19 August 2022 It is an epoxy needle the advantage, it has the same diameter as the string.
I keept you in suspension. To tell the truth I thought that I was going to do the real thing today but then I realised the bow was not strong enough. So instead I made a trial run just to show tha principle and I am at the same time reinforcing the bow nea...

18 Aug 2022 The controlling lines for the centerboard The final test. + Bonus
It is important that the controll lines for the centerboard runs smothly and do not interfere with each other. Normally a centerboard only have one control line relying on gravity to lower the board. Exlex is however desinged for heavy weather, designed in...

17 August 2022. Several kind people have expressed concern about the pressure of the expanding foam.
The centerboard trunk did withstand the pressure of the expanding foam with a good margin. To tell the truth I did not think that it would be a problem but when surfaces are concerned even a small pressure over many square centimeter gives a lot of force. ...

16 August 2022. Foaming the port and starbord sides of the bow.
Now the foaming is nearly complete. I have been back to Anders to get more polyurethane with my bicycle the cans fitted well into the basket. Peter have been helping me with the mixing. Things have to be done quickly. We could have been done it faster afte...

15 August 2022 Something about the polyurethane foam.
Today a mix of different small jobs. I have been to the polyurethan factory to get more infofrmation aboaut the foaming and a sample to test the product. As with other chemical reaction once you have mixed the ingredients it is no going back. Also I have b...

14 Aug 2022 Port side and securing centerboard disk.
Regarding the bow todays work is much the same as yesterday but for the port side of the bow. It went well. In adition I put a strip of glasfibre between the hull and the the trunk covering it with peel ply. Also just to make sure I put six 12 mm G11 rods ...

13 August 2022 preparing for for filling the bow with high density 2 component polyurethane foam.
I plan to fill the bow with high density 200 kilo per cubic meter expanded two component polyurethane foam. That will increase the strenght of an already strong boat, but thats not the reason I am doing it. The reason is to make the boat clean with no hidd...

12 August 2022 The centerboard is in place and works to my fully satisfaction.
The centerboard is now in place and works to my fully satisfaction. I belive it is the best centerboard ever that I have done. There is no fulcrum pin that is difficult to get at. The control lines are fully accesible. Even if the should break the center...

11 August 2022 Opening the slot very carefully as not to damage the trunk sides.
Today I have opened the laminated slot with care as not to damage the trunk sides. All went very well. I finished with sandpader on a piece of wood to get the outside laminate in line with the inside of the trunk. If you’re interested in contributing lin...

10 August 2022. Reinforcing the bottom of the CB trunk with 5 more in addition to the 2 yesterday.
The two layers of glassfibre I did yesterday with the boat on even keel is now supplemented with five more 450 gram. It is so much more easy to work with the help of gravity that I suggest that anyone starting to build a boat first figure out how to rotate...

9 August 2022 Closing the CB slot temporalily to prevent epoxy from enter the trunk when laminating
Next step is to laminate the bottom oc the centerboard trunk and get it attached to the outside laminate. To do that I like the boat to be upside down. That makes the work so much better. But with the boat upside down NM-epoxy will get into the centerboard...

8 August 2022 The centerboard trunk gets Divinycell and thick NM epoxy from outside to be strong
Yesterday the centerboard trunk was fixed in lined up position. Today I turned the boat upside down and filled the gaps with Divinycell and thickened NM-epxy. This metod of building boats is so very easy and gives so good results that it is terrific. Tomor...

7 August 2022 The weight and installing of CB trunk +bonus improving the bycycle light
The centerboard trunk is now in place. Its six degrees of freedom are gone she is now fixed in the relation to the boat. I lined her up as good as I could. I do not think it is ultra important. A boat moving on a wavy ocean is not a symmetrical object. Bon...

6 August 2022. The last lamination on the trunk. Most easy so far.
Today I did the last lamination on the centerboard trunk. The most easy of them all. Tomorrow it will be exciting. Hopefully I can put the trunk in the bow of the boat and get it lined up in all three degrees of freedom. If you’re interested in contribut...

5 August 2022 A simpler way of doing fillits use the brush.
Doing fillets and laminate the starbord side of the centerboard trunk. There are many videos on how to do fillets. They tell you to put the thickened epoxy in a bag, cut a corner of it and squise the epoxy into the place then use a tool with the appropriat...

4 August 2022. Just a small step, nothing much.
Here is one more step in making the centerboard trunk strong. The foreward vertical side gets laminated. Part of it is open as the bow will be part of the trunk to bet as much as possible space for the control lines. If you’re interested in contributing ...

This video shows the result of laminating the aft pat of the centerboard trunk. The fore side is planned to be donne tomorrow. After that it is time for the port and starboard side. By dividing the job into many small ones it becomes simple and I have more...

2 August 2022 Cutting the CB in G 11 epoxylaminate. A mistake and a close call on the CB-trunk.
With the mockup as a pattern I draw the shape of the centerboard on the G 11 epoxylaminate. It is very hard and difficult to shape but modern tools like jigsaw blade covered with carbide-tungsten grit made it much more easy than outherwise would have been....

31 July 2022. Sam Holmes and Yrvind talks about structures, beams, I-beams, the Divinycell advantage
Divinycell sandwich construction is amazing. It gives you strenght, insulation and flotation all at once. Shore a metall boat is strong but you have to insulate it well especially if you intend to sail in high latitudes. Do not let there be any cold spots ...
