Can't imagine your life without the water element? If you want to have a nice and profitable time, secure an exciting period in your life by starting the construction of the yacht.
Foreword
If you prepare for the process of building the yacht carefully and with great enthusiasm, then the time will come and you will triumphantly go aboard your ship to embark on it for the first trip across the water.
First you need to choose a project, after having studied as much literature as possible on a topic of interest.
Rainbow perspectives
Actively searching for the optimal project, you will approximate the time of construction of the yacht. It will change the usual course of your life, allow you to discover new perspectives and horizons. You can go on a romantic trip or arrange unforgettable days of family vacations, invite friends or indulge in thought alone, communicating only with the blue element.
After the construction of the yacht, you will ride "with the breeze", you can dive from the side of the ship in a quiet harbor, taking a scuba gear with you. You can go water skiing or just go fishing for fun.
New secrets and shores will reveal their secrets for you.
Where to begin
If you are considering a budget option for building a ship, we recommend taking material such as plywood. In addition to affordable cost, it is distinguished by indicators of strength and lightness.
When choosing drawings of structures made of plywood, pay attention to the availability of such information as:
- knot drawings;
- drawing parts;
- A description of the assembly methodology, which will be available even for beginners.
Dreams of a yacht are familiar to many men in order to conquer water open spaces on it. Not everyone can afford to build a fiberglass yacht. This does not mean that desires are not destined to come true. It is necessary to make efforts, spend time, study yacht construction projects, but as a result it will be possible to create a masterpiece that will surpass expensive ships in quality and beauty.
You do not have to start with large-scale projects, but complete a simple product. Then you can understand the principle of creating a yacht and realize it in kind.
About the features of the building
There are two ways to implement the plan for building a motor yacht. It is much easier to carry out the main process if you previously complete the maximum preparatory work on creating blanks. It’s harder to work from scratch.
In the modern shipbuilding market, there are many specialized companies offering varieties of such assembly kits, which include a list of necessary parts. Of these, the construction of a motor yacht will be carried out directly.
To ensure that everything is done correctly, the blanks are accompanied by detailed instructions and drawings. In addition, it is important to know about the correct assembly and strict adherence to the manufacturing technology of the vessel.
Choosing a purchase option
If you decide to purchase ready-made items and assemble a yacht from them, you will be interested to know that pre-sale preparation is carried out for all parts.
As a rule, in production, the model is completely assembled to check the quality of the fastening of the joints and the compliance with the dimensions, and then the vessel is disassembled, packaged and sent to the customer. The buyer will have to complete the assembly process again and be sure to glue the structure as indicated in the manufacturer's recommendations. To do this, you will need to carefully study the information provided on the construction of the yacht with your own hands.
Choosing a more difficult path
If you decide to work with the independent construction of yacht boats from scratch, it will be much more difficult. But no less interesting. Just with this choice of actions, everything will depend on your attentiveness and skills. If you are well prepared and armed with a wealth of knowledge, self-building a yacht can become more profitable for your budget.
Do not forget also that to create a ship you will need special equipment on your own.
Stages of building a ship from scratch
First of all, when building boats, boats and yachts, take care of the availability of a spacious room, where the process of creating a masterpiece, called the boathouse among professionals, will take place directly. Get the necessary tools and equipment. It’s better not to save on this, because you want to get a quality result. In addition, it is important the amount of time that can be spent with a decent workplace equipment.
Assemble the slipway according to the size of the vessel. This is where its installation will be carried out. In the process of creating a platform there is a laying of beams of coniferous wood on a plot of flat prepared surface. This is done in rows of two, followed by dressing the structure and obtaining a surface that will be located exactly horizontally.
Continuation of work
Take care of the preparation of project documentation. Its independent development is practically impossible for an inexperienced specialist. In order not to risk materials and the final result, it is recommended to entrust the preparation of project documentation to specialized organizations.
Also around the clock at your service is the Internet, where you can study not only the drawings, but also the design of the yachts, read useful information and feedback from experienced people on this issue.
We are preparing materials
Prepare lumber. This is a very important stage of construction work, as the better it is organized, the higher the strength and navigational qualities of the future yacht will be.
To create a design, pick up two types of lumber: from a knotless board of coniferous wood and a bar of harder wood (oak, ash).
It is important that the moisture level of the wood is not more than 12-20%, which provides protection against deformation. On the slipway, mark the line of the pin and the place of the theoretical position of the frame frame. According to these signs, installation work will be carried out with all structural elements of the vessel.
