Here you can see me mowing the lead weights.
First I thought I would lean with my chest against a webbing..
Now I realise that using the other arm as a support for my back works just fine. Nothing like the the real thing when finding out how things work.
I...
Now Peter is filming me cutting out the lids. Here I have to be careful as the two created sides is for keeps. However it goes well.

Now I have started making the lids for the lockers in the dining room. I have to keep many things in my head at the same time to get everything to function smouthly. Hopefully it will work out.

With two handles the 14 kilo lead weights will be more easy to mowe even if a sea is running.
Taking time to faciliate operations is a good strategi. The task becomes more easy and are more sooner done then otherwise.
Also yesterday evning the Tufnol sheet...
Often there are seweral different requirements for the same space. Here a seat, 45 liters of water, 84 kilos of mowing lead, stowages, eating utensils place for my feets. With the help of the non protuding locker lids I can get most of what I want.
Then b...
Making better where I can all the time. On each deatil it makes not much difference, but it does have an multipying effect. This way the boat will be much better than if I just followed routine. It is not how quick the boat is build that gives me satisfac...
Instead of they eyes in the cupper pipes here is an other way, having hooks made of M6 bolts.
In the vice it is not possible to bend more than 90° but by using angle iron I can bend the hooks 180°. It is possible to use flat iron but then it is more tric...
Here I show how I am going to keep the lead securely in their boxes. It will be done with strings and knots. It keeps the lead securely still no risk of fatigue.

To mowe the lead as far as possible to the windward side I dig into the 70 mm thick divinycell about 50 mm. That leaves 20 mm. That is plenty for strenght porposes. Yachts 60 feet long usually have 20 mm. As an extra precaution I dubble the carbon fibre. T...
The Cape Horn route demands different sailing properties from the eastabout route to NZ first planned. The NZ route was mainly downwind. Downwind routes do not require so much stability nor sails with low induced resistance. The lug sails would have been O...
Small structures small problems. The mast are about 3.5 meter above deck and carry 3.5 square meter sail. Not more than an Optimist dingy. Exlex the canoe cruiser have much more stability and her intended route will take her into much windier waters. Still...
Now the two aft bulkheads are injected. It went very well. With the longer hose for the rising epoxy laws of nature guaranties no overflow.

As the the Ljungström mast of the rig can be rotated it can increase efficiency of the sail by greartly reduce the turbulence on the suction side of the sail. As most of the lift comes from the suction side the efficiency is much increased.
The Laser mast...
The fillets on both sides of the middle and the aft bulkhead is done. I prepare for the injuction of the NM-epoxy.
last time I made a shameful mistake. The incoming hose was higher than the outgoing. The confused thinking was that I would see the epoxy com...
I got a new idea. This video will try to explain but maybee it is not clear so go to my website Yrvind.com where there is a text that may make it more clear.
However. I came uo with a new rig more easy to reduce sail area with. Also the voyage would be mor...
Working in the dining room with the water containers. The mock up had 60 liters there and 60 liters under the bed. Somehow I thought I get more place in the dining room with 45 liters. I continued to work. The sleep between Dec 30 and Dec 31 got interupted...
Hi friends. Here is Yrvinds constant weight method.
Many people decide on this first day of the new year on a good thing.
Modern life have made us to live a unhealthy life. Gouvernment have told us to eat carbo and many times. Shopping have made us consume...
Now after experimenting with the locker lids I start with the dining room. Unfortunately 20 cm is missing of the Divinycell. Usulally the pieces are longer like 240 cm H 80 But here I am using H 200 that is 200 kilo per cubic meter. Reason is there is goin...
I thank everyone for the suggestions regarding the locker lids. It is good to have people watching over what I do to Exlex the canoe yawl. That way she can feel she gets good handling.
Now I turn my attention to the partial bulkhead between the dining room...
I am very pleased with the results of the latest idea. It is very simple to produce compared to the other ones. Just a grove done by the router to accomendate the pvc pipe and the carbon reinforcement.
To cut it out I just angle the blade of the jigsaw at ...
This new idea I am satisfied with.
The 8 mm polyester rope partly saturated with NM-epoxy makes a very strong rod. The non saturated part is a rope flexible that can bends to go below the deck. The rope in the carbon reinfrced PVC tube behaves like hydroli...
I was pretty sure that the screw solution was the one to chose. However I woke up in the night with one more idea. Hopefully tomorrow I will know if it works.
Sure it is best to do without the screwdriver, but if I can keep track and handle an eating spoo...
Now I can compare the three different hatch lids.
These hatches are not often used. It is important that they give a smooth surface..
The favorite is locked with two countersunk M6 Torx screws. I will use screw down lids for the lockers under the mattras. ...
Again a new idea for the locker lid.
This one the lid is screwed with two countersunk M6 stainless A4 screws, the nut is bronze as to make it not to size. I will also put on some lanolin grease for good measure.
For more information see Yrvind.com. There y...
