Header Photo: Aussie Historical 10-Footer - White Knuckes
The classic Aussie 10 footer is the only other class (other than the Classic Moth) to be featured more than once on the header photo. This photo embodies a facet of the sport that is a combination of crazy balls-to-the-wall, close-to-the-edge racing whilst sailing on a beautiful all-wood classic dinghy.
The lines to the Aussie 10 footer are also classic; a deep, roundish hull with enough flotation to accommodate three grown adults and a big rig in a ten foot dinghy.
For reference the waterlines are set at 60 mm, and the buttocks at 125mm. Stations are spaced at 305. 610, 1219, 1829, 2438, 3048 mm. At the transom, the 1/2 width is 689 mm and the max width (not on a station) is 816 mm.

Looks like Tweezer...
ReplyDeleteBill,
ReplyDeleteNot quite. I hope Tweezer looks more modern. (After all it was designed in the new millennium.)
For comparison, Tweezer's hull lines.
ReplyDeleteI'd like a copy of the dxf file, we're rejuvenating a 10'er & could use the lines to reconstruct elements
