The
Fourth Duckworks Design Competition
Deadline: September
1, 2003
Brief
Your wife is mildly amused at you spending hours
on the computer pouring over boat building forums and
the various designs you can view on the web, though only
mildly. You could probably convince her to put up with
you actually building a boat if it resulted in minimal
inconvenience to her. That would mean that she still has
to be able to watch TV, and get to the kitchen, the bathroom,
the bed and the closet even while you are working on the
boat. Each work session would have to end with a full
clean up.
You live in a fifth floor studio apartment in Greenwich
Village. There is not much room, but, you do have
a space 8' x 4' x 2' to store a boat in (it would be nice
to have some of that left over). If your wife is
going to put up with you building a boat, she is going
to want to go for boat rides at least a few times. Most
of the time you would use it by yourself, but you like
to go sailing with a friend. Row, sail, paddle or power,
you want something that can handle two adults and a fishing
pole or a picnic lunch.
Design a boat that can be built in your apartment,
and stored in it. Remember that your wife will happiest
if it is small. On the other hand, you don't want
to spend all your time lugging wrestling it down the
elevator and putting it together, so there will be some
compromising on weight and assembly time. Power
is always a consideration. You might want to sail
with your buddy, but your wife would rather that you
row or paddle, on the other hand, a motor will get you
where you want to go anytime. The pieces for power
take up space and are heavy, but they enhance the possibilities
for use. |
