HMS Sharktypus

HMS Sharktypus design schematics.

The HMS Sharktypus is a stitch-and-glue flat-bottom dingy with a Sharktypus paint job which is currently under construction. When complete, it will serve as the principle research dingy of the Bacliff Exploration Society. It is planned to be fully equipped with an inboard weed-eater motor, ham radio, flounder lights, glass bottom, and oar locks shaped like shark fins.

Construction

Under construction in the Bacliff Exploration Society Shipyards.

The designers stopped listening the wood in order to create the landing craft style bow.

The Sharktypus is being constructed in the ESOB Shipyards using the cheapest door skin plywood that money can buy. The builders have embraced a design philosophy which ignores such things are measurements and common sense, in favor of "listening to the wood". This process has led to many innovations which will be studied by naval architects for decades to come.
