<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I have to
chime in that I think the "labor cost" method, as used in the GURPS
building construction rules that I adapted for Wout's site is the most accurate
way to figure this out. It would, as a research project, involve several
steps:</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>1)
Determine the types of laborers required (Foresters, for raw timber, carpenters
and shipwrites (sp?) for construction, sailmakers for rope and sail,
etc). Determine the basic pay per day of labor.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>2) Find
some baseline ship for your modeling. If you have the data for several
ships, all the better as you can make a more accurate model. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>3) For
each ship determine the quantity of raw materials (lumber). Determine
time in man-days to produce the raw materials and multiply by the gatherer cost
(foresters). </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>4)
Determine the number of man-days to build the model of ship, based on quantity
of lumber going into it. Multiply this by some fudge factor to reflect
shipyard quality and vessel quality (degree of ornamentation or
craftsmanship). You need to figure this one out, Scott. Obviously,
certain shipyard cities will get the job done faster. Raw build cost is
labor cost times number of man-days. Increase this labor cost by 25% for
every factor of 5 man days to represent overseers and other overhead (i.e. +25%
for 5 or more, +50% for 25 or more, +75% for 125 or more, etc). </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>5)
Determine man-days to produce the rigging (if any) or ors (carpentry).</span></font>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>6)
Construction time is limited by ship size. Assume no more than 5 men per
10' length+width+depth (Thus, a 50' long by 10' wide by 10' deep warship is
limited to 35 men of work per day -- you cant pile on a thousand men to finish
it in an hour). </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>NOTE:
Time in step 6 may need to be tweaked -- the 5 per 10' was just a number off
the top of my head. You man need to look at historical models to
determine a better number.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