Assembly
You can assemble and glue the frame frames in accordance with the contour of the vessel. This is done on a special type of fixture, which is a template.
Creating a frame
Mark the working plaza on plywood with a thickness of 10 to 12 mm. If you want to simplify the task, create closed frames with the content of deck beams.
When assembling the frame frame, which has a transverse shergen-bar, use special screws. For assembly, provide yourself with special stops that will fix the position of the frame depending on the initial marking.
Please note that in the formation of all bulkheads, they must be combined with the frame frame, and sometimes its replacement. To set the stem stock, it is important to maintain the angle of inclination relative to the horizon.
To collect the keel beam, select the timber of solid wood and fasten to the surface of the stem with a button, and to the surface of the flora with screws and glue.
For the manufacture of stringers, select glued pine slats and mount them on the surface of the stem and frames with self-tapping screws and glue.
The installation of stringers is completed by the mandatory shallow procedure, which is performed to identify all discrepancies with the contours of the vessel and eliminate defects.
When the casing is created, take a sheet of bakelized plywood and cut it according to the template. Then they are mounted with stringers on glue and self-tapping screws, slightly drowning them inside the plywood.
Checking the quality of work
Installation of the casing is completed, now it is necessary to conduct a series of control measurements of the contours and treat the surface along a single radius.
An abrasive tool must be used to remove bakelite varnish . To give rigidity and tightness to the surface, the lining must be glued in several layers with fiberglass T1-GVS-9. An epoxy composition is taken for this purpose.
When the first layer has hardened, paste the surface with fiberglass with a base of polyester resin. So do up to ten layers.
Pick up the deck
Turning over the base of the yacht, they proceed to the longitudinal deck set, where the deck deck is installed. In order for the layers to be strong and tight, it is important to glue the body with fiberglass, alternating it with epoxy and polyester binders.
Grinding and priming
When all layers have hardened, it is necessary to grind and primer the resulting surface. To carry out painting work, a special moisture-resistant paint is selected, which will provide maximum protection against sea water. Then the surface is forcibly dried.
Final stage
It remains to complete the interior decoration, install additional equipment and a complex of sailing weapons. These procedures are performed when the final stage of construction work has begun. If you want the yacht to have a power plant, contact a specialist. This stage is especially responsible, as it requires additional knowledge.
We assemble the yacht for blanks
If you decide to quickly achieve the result and not risk taking all the construction work “from scratch”, purchase the factory blanks of the yacht and assemble the ship yourself, following the recommendations regarding the construction of the yacht for the assembly kit. This is similar to the assembly of the designer, only more responsible and requires clarity and reliability of all fasteners.
We are preparing documentation
Before starting work, it is also important to carefully study all the documentation provided in order to prevent serious errors that may be fatal in the end. Explore self-built yacht designs.
Build a yacht, starting with the fact that previously combine the frames and keel. A satisfactory result will be shown if it is possible to assemble this design in the form of an integral connection.
Vessel sheathing
Install the springers on the frames. They will be used to fasten the skin of the vessel, which consists of a special type of plywood that is resistant to moisture.
Please note that this assembly requires a traditional position. It is required to set the ship keel up. This will achieve the required level for dimensional accuracy. You can also create the shape of the perfect contour of the vessel.
Thanks to the skin of a special type of plywood, which is resistant to moisture, provides high strength in creating the design of the vessel.
To provide a seal, fiberglass can be used. It will be mounted on the surface of a special moisture-resistant epoxy composition. Sizing is carried out in several layers. After everything has dried, a uniform waterproof surface will be obtained.
To ensure attractive appearance and create additional protection, treat surfaces with special varnishes and waterproof paints.
To paint the inside of the yacht, you will also need waterproof paint. After that, you can lay the deck.
Testing
The final stage of work is to complete the hull, complete the vessel with necessary equipment and sailing equipment. It is imperative to conduct tests in a working environment. This is a necessary condition in order to ensure safety and to reveal the seaworthiness of the vessel. It is important to timely eliminate some shortcomings and shortcomings.
Afterword
To build a ship completely, you need to tune in to a large amount of work with an increased level of responsibility.
Provided that the sailing yacht is properly operated and has proper care, it will delight its owners for a long period.
Discover the versatility of the wonderful world of nature, enjoy your travels. But if you are not ready to build a real yacht, you can think about building your own model of a yacht. This will form the basis of knowledge in order to understand how the yacht is structured and provide a thorough study of the technology, because you can consider the projects of boats and yachts for self-construction. Make up your mind and you will succeed.
