A video of the lamination that was made today.'
Some corrections of the facts in video:
The temperture was 27 degreas when we started.
When the temperature was decreasing the air in the foam cells shrinks and sucks the epoxi into them.
Mixing ratio is...
Today i removed the peelply, draw a reference line a bit above the waterline with the help of the laser. Lifted her up, got rid of the frames for the mold and turned her over on even keel.
To make it less riscy to bend the panels I made cuts in them. I am not shure it was neccessry but Divinycell breaks without warning and thats scary and no return
Most people devide life into work and free time. I like my what I am doing therefore I do it also on saterday and today its time for the fillits. Epoxy arriwed yesterday just in time from NM they always deliver very quickly
Stem without measurments. Just force rhe panels together with a string and my homemade tensioner. Where the panels meet cut with a saw. Repeat to they tuch from bottom to top. Then glue, then laminate on inside and outside. This metod is also good for wood...
Yesterday to guide my decicion about bedlenght I planned to cut my bed to 180 cm previus boat was 185 plenty. However I like to test the limits, being 168 long I tryed 169 cm giving me 1 cm spare. This nights sleep made clear that +45 mm might be better. A...
As a child I asked grand mother, I had heard about tum Swedish for inch, is it much I asked. It much on nose she said. 4 centimeter on a bed is not much but it made a huge difference. Now the home bed is as comfortable as I like. Yacht design is an iterati...
Nothing have broken. At the start from Ålesund Norway was food for a year and water for 180 days. With just 4 square meter sail area that made her slowly at the beginning
Every boat teaches me valuable lessons. I learned a number of important things from Exlex 2020. In the high latitudes near Island the temperature was low. Thanks to Divinycell the living area was free from condens, but the hatch coamings were cold spots. U...

Above is a link to how I made the mixture 2018 if I remember.
Most passages will be less than 10 000 miles but I like not to be limited. 180 kilos will be no problem. 3.14 knot is an estimate. Trials wil...
Most men wants bigger and bigger boats. Once I listened to the grown ups singing that song. I bought the wreck of a 40 feet steam launch built 1885, converted her to a staysail schooner and sailed her to Rio de Janeiro.Two links to boats in the video.https...
There is not much space in the foremost part of the boat. To find a place for the hatch she rides on a string to the port side of the hull. This is a mockup but it seams to work wery well
Nowadays most cruisers sail around with a lot of ballast. There is a cheaper, more gentle way and that is to use boyancy to get rightning moment at large angles of heel. It air does not cost anything. It weighs nothing. As it does not make the boat heavy. ...
When working with the forward bulkhead I had the idea that I should make tooling for all the 5 hatches. When I measured the space for the aft hatch I found there was not enough space on aft deck. I decided to move mizzen mast further aft. I saw that that e...
