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...

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...

Ballast boxes for mowing lead, first step.

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...

Mowing ballast. The westerly gales south of Cape Horn demands good stability. 84 kilo mowable lead.

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...

Rotating masts, the bearings and dranige.

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...

Poor mans wing mast. By turning the sail track to the lee side turbulence is reduced.

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...

Bulkhead infusion of NM-epoxy in aft and middle.

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...

Dining room biginning of, unfortunately 20 cm Divinycell is missing. A joint is the solution.

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...

Todays lid I find very good. Some minor tweaking I will do to get her even better.

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 ...

Making good progress, but will continue to simplify the latest idea

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...

A go through again with the help of Peter and the stick problem.

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...
