Change the angle to increase the distance to the haul down. to get more space for the pully. I will rebuild the mo...

17 July 2022. A new idea for the centerboard. Pivoting but no pin. Can be removed like daggerboard.

Here is a new idea for my centerboard. It solves two big centerboard problems. That they cannot be removed like a daggerboard. That the controling lines are very difficult to acces. The solution is to use a 30 mm thick 120 mm diameter disc attached to the centerboard at the rotating center. It tha...

Good news. A book of mine is now in Russian language. Only the many pictures is understandable. I think it is a good thing that my ideas about small simple boats is being spread wide in the big world. It helps people to sail the deep blue endless eternal sea. That is peaceful, something that is need...

14 July 2022. Turning the boat. Long and boring. But speed it up or just watch beginning middle end.

I got nervous when so many people watched that I messed it up. I tried a short cut but the chain is to short to do it in one step. It thus took much longer not only to do the video but also to get it out on internet. You can speed it up and just look beginning middle and end. The trick is to switch ...

Openings on previus deck hatches have been 45 X 40 cm starting with the first Bris I started to build Midsummer 1971. Also the last two Exlex had deck hatches 45...

8 July. Fore bulkhead hatch have enough space. Bonus gives excellent handholds.

I have now tested the fore hatch. I am pleased. It is easy to pass through. A bonus is that the rim gives a good handgrip even better than expected. At sea I am crawling around a bit as one imagines a monkey. My upper body gets very strong becouse I always hang on to something. For more see Yrvind.c...

6 July 2022. Rope being glued on by help of cable ties. Big hatch twice around for better grip
Sven Yrvind

6 July 2022. Rope being glued on by help of cable ties. Big hatch twice around for better grip

Three reasons for the rope. It gives the edge a bigger radius making it smother and thuse more kind to the canvas. The flange on the coaming makes a very good handhold. On the big coaming I put the rope twice around to get an even better grip. Handhold good for any angle of heel is important for a b...

5 July 2022 Release from mold for bow bulkhead coaming.

Things goes well. The first coaming is released from its mold. I will shape it and add one more rope on its pereferi, the other side to structurally get the same effect as an I-beam making it stronger. It will also make a softer edge as not to wear the canvas to much. The flange will also act as a ...

Today on 4 of July independance day I did the coaming for the aft hatch. I did it in shorter time and the work became better. Practice makes perfect. Perfect is to a big word but the meaning of the phrase I like. It was the summer of 1975 that I first started to laminate with epoxy on Marthas Vine...

2 Juli 2022. Here is canvas for curtain for the bulkhead hatches from Thelin Outdoor.

Thelin Outdoor sent me different samples of canvas for the curtain for the bulkhead hatch. Very quickly I realised that 2 mm neoprene was the way to go. The hard hatches took way to much space. Then the idea was to elliptical coamings. However making a mock up I saw that the eccentricity of the elli...

A painful decision is made. Grinding away the rectangular coamings. Much work have gone into them including making the hard hatches and making it waterproof with ratchet starps. But my mind is stoic. No use thinking about whats done in the past. It is from the present situation that decisions have t...

Close to the bow centerbord is a deck hatch. So they try to interfere with each other. In calm weather no worry, but when the seas are breaking the deck hatches have to be tightend down well.
