Study Plans - Schionning Designs

3Hello and thank you for showing interest in our Design.Schionning Marine is a family based Australian business, we are verypassionate about our designs and continually strive to offer the bestoptions to get you out there and make your dream a reality.Choosing the right design can be a real challenge, there are so manyoptions and variations and purposes a boat needs to meet. We will helpyou to determine which design will best suit your lifestyle and purpose,also your budget. We have plenty of options!These Study plans contain a lot of information directed at the “OWNERBUILDER”, the aim being to show you how simple and achievable itreally is and to help you determine whether you will be able to do ityourself. Be assured, hundreds of absolute novices have and are doingit so if you really want to build a boat, go for it, we will help you all theway.If you are NOT an owner builder and would like to buy one of ourdesigns, we work closely with several excellent boat building yards inAustralia and overseas. Using one of these builders to build a customboat for you, rather than buying a molded production boat is veryrewarding, you can get exactly what you want and you’ll be surprisedjust how well priced this can be too. Later re-sale value is high and thequality of a hand build composite boat, built by a recommended builderfar out strips any production process in terms of strength, quality andlightness (therefore performance).We look forward to hearing from you once you’ve studied the followingpages. We have not included kit pricing due to the many variations andoptions so please email or call us and we’ll furnish these on request.Good luck with your research and project!Jeff, Lorraine, Brett and Ben Schionning& Rob Shenn.

5navigation table and also a generous sizedgalley, with ample room for a full fridge andfreezer and plenty of bench space forpreparation. The rest of the accommodationoffers two huge state cabins forward, with theirown private lounge area. The aft cabin is alsoseparate with a smaller lounge. All doublebunks are island beds, leaving a space eitherside, giving a very spacious feel to the bunkarea. There are two heads on board, the mainhead and shower is set centrally in thestarboard hull. In the port hull aft there is aseparate head and shower. This is mainly forthe owners cabin, more of an en-suite but ahuge one.Handling is simple and efficient. All headsailsheets are tracked from the cabin top down tothe cockpit winches. Mainsheet runs forwardfrom the targa to a winch handy to thehelmsperson on the cabin top. The headsail ison a roller furler and the main is a modern,high aspect ratio, radial head sail, dropping intoa stack-pack on the boom, supported by lazyjacks guiding the sail straight in.The rig is quite moderate but with slim hullsand light build, she has a very good power toweight ratio. With a Bruce Number of 1.37, herperformance truly exceeds expectations. Thisproduces a very light, strong cat with a loadeddisplacement of 10800 kg's. She has a veryrespectable 925 mm of bridge deck clearanceand in lightship mode, this only gets better. Ifher payload of 2200 kg is removed (if racingetc), the Bruce Number will increase to 1.47, inthis trim she absolutely flies! Hull shapes arefull with a flat run aft. As the bottom panel isflat, it planes very early compared to a roundbilged hull. Buoyancy is well distributed to stoppitching.Because of her slim proportions we've opted forevery advantage in weight-saving construction.The structural parts of the shell are built usingDuFlex balsa, with honeycomb panels for thefurniture inside. This creates a super-stiff, lightstructure. As on all our designs, we try to keepas many fittings and parts of the boatcomposite, this creates a smooth one-pieceappearance with no fasteners that can leak andsometimes damage the core.Below: Picture courtesy of Clemens and Raghda Moesler.Below: “Palnatoke” built by Custom Marine, South Africa

6Dinghy storage is on composite davits aft of theduckboard, very handy for loading and unloadingdirectly onto the duckboard while still hooked up tothe davits. The duckboard is also a great place todrop the odd mackerel onto, keeping the mess out ofthe cockpit.The Wilderness 1650X is a light, fast cruising cat withall the luxury included in the package. She is light onher feet and a pleasure to sail. Windwardperformance is excellent, with her long hulls and leancabin, she has the safety and speed to be drivenhard and yet retain some of the feel of a light easilyhandled smaller cat. Whether you’re after comfort orspeed, the Wilderness 1650X blends both togetherbrilliantly, utilizing the latest technological advancesin the marine industry coupled with good oldfashioned experience. Inside and out, this vessel ispractical but not at the expense of style or comfort.Welcome to innovative style, practicality andluxury, welcome to the Wilderness 1650X.

10CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEWTHE KITThe Wilderness “kit” consists of 2400 x 1200mm sheets of balsa or foam DuFlex which aresupplied with factory cut scarf joins whichcreate a full strength flush join, no tapingrequired. Once joined (in sheet form) and set,the holding tags keeping the cutout pieces insheet form are cut to release full length panelsand bulkheads.THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESSThe hull shoe parts of the DuFlex andtemporary bulkheads are stood on thestrong-back and the full length shoe panels arefitted over these bulkheads and glued inposition. With this method a hull shoe can becreated in a matter of days. The shoe is thensheathed with full width fiberglass cloth whicheliminates the need for tapes on the joins andgives smooth unbroken surfaces easily fairedwith sanding machines. Copper epoxy typeanti-fouling is applied at this convenient stageand the shoe being small and light is turned byhand. Once the two shoes are complete theyare leveled diagonally and fore-aft then the topparts of the individual and full width Bulkheadsare attached followed by the rest of the precuthull panels. The bridge deck floor follows thisstep. It is precut and has its undersidestiffeners and all associated fairing and sandingcompleted right way up before being flipped,slid under the bulkheads and glued in place.Unlike a lot of “multi-chine” designs, theWilderness have a small section of stripplanking on the hull/deck curve, this roll overgives great advantages in stiffening, softeningthe appearance, seriously reducing windageand quickly shedding green water. Stripplanking has received some very biased andinaccurate press recently, most of our amateurbuilders report it being an enjoyable andunexpectedly simple process. The strip plankeddecks are done on the boat using thebulkheads and a couple of added temporarymoulds. Taping of the internal panel andbulkhead joins would commence at this openshell stage, taping time and effort can begreatly reduced with the use of a ‘Wombat Jnr’wet out machine, (an option available with thekit) the time saved more than pays for themachine. At the same time, away from theshell you could be making your strip plankedcabin roof, forward beam, dagger-boards andcases, rudders and targa bar (if applicable).Once taping of the internal structural joins isfinished and the shell is still open the precutfurniture and cockpit components can beassembled and installed. If desired the largeouter hull panels can be left off which makeseasier access to engine rooms, locker areas andeasier access from the shed into the boat. Therest of the decks are installed, followed by thecabin roof, then the precut cabin front and sidepanels. The Cabin roof moulds are suppliedpre-cut in some of the Kits (or full size paperplots in plans) and this and the forward beamare the only other strip planked parts of theboat.Easy to follow sheets on composite fittings aresupplied in the plans; these save money andgive the finished product a very classy, modernlook. Composite chainplates are extremelystrong, look good (integrated & painted) easyD.I.Y. and no leaks which are inevitable withbolt-ons!FURNITUREThe furniture fit-out is made easy with the stiff,light and easy to work with Phenolic paperhoneycomb panels. Tips are included in theplans on how to form complex attractive curvesquite easily. Precut furniture gives significanttime savings in labour and planning to bothamateur and professionals alike, faroutweighing the cutting costs which are passedon directly from the manufacturer withoutmark-up. Most of the furniture can bepre-assembled on the workshop floor and theninstalled in the boat – an easy way to work!

11SHED SPACE REQUIREDIf space is an issue the Wildernessconstruction process allows a large proportionof the project time to be spent in a smallerwork space than the finished size of the boat.This allows you to build at many of the partsand components in the carport or shed athome then assemble and finish near the water,saving money on rent and time travelling. The“ideal” shed size needs to be 2-3 metres widerthan the boat, 4 metres longer and ideally, theheight should be total boat height plus 1.5 -2.5 metres. The boat height can be quicklyestimated by adding “Draft” to “bridgedeckclearance”, then headroom (normally 1.8-2metres) plus any cockpit bimini’s etc you mightbe adding. In reality, many boats are built intemporary structures or in tight spaces so dothe best you can!Wilderness pre-cut kit panels are joined to generate fullsize hull panels.

