Plating thickness equations & data.

s = frame spacing (mm)

L = rated length (m)

s a = 0.5*modulus of rupture (N/mm2)

Bottom plating basic head multiplying factor.

, d = Tc

F=1.8, 0.25H from keel

F=1.2, 0.05Lwl & 0.35Lwl aft of FP

F=0.7, at aft end of Loa

Topsides plating basic head and multiplying factor.

, fl = local freeboard

F=1.08, 0.05Lwl & 0.35Lwl aft of FP

F=0.63, at aft end of Loa

Maximum frame spacing calculations.

for Western Red Cedar

, fl =1.4m, this is the worse case \ used for whole boat.
