During the Sea Perch Conference, the Sea Star Surface Craft was unveiled. The Surface Craft project is intended to introduce students to the basic concepts of hull design, and related concepts such as bouyancy, center of gravity, center of bouyancy, righting moment, fluid dynamics, drag, etc. It is based on the forming of a hull out of foam, allowing students to experiemnt with varied designs. The motor and radio control system are easily moveable from one hull to another. Below are the documents for building the Sea Star Surface Craft. These are still under development, so comments and suggestions are appreciated. Advanced Sea Perch documents will be posted soon.
