I’m planning on shaping a noserider based on Takayama’s In The Pink. Trouble is I live in Taiwan and I can’t easily get my hands on one for a detailed inspection, so I’m hoping some one out there can help me out with some specifications.
This is what I’ve discovered online so far:
Over all Dimensions : 9’2" 23" 3 1/16"
Nose width: 18.5" @ 12" and 24" @ 20.5" from nose (would like to confirm that)
Tail width: 15.75" @ 12" … would like to know width of square section at the tail end.
Rails: 60/40 rails and a harder edge towards the tail beggining from behind the side bitters.
As I understand, the rail crossesction is more boxy but slightly pulled out to a pinch but then rounded off… how would you describe the rails?
Deck Contours: Slightly domed deck
Bottom Contours: Tear drop concave under the nose (dimmensions? How deep? 1/8"?)
The tail is rolled to 2/3 of the way up? How pronounced is the roll? Is it a continuous curve across the bottom or more a V that has been rounded?
What happens where the tear drop concave blends into the rest of the bottom deck…does the rolled bottom come all the way up?
Rocker: Generally flat rocker…looks like it turns up a bit closer to the nose from maybe 2ft back? Nose and tail rocker height?
All the above info I got from searching the net, so if anything is obviously wrong please let me know. Thanks
