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. |
