GRAFFITO - lines plan

GRAFFITO - lines plan. Lines plan only. 5.8 ± 0.1 kg - VPP.

This design is related to the successful DIAMOND hull form and is optimised for best performance in breezy conditions. Builders looking for a boat optimised for light airs should choose IOTA or IONA. GRAFFITO needs to be built light for best performance and we would welcome enquiries form builders able to offer top quality moulded hulls. The carbon/epoxy fin and rudder 370/360 are recommended. The plan shows the suggested layout for foils, ballast and conventional rig.

If you are unfamiliar with the construction of a Ten Rater and do not have sufficient information provided by a lines plan only, then a construction plan will provide a lot of the information you need. We suggest you buy the NIMBUS Mk lll to get this information.

Electronic files

Our plans are not made as CAD files but are a combination of printed output from the Maxsurf hull design program that is used to create the 3D shape and pen and ink addition of information about the appendages and rig. For this reason we cannot send an electronic version of the plan. However we are able to send dxf or iges files, 2D or 3D, output from the Maxsurf program. The 2D files may be of the plan view, the profile view, or the sections. The section view may also show the sections reduced by a 'planking' thickness. If you will be using planking as the method of construction it is important to estimate the planking thickness after the fairing and finishing process has been completed. If you are intending to use the files for creation of CNC machined parts it will be important to specify the spacing of the waterlines, buttock lines and sections.
