Thread: OozeGooze - pdgoose version of Ocean Explorer

Howdy ...
They are pretty nice plans.

The building part is entirely by Perttu Korhonen.

We started collaborating with the Ocean Explorer.

But most of the building stuff was by Perttu - who thought of the boat and built it before I knew anything at all.

He is a professional wood engineer and works with Computer Aided Design (CAD) regularly for the design of wooden structures.

The design is fully his, but as he used the rig and foils from the OzRacer (formerly Oz PDRacer) either he had to steal the designs or talk to me.

So being a good chap ... he talked to me and I supplied the information on those parts to his plan package.

I did make some suggestions for simplifying the hull structure, though they were relatively minor though might save a useful amount of labour and some smaller amount of materials.

With the Ooze Gooze it was a little bit more of a collaboration as we had to work out a new bottom rocker after seeing the videos of the standard Oz Goose. It was OK for a dayboat, but needed a lot more rocker to keep the bow and stern more out of the water.

But the structure is about 98% Perttu as are the instructions for building the hull. I again supplied the spar and foil info.

No apologies needed for giving me too much credit!

But I was feeling in a writing mood ... and it is a nice little story.

Best wishes

Quite intreating times

Perttu

Most excellent!

Great job and perfect timing. I've been trying to get my son motivated to build the OozeGooze for months. And what’s even better he wants to do the 2013 Texas 200. Seeing this post just may be what gets him started.
