To promote 'Bezier Design and Construction' True Round steel and aluminum boat building's method I will be redesigning the classic Gaff rigged design, Dark Harbor, for aluminum construction in Real Time.,
(Well, My Real Time)
It is not the objective of this redesign to create a replica of the orginial design but to bring the classic appeal of Dark Harbor into the 21st century with the addition of a propulsion system, Toilet, electonics, enhanced companionway hatch design and a 7/8 fractional rig. while keeping classic charm of the orginial design as shown in Dark Harbor's gaff rigged sail-plan below.
As a measure of success, the feel-performance of the orginial plank on frame design will be compared to the redesigned aluminum version by way of Aero-hydro 'Velocity Prediction Software'.
I am looking forward to having fun with this redesign and your comments. Your comments will help direct me in the many decision that I will need to make the 21st century version of Dark Harbor viable.
