Drawing Numbers 22A,22B,22C, The "Elven" boat for general use:
The "Elven" boat is intended for general use on the lakes and rivers of Little Middle Earth. The boat is 16 feet 6 inches overall length, 5 feet 3 inches beam, and 3 feet 4 inches moulded depth, and with a draught of 1 foot 7 inches aft, and 1 foot 5 inches forward when laden. She is propelled by Elvish paddles, and steered by means of a steering-paddle over the lute stern. She can accomodate six paddlers and a steersman, but can be manned by only two paddlers in good weather and calm conditions. There are buoyancy tanks throughout her length, and a square sail which can be set on a pole mast stepped just forward of amidships. As with the Royal Barge, she has a figurehead in the form of a swan's head and neck. A number of these boats can be built for use as hire-boats for visitor's use, either for hire with a Boatman or without, as they are simple boats and easily handled even by persons with little experience. They would suit well for family excursions. A smaller version of ll feet in length can also be built for use by from one to three people.
I am a Mechanical Engineer born and bred in Britain, but have been living in Spain for many years. I am also a student of Professor Tolkien´s works on Middle Earth, and am at present actuating as a Project Engineer on the Proyecto Pequeña Tierra Media in the Sierra Norte de Madrid. I have designed at present more than 30 items with more than 100 drawings, and will be interested to see comments from other persons interested in the subject.