121. 2.Permanent and MDF bulkheads are stood on a typicalstrongback. All bulkheads are split at waterline plus400mm for ease of setup and connection to bulkheadupper parts later.Large flat pre-cut hull panels mean a very quick and simpleshoe takes shape. Expensive pre-moulded shoes arenot required for a fast build, and being flat panels thecore is not riddled with air voids which are well known incompounding-type core products.3. 4.‘Bulkhead 0’The flat surfaces on the pre-cut bulkheads guide andlocate the panels. Finishing flush with ‘Bulkhead 0’means the panels are located for length as well. Thebulkheads can be set up higher or lower to suit thebuilder’s preference.5.The six panels in place, two full layers of fiberglass areapplied at this point for extra reinforcing, no further tapingis required. Panels are flat and smooth without thebumps of extra tapes, making for easy machine fairing,no torture boarding required. Work level is mid chestheight at highest for comfort and safety during glassingand6.Shoes are light and easy to handle, the permanentbulkheads being glued in means they are very tough andstable. Pre-cut cradles are now available. At this stagethey are either coated with copper epoxy bottom paint orsanded ready for anti-foul paint. Shoes are leveled andaligned diagonally ready for bulkhead tops.The cross bulkheads are assembled on a flat surfacethen lifted on for a simple butt join and tape. Hull internalis easily accessed for taping of hull joins and bulkheadjoins.

137.8.Top parts of the individual bulkheads are butt joined and taped.Top parts of the MDF bulkheads are attached in preparationfor the chamfer panel installation.9.10.The composite forebeam is installed to provide stability to thebows, horizontal collision webs provide extra safety if thebows are holed.Forward webs are required to support the bridgedeck panel,shown installed here and the sail locker floors stabilize bulkheads1 and 2 for chamfer panel installation.11.12.Chamfer panels installed, many of the internal structures cannow follow.Hull floors and webs create a multi-chambered buoyancyarea isolated for the accommodation. 29 hp to 40 hp saildrives are easily installed with open side and top. Install precutfurniture with plenty of light and air.

20NOTES FROM THEDESIGNER….The success of our designs I feel, stems fromthe practical commonsense approach of a boatbuilder, coupled with many years of live aboardexperience and 50 - 60,000 sea miles in someof the worst conditions in the world. Thisexperience makes one aware of the power ofthe sea and the need for a boat to be able tosurvive these conditions, protect her crewphysically and psychologically as well as beinga fast comfortable vehicle for all the goodtimes. I am sure you will find our designs reflectour sailing and live-aboard experience andwill give you the offshore confidence to sailsafely anywhere in the world. Multihulls are‘beautiful, safe, cruising boats’. We hope youfind them as exciting as we do.This is definitely not the case, similar boat,similar price! Your choice should therefore betowards the boat that suits you best and offersyou good backup and is a good investment. Secondly,we know a lot of people who could not affordtheir boat at the onset so don’t be discouraged.Once you start building it is surprising howyou focus your interest, spare time and moneyinto your new project. With our new ownerbuilderswe suggest they start with theCHOOSING A DESIGN...Choosing a design can be difficult so we hopethat this introduction helps clear the way a little.We’ve taken particular care with the balanceof construction methods in our designs,making them light and strong yet easy to buildin small sections, most of which are manageableby a group of friends when they needturning over and moving. The blend of stripplanking and light flat panels kept in singleplane form, makes building easy and quick andproduces a finished catamaran of classic goodlooks which will not date quickly, giving youvery good investment security.One of the first steps in changing this dreaminto reality is figuring out whether you can affordthe boat (or more likely, how much moneyyou ‘don’t’ have!). Two realities here are,firstly, two similar sized boats with similar displacement,built of similar materials will costthe same to build overall. Designers’ estimatessmaller items which can be built in the garage,carport, (lounge?) etc. These initial items use verylittle material and money but use a lot of time, soat the early stages you can get a lot done whileyou wait for your old boat or car or house etc. tosell. These items are; dagger-boards and cases,motor pod, forward beam and catwalk, cabin roof,rudders, dinghy etc. The experience and confidencegained building these bits speeds up thesecond stage of larger items and gets the wholeproject finished much sooner.WHAT MAKES A GOOD MULTIHULL?Cat design is not just a matter of two hulls floatinga cabin above the water. Only in fairly recentyears have the basic elements of design and anunderstanding of their effect on the use and performanceof the finished boat been understood.The basic principles of good design should all bepresent in the boat you’re considering building orbuying. These will blend together to produce anexcellent Multihull.

