The bow centerboard is back in a smaller version.
I had killed her but I have made three ocean passages with bow centerboars, 1989, 2018, 2020 and 2021 in Amfibie – Bris, Exlex of 1.08 beam and Exlex of 2.22 meter beam.
The bow centerboard is a tool I have come to like. In contrary strong wind I with her help can give the boat a lot of weather healm and in good comfort slowly forereach into the strong wind gaining ground.
A good desirable property of a small boat.
I had made a start but the centerboard took up to much space. I did twin keels instead, a good thing as they besides lateral area increases stability and keep the boat above the ground.
The first idea was a daggerboard, a simple device that takes up little space, but the disadvantage is that they do not fold up when hitting things and the are not so easy to control.
Now with the twin keels I do not need so much lateral area in the centerboard I will make an mockup when I turn the boat back on even keel.
Hopefully the extra 20 cm I have given myself will be ample.

Sven Yrvind

Hi My name is Sven Yrvind. I design, build and cruise small boats. 1962 I left Sweden in 15 feet converted Blekingseka. I soon found out that there was room for improvement. To understand the basic I began to study mathematics and engenering. 1968 I sailed to England via many contries in a converted 13 feet rowing boat. People told me I be more happy on a bigger boat. November that year I found a wreck an old steam launch build 1885 I converted her to a staysail schooner and sailed her to Rio de Janeiro. That voyage advised me that a bigger boat do not bring happiness, happiness is an inside thing. I designed a 6 meter doubble ender built her in my mother basement. Tried to sail around Cape Horn with her but was capsized and pitchpoled. Later I built an 5.9 meter boat in her I rounded Cape Horn in the southern winter June 1980. I have continued to design, build, and cruise small boats often in high latitudes. Please support me on my donation button on my site yrvind.com
