Dimensions and choice of components

- Session summary:
Beginning of the technical design of the boat with determination of its dimensions and basic components.

- What we did:
We defined the dimensions of the boat: 35 cm long, 12 cm wide and 8 cm high, to accommodate the mechanisms.
The main material will be wood, with plastic elements for the glazing.
Two motors were chosen: one for propulsion (forward/reverse) and one for rudder (steering).
Beginning of the boat sketch.

- Results / Progress:
First draft validated, with consistent choices on materials and components.

- What we need to do now:
Finalize sketch views (bottom, side).

- What we'll do next time:
Complete the sketches with all the views required for modeling.
