Not much, just a few small steps.

The are fixed with screws and NM-epoxy and glassfibre. To prevent epoxy from enter the threads there are screws wrapped wi...

Miscellaneous, the mock up boom, the real rope hinge, locking nut for the seat stovage, rig on model

HI friends. Today I have done different things. During my evening walk I realised that to get most force from the reefing line to the sail the lines must be parralell. Easy to understand if you are familiar with vectors. Vectors is a concept useful to sailors. By mowing the parts closer together I a...

Balanced lug slab reefing. Here a 2 meter long rope represents a 2X2 meter, a 4 square meter sail.

Peter is not here. But try to imagine this rope representing the bottom of a 2X2 meter square sail. In the fromt eyelet I put a loop with a loop. I peg it on a peg. That way the bottom fromt of the sail is attached. In the back I use a line as an outhaul. The front peg can be used for many loops th...

The seat and the boom. The seat feels fine, the boom more later.

Now the dimensions of the seat is determined. It feels fine. It is going to be a pleasure to sail a boat with such a nice seat wathching all around everything that can bee seen through the windows. The boom is just experimental. It is a wooden one and is not going to be used for real just testing ho...

Starting on the seat that is the lid for the central dining room storage.

Not much done today, but got an idea how to proceed. Did some gluing up for tomorrow. I am working on the central storage below the seat in the dining room. I have also got an idea how to do the reefing in a simple way. On Exlex 2018 and Exlex 2020 I messed it up by making the booms to short. The re...

To wedge the tilting mast or lash it. Thats the question. + Bonus

Yesterday some people suggested that I should use wedges for the tilting mast. That would keep it in the desired position sequerely. The new problems arose. How to unwedge the mast. That is certainly possible but most likely a tool is needed at least occasionaly. That means that the tool hae to be o...

The case for the tilting biplane rig.

Some people say that it is complicated to tilt a mast. I say thats not so if the mast is small on a small boat and if it done in simple way. A freestanding mast stands in a prismatic socket. However if one end of the socket is larger than the other the mast can tilt. The tilt can be controller by a ...

One thing leads to an other and often the cause is not obvius. Here the Putins war lead the idea of visiting Falkland Island and Isla Chiloe. Falkland and Chiloe lead to twin keels. Twin keels lead to the decision to go skip the modified Ljundström rig and and return to the balanced lug sail. Only ...

This is not very exciting just taping fillets in the dining room, but it makes progress and makes the boat stronger. Things are going well.

The pattern seams to fit on port and starboard. Stronger flange and the boat is back on even keel

I did put the keel in the middle when adding the flange. The reason was to get one pattern for port and starboard. The middle of the boat would be a compromise. That way I will only have to adopt a little to each side to make a good fit to the hull. I had insulated the flange from the hull with a sh...

Now the keel pattern is on the flange. When done I noticed that the keel is not excactly straight. I have to live with that. Comforting myself that boats do not sail stright and that I am human. Anyway tomorrow I can take the mould of the hull and turn the boat on even keel. For more see Yrvind.com ...
