Hi everyone.

I discovered that the terms: warp and warping have many meanings in English and are used in many areas.

This is the correct interpretation of the term:
The "warping" is the movement of the vessel when a crew member on board exerts a force on a cable or line fixed to the ground (which may be connected to an anchor, a dead body or a bollard).

So what does it have to do with the lifeboat with good displacement, capable of carrying the ship's large anchor?

Well, in the event that the ship had run aground on a sandbank, in addition to lightening it, as well as causing movements on board to create oscillations, it may be useful to bring the anchors to a certain distance and warping.

I don't know if I was clear.

Sorry, the correct term for the word "tonneggio" I think is "warping". I hope it's clear now what I meant. The word "tonnage" was incorrect and misleading.
For us Italians tonnage means "tonnellagio" (i.e. how many tons and it has nothing to do with it).

As I had anticipated, the previous projects did not completely convince me.

I found some time to redesign a lifeboat from scratch.
After various corrections I found the right and consistent water lines for the hull.
As usual, I reported the drawing of the keel and the frames on an A4 sheet in PDF format, for the subsequent cutting of the wood.

In the photos you can see some steps and the current state.

For this lifeboat I thought of a shorter but wider shape. I couldn't make it longer (like the side ones for example) due to space problems. I wanted it wider to allow greater displacement.
I imagined that at least one lifeboat of this type would be useful on board.
I thought it would be useful for the commander to have a lifeboat available to carry an anchor.
Do you think it was useful? Question of the day without AI.
I think it could prove useful for tonnage the ship. Did I use the right term? Does anyone understand what I mean by tonnage?
Maybe that's not the correct translation.

Good evening to all ship model builders.

I have finished the hulls of the two test boats (made of cardboard).
The models are not well finished, they were made quickly just to have a rough idea of ​​any errors.
The second boat has several small errors, frame no. 5 must definitely be completely eliminated.
I am not convinced yet, I think I will start drawing again to find something that convinces me more in shape.
As for dimensions, however, I think they are fine. At most a centimeter and a half centimeter shorter.

ALESSANDRO
the pleasure is all mine!!!!!

Thank you so much Hermank, I'm glad you like it.

Que belloooooooo!

Yes Ross, it's brass.
I also use electronics cutters.

The problem was that tweezers don't exist (or I've never found them) smaller than a millimeter and they can't make bends under a millimeter. I couldn't shape them as I wanted.

...continued from the previous message.

Here is the second one, this one, already from the skeleton, checking the frames, presents some problems.
With the laying of the paper planking I will see if it is a small mistake (for which it will be enough to ignore one or two frames) or if it will be necessary to redo the drawing better (without haste and more calmly).

This paper model idea was not a good idea.

...continued from the previous message.

As for the other two central lifeboats I thought of creating paper models to check if the hulls were correct.
Instead of checking it on the computer, thinking it would be quicker, I thought that making a paper model would save me time.
I made a big mistake because it took a long time.

Here is the first one.
The planking is missing (which I will make in paper) but already from the frame it seems quite coherent.
The keel and frames are made by overlapping several layers of cardboard with a thickness of 1/5 mm (0.2 mm).
