Bottle Assembly Mechanism
The mechanism we ideated to connect the bottles together took advantage of the screwing bottle cap It consisted of two parts; a wooden structure and the bottles.
Plastic Bottles's neck diameter standard is 28 mm or 52 mm. We designed circular perforations in the wood structure considering that when capping the bottle it would fasten with the structure and at the same time, keep its usual airtight seal preventing water from filling it.

Plywood Structure
We designed a cross lap joint between the plywood pieces that would make up the structure of the Stand Up Boddle.
Next, we selected the bottles that we would use, to achieve the most hydrodynamic shape possible. |

Blueprints for CNC milling
We made the blueprints for each part in Auto CAD and then some renderings in SketchUp to better visualize how the pieces would assemble.
Then, the pieces were cut from one and a half plywood sheets.

Paddle Design
To achieve the best paddle we referenced an already existing paddle to achieve the best performance possible
First we studied the shape of several paddles and chose the one that could be better adapted to be made out of wood
Then we created sketches referencind the rape and angles of the existing paddle

Fin Design
For the fin, we did the same plus we adjusted it to fit in the plywood structure with the cross lap joint.
Testing
We tedted the SUB on the sea. It floats really well (tested with 80kg). The fin should be longer for improved direction, or two secondary fins could be attached.
