Description

Making model steam boats provides everything you need to design, build and sail your own steam launch. Learn about all aspects of boat design, from the inner workings of the engine to the finishing coat of paint. Explore topics such as hull dynamics, propeller selection and boiler capability, along with information on engine performance, boiler safety and hull design. Follow the plans to build a simple screw-driven launch, a fast patrol boat or a twin cylinder paddle steamer. The technical information and theoretical calculations provided explain how boats are designed and allow builders to progress to creating their own models. Making a live steam model boat requires a broad range of skills including machining, silver-soldering, sheet metal work, woodwork and finishing. Part of the enjoyment of model boats comes from this variety of skills and all the required techniques are explained in full.
