BOWMAN AEROBOAT 1
By: Tony Bird Date: March 20, 2019, 7:37 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
A friend has recently bought a Bowman Aeroboar 1 which is a
rubber powered launch 32" long and I am going to try and make a
copy of it. First a drawing was made from templates taken from
the hull.
[attachimg=2]
After the hull sides were cut they were bent to shape using
weights (bricks) after having been steamed.
[attachimg=3]
The frame spacer and transom were made.
[attachimg=4]
I am not very good with computers so this is a bit of a try-out
for me using a new system. If I have got things correct I will
continue later.
Regards Tony.

I like your way of bending the sides. I started a Polly Wog a
while back, and the sides didn't bend evenly, so I have to start
over, and this time I'll use your brick trick.
