Development of lines plan drawing of Malaysian traditional fishing boat

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.
