XF20 Scantlings Update pdf  print  E-mail
Wednesday, 17 August 2005
Considering the way your builders use their XF20, we increased the scantlings for the bottom and framing.

For the bottom panel, we now use 1708 instead of 12 oz. biaxial 45/45. Same number of layers but an option for "oyster bed crushers" is now listed: one extra layer of 1708 outside.

For the frames, seat tops and casting deck use one layer each side of biaxial as opposed to what is specified on the old plans. All plans printed after August 2005 list the new scantlings.

The boat was sufficiently stiff and strong as designed but the extra layers will provide more resistance to abrasion and groundings.
