My Vessel

The vessel that i did with my group members had a shallow vee. It was also self propelling. It was meant to have a motor and it was made out of acryllic plastic. I chose a shallow vee because it was very simple to make and it would the boat glide easier and faster. I added a motor because i wanted it to be very fast and self propelling. When we tried testing it without the motor it was leaning towards one side so we decided to fill all of the holes with silicon. This must have really helped. It would propel itself and go fast. We chose to use acryllic plastic because it was very easy to use. I think that it was a good model of a marine vessel.

Evaluate

I think that i did well as an individual and we did really well as a group. We had some ups and downs but in the end everything worked out for us. In my opinion the most outsanding member in our group was Fidel Dudi. I do not think there was every any doubt. I played my part and i did well on the investigate stage. I did some of the plan but i was absent for one lesson so i missed out. On design i helped Fidel and i think i did well. We even stayed for Academic support to complete it. In the create i also helped out. Our group leader Fidel did much more than his share of work. I think that we worked well together as a group. I think if i was to assess myself out of 7 overall i would give myself a 4. I think that overall i did a good job on my model. We worked well as a group.
