are widely represented in ship-modeling magazines.

All joints must be laid with a cloth impregnated with resin. Fasteners with a fabric connect by means of nails. Drive them so that they come out on the other side by five millimeters.

Frames are attached to the keel. They make grooves in which the keel is firmly fixed. Cut them to half a millimeter smaller than necessary, so that in the case of a bevel, it was possible to fix everything. In general, making self-made boats and boats, it is worth keeping gaps in all connections to fit the details already on the assembled frame for its ideal shape. And after that all the connections are firmly fixed with nails, as described above.

Plywood boarding

For plating, the boat is turned over and mulchedframes. That is, their surface is leveled so that the plywood ideally fits. To do this, take a metal ruler or something even and elastic and apply to the surface of the frame. So it will be perfectly clear where you need to shoot the material.

To plywood well bend, it is steamed. You need to pour water into the trough and dissolve the fire under it. On top put a sheet of plywood. Her water steams, and it becomes more pliable. An ideal pattern on which to cut the skin, does not exist, although many drawings of boats and represent them. In any case, these are only approximate forms, because everything is customized individually.

The fibers of the outer layers of the plywood should go along the boat's hull, so it will be much more durable in operation and will not burst when it is clad.

Spackling and painting

For greater strength and avoiding leakageThe boat needs to be covered with a cloth. For this, a cover is sewn, which will cover it to the sides. After that, falshki are made to install them from the outside of the bottom of the vessel. In the frames falshkiley drilled holes for their further binding.

After that, make a putty for the boat. Take the sifted sift through the sieve, pour the resin into it, mix thoroughly until it resembles the consistency of the batter. Then make a spatula and shpaklyuyut whole body of the boat.

Further, the body to the sides is covered twice with hotresin. On a damp coat, dress the previously prepared fabric cover. It needs to be crimped carefully for tight gluing. All the folds are well leveled. After nailing prepared falshki and from the top already fully assembled boat covered with resin in three layers. Then it is turned with a keel down, saw off any unnecessary gaps and take out auxiliary parts, cover with two layers of drying oil with a break in 35 hours. And then painted and decorated at will, like other self-made boats, photos of which can be seen in magazines or in this article.

Vessel registration

Registration of a self-made boat is madeapplying to the GIMS. There should be written application, which indicates the type of the planned vessel, passport data, place of residence and telephone. It is also necessary to attach ship drawings from all projections, indicate all the places where mechanical parts will be installed, in general, all information concerning the product. In addition, you need to attach checks of purchased materials to build a boat. Only after consideration of the project by the commission, the decision on registration of your self-made floating craft will be accepted.
