HI friends.
Today I have done different things.
During my evening walk I realised that to get most force from the reefing line to the sail the lines must be parralell. Easy to understand if you are familiar with vectors. Vectors is a concept useful to sailors.
By mowing the parts closer together I achived the desired result. At the same time it permitted me to make the boom a tiny bit shorter.
Also I put the string on to the rope hinge. Very easy, quickly done.
Also to screw down the seat that is the lid for the storage below the seat I have made two M8 bronze nuts. Even one M6 is strong enough but just to make shore. Stainless screw is not good in a stainless nut as it can seize up. That would be bad at sea. Bronze do not do that.
To make the screw find the thread more easy the nut is countersunk then there is a 10 mm lenght of 8 mm hole to straighten the screw. Finally there is an 6 mm hole to fasten it to the side.

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