21THE BASICS ELEMENTS OF A GOODDESIGN:• GOOD ENGINEERING is obviouslyessential.• FLAT DECKS. The flatter deck lines havea number of advantages. Secure footingwhile reefing, anchoring etc. in roughconditions, life lines are at a sensible protectiveheight instead of set down a level.A flat deck is great for socializing, sunbathingor as a kids playground.• BUOYANCY. Buoyancy distribution is theplacement of buoyancy in the hulls. Ourdesigns have between 50 and 60 separatebuoyancy tanks built into every shellso they are almost unsinkable. Most old“Sailing ability is important. Wefeel that good performance in asailing cat is a real safetyfeature.”designs hobbyhorse a lot making themuncomfortable and inefficient. Modern designshave the buoyancy pushed towardsthe hull ends damping down the hobbyhorsingtendencies and giving a lot moresafety downwind where the buoyant hullsstop nose-diving. Coupled with a lot ofreserve buoyancy high up and forward inthe hulls, this adds an enormous amountof safety and gives you confidence off thewind.• A soft ‘V’d entry, quickly picking upreserve buoyancy with lots of reservehigher up is an ideal combination.• BRIDGEDECK CLEARANCE. HighBridgedeck Clearance is essential. A shortcabin length with long hull overhangs is agood safety feature. Good clearance on acruising cat is 600mm – 800mm, a Performancecat 700mm – 900mm and aRacing cat 800mm – 1000mm. Chamferpanels add high reserve buoyancy andneed less clearance than a similar catwithout them.• SAILING ABILITY ANDPERFORMANCE. Power to weightratios show how well a cat will sail in lightconditions. As wind strength increases,one reefs the power to stay at safeacceptable speeds (this is different fordifferent people). The Bruce Number is acommonly used value and very useful incomparing cats, displacement is notalways reliable and will vary with load. ABruce Number = 1 is very slow, 1.3 – 1.4is a good cruising value, 1.5 – 1.9 reflectsa very fast cat. Boats like the French 60’Tri’s and “Club Med” are running toextremes like 2.3. A light and efficient catcan often sail out of trouble and outrunsevere weather patterns, shorten passagetimes and avoid bad weather by gettingthere in the existing weather window.Most good designs will tack through 90degrees at a speed of 8 - 10 knots whilereaching at 10 - 13 knots comfortablywith Main and No. 1 in 15 knots of wind.Daggerboards are efficient and allow veryshallow draft for beaching. With a strongreinforced bottom as per our designs, it’seasy to run the cats up on any old beach.Should you want shallow keels to protectinboard motors, then a combination ofshallow keels and fixed rudders are agood option, daggerboards would still befitted as usual, giving the best of bothworlds.

22• LOW DRAG. This is a good characteristic.Slim hulls reduce drag and are efficient.A good cruising cat would have a Waterlinebeam to length ratio of 11.5 to 12.5:1. A performancecruising cat 12.5 to 14:1 and a racingcat 14 to 20:1 It is important to note that ALLthese elements must be present in a design tomake any of them valid. For example, a designcan be really good looking, have high bridgedeckclearance, a powerful rig and sail plan andbe built reasonably light and show a fair displacement,but then have an 8:1 Beam toLength ratio. She’ll be a good looking, powerfulboat but it will be impossible to go forward, exceptslowly!There is no reason why a good modern designdoes not have all of these features. If you findsome of these lacking it is usually for the wrongreasons. A lot of cats have very little bridgedeckclearance because the designer is concentratingon a low profile cat which looks good orbeing dictated by interior accommodation andignoring the fact that the boat will pound badlyat sea. This is not only noisy and uncomfortablebut can well be the cause of structural problems.Our designs have been developed around thesepractical elements of good design then we accommodatepersonal comforts and lifestylechoices.Good luck with your research and project, don’thesitate to contact us should you need furtherinformation or a chat about our designs.
