An apology for the canvas

The canvas cover for the bulkhead hatch did not only recive applauses. Some comments even hinted that it was not such good idea. Me however thinks that consider everything it was a good idea. Most of the critisims was that it would take to long time and that my hands would be to cold. Good seamanshi...

The cover for the hole in the bulkhead A start.

The for and aft bulkheads had hatches with hard lids. It did take to much place. The new idea is to use canvas, PVC covered polyester textile. Now a friend gave me a piece with a nice blue color, strong and fine. I fix them with shock cord. Several turns, each turn add pressure. This will protect th...

In the comments some asked how I intended to attach the twin keels. 1986 I buildt my first boat of Divinycell and NM-epoxy. She had a bow centerboard and a 150 kilo bronze shallow keel. she was 4.8 meter long 15 feet. I sailed her from France to Ireland and then to Newfoundland. I had screwed and gl...

Routine work on the accomondation. Boring to watch.

Work on the accommondation is much the same from day to day. It is boring to watch but have to be done. One have to figure out future use of the spaces to devide the avaliable space into the most useful function. I have been sailing for many ears in similar sized boats and I am a man of routine. Tha...

Safety belt one more small step and some reflections on their use.

Here is one more step on the construction of the strong points for the safety belts. One commentator expressed the opinion that they were to high. For maximum safety that is true. But comfort have to be considered to if frequent use of them will be made. It is different in a car. Drives do not last ...

With the bed mostly done it is time for the side compartment. While it is still space to work I do the four strong points for the safety belts. They are designed to be more than strong. They are designed to give peace of mind in a storm, like the rest of the boat. In engenering it not always strengh...

In a comment yesterday John Welsford, desinger suggested that I should increase the 2.7 sqare meter sail area of the three sails to 4 square meter.

Wave Rover have suggested that I chose junk rig for my boat. Here is is the text for those who have problems understanding my muttering: Rigs junk, Ljungström balansed lug.

Freestanding mast on deck that do not interfere with the accomodation. The bedroom in this case.

The original idea of the side by side masts was that they should not interfere with the accomodation. They proved excellent for downwind sailing also in combination with a bow centerboard. Now the bow centerboard is replaced by ballasted twin keels. That makes the lateral area fixed. This calls for ...

But after a secound of reflection I realised that I in fact did not know just how strong my fillets were. And for once I kept my big mouth shut and decided to find out. Th...

Teflon tejp works well but it is tricky to get it right especially like here with long threads and a sleeve. With spray no need to worry that the t...
