Hello.
I'm trying to develop a reproduction of a 3mt Sampan of Hong Kong.
This is a traditional local type. Originally used with sails, now motoring.
I attach some pic of my design and of the original boat.
I kept all the peculiar features of these kind of vessel: large overhangs, sampan bow, max beam quite aft, bow and transom in the water. The large opening in the transom is due to the use of a motor, but I would like to add a deep rudder (hopefully rising) and a junk rig of around 7 square meters (Halibut rig?)
What do you think? Opinions and questions are welcome.
