MrWolf 0 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 interesting -who designed your amas mr wolf? in conjunction with the old Cochrane design, and looking at every picture of BMW Oracle we could find, the new Amas are designed by Tim Clissold of TC Design.

ScottiE 174 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 vertical stripped foam? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrWolf 0 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 vertical stripped foam? Foam is softened with a Infrared heat lamp then bent in , in sheet form. Then sewn in place. I understand this is the way Dragon was done as well as Dirty Deeds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 cool - I'd be very interested in seeing that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Me too. Where is she being assembled? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrWolf 0 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Sorry guys, I'm gonna keep putting up photo's. I don't really like Gary to get too many distractions and there are details I would like to keep confidential just at this stage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 .... and there are details I would like to keep confidential just at this stage. Fair enough. Will there be any photos of the foil construction? or is that the said details? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Id be surprised if you could get a whole sheet in there in one hit even with the infrared. maybe you could take a vid for the interested people? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I formed my Farrier F32 floats with 1200mmW (12mm) airex sheets with industrial heater blankets and it saved heaps of cutting and glueing. Basically allowing the heat to be kept uniform over the entire width while it was pressed into the mould - then once the foam was secured in place I'd take the heat blankets off and let it cool in place. For the Farrier builds, most use 150mmW to 300mmW vertical foam strips with IR or heat guns to warm the foam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The shape of the new amas has really very few tight curves in it. Sure, in some places the sheet width has to be reduced. And there will be a join at the deck line. In most places the foam goes in , in quite wide strips up to 1200 mm wide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will there be any photos of the foil construction? or is that the said details? we are going to be building a curved foil case mould as well as female moulds for the foils them selves. This way if others want a set we can sell them some. I will be making the foils and cases at Hall Spars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScottiE 174 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 In most places the foam goes in , in quite wide strips up to 1200 mm wide. So actually its still just vertical stripped but the strips are 1200 wide (and presumably a little less at bow/stern if needed to achieve a tighter curvature). Eamon - sounds like your putting in 'whole' sheets - ie. 2400 lengthwise? If so I'm thinking wastage is a little worse with Eamon's - though you could use it up in bunks, furniture etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
