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 links are below. Swish 0706200550

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 the boat. Even 40 feet steelboats can be ro...

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 slot, not a good thing. Therefore I am putt...

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. Tomorrow the next step. If you’re interested in c...

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. Bonus is me adapting the bycycle light so that ...

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 contributing links are below. Swift 0706200550

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 appropriate radius to spread it out. Then use a chisel...

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 links are below. Swift 0706200550

3 August 2022 Laminating the aft part of the centerboard trunk.

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 control over the process. The end result wi...

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. Still it was slow work but not difficult. N...

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 unless you like to spend a lot of feul to ge...

27 July 2022 A sheet for a new mockup centerboard Also Sam Holmes just arrived for visiting me.

The centerboard mockup is nearly good but a bit of tweeking will can still be made. The real centerboard will be made of 10 mm G11 epoxylaminate. I like to try it in the real centerboard trunk. I do not have any plywood left but I do have some pieces of packing. Yesterday night I glued three layer...

26 July 2022. Trying to get the starboard side of the centerboard trunk into position. Not done.

I am trying to get the starboard side of the centerboard trunk int position. A lot more of shaping the side and the slot is required. To fit a three dimensional part is more difficult than to fit a twodimensional part. many more small steps are needed. If you’re interested in contributing links are...

25 July 2022. Gluing upper part of starboard centerboard trunk side using my big clamps. Plus bonus.

Today I have glued the top part of the starboard side of the centerboard trunk. I needed ny deep klamps. They are so heavy that I have to use strenght to handle them. Thanks to keeping fit I had the necessary strenght. Also today you are in luck an extra video about boat size will make you - if you ...

Not much. This work is mostly to put a bottom to the groove. But also to make the upper part even to take the part where the ropes are.

Sven Yrvind

19 July 2022. Not much just a simple homemade device for finding the center of a disc.

I need to find the center of the Tufnol disk I will attach to the centerboard. If the chuck on my lathe was taking larger diameter pieces that would be more easy. I can change the holders in the chuck and then change them back but this method is much quicker. There is no rotation involved so I do n...
