Catamarans specifically, boatbuilding in general

I am not sure I understand why boatbuilding of Catamarans, one point of view, should be featured so prominently, when a more diverse and neutral point of view is possible. Perhaps we can discuss and collaborate? BruceHallman 21:35, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

merge with Boat Building Process

I think this would be a good merge. BruceHallman 17:33, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the merger. Boat building process deals with a specialism within boatbuilding - the moulding of laminated plastic boats. It is one of a set with Clinker (boat building) and (potentially) Carvel (boat building), double diagonal and so on. However, I think the title might be changed to make its position in the set clear. Boat building process is too general a title for the material the article contains. I suggest Fibre-reinforced moulding (boat building). That would allow the inclusion of glass fibre and carbon fibre reinforcement.

Also, I think the article should be re-written to make it less of a description of the practice within one firm and more one of the laminated moulding of boats generally. (RJP 13:12, 5 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Disagree with merger, see reasons on Talk:Boat building process. --Knotnic 13:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Changed the title of that article to Fibre-reinforced moulding (there is no need for the "(boat building)" part as there is currently no other article with this title.) Please change title as needed. I'll also remove the merge tag, as that article is clearly about a specific process, and would clutter this one with unnecessary details (Liberatore, 2006). 18:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC) Changed again into {{Copyvio}}... (Liberatore, 2006). 18:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can add also sewed boat - planks + roots, please look at The building of a sewed wooden boat

I don't see anyway that it passes the external links guidelines and I've assumed it's being spammed. but thought I should check in. Is there something I'm missing?

You are doing the right thing. --- Skapur 00:43, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

new person adding: how exactly do I build a boat using polysterene?

Nice bottom

Since I can't find Swallow, worth a mention she was first to have her copper bottom sheathing entirely fastened with copper bolts, 1770? Montgomery Savage, Man of Copper 06:04, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
