Abstract:
This study is to develop lines plan of Malaysia traditional fishing boat (B-Class)
operated in radius of 5-12 nautical miles from shore. The construction of Malaysian
traditional fishing boat is still un-documented, using the role of thumb and there are no
appropriate drawing and stability evaluation been carried out. In this study also evaluated
to assess the stability of the boat, how far traditional boats using traditional skills to build
a stable boat. The boat manually measured on traditional fishing boat B-class that still
under-construction being the best subject ofto project. The lines plan then been generated
using MaxSurf software program based on some required input. The stability of the boat
calculated using Hydromax MaxSurf software program after the lines plan had been
developed. Finally the last product are to document of lines plan drawing and stability
based on subject that have been chosen before.
