Fishing boat designs: 1. Flat bottom boats (Revision 1)

The purpose of this publication is to present some basic designs of boats that are simple to construct, for use in small-scale, non-industrial fisheries. All the designs shown here are of the flat bottom type; that is: the bottom is flat when seen in the transverse direction, while lenghtwise there is a slight curvature. In the majority of the present designs, the shape is simplified to the extent that the sides are built up with parallel planks and the rocker of the bottom is determined simply by the curvature and the flare of teh side planks, so no building jig is necessary.
