A brilliant idea from Clément Mougel France a kind of Spanish windlass tensioner for the lead.

Today greated me with an brilliant idea to tension the string to the leads. It came from France, from Clément Mougel. At first I did not understand it. I thought it was going to be too big, but more explanation made it clearer although being a slow thinker it took me some time to grasp the significa...

Planning water storage for the voyage.

I am aiming for the Pacific. To me Panama and Suez are not attractive. Besides the authorities do not permit small boats. I like open spaces therefore the polar routes north west and north east I will not use, besides its cold for a boat without heating. In the south there is a eastern route south o...

Preparations for the lead boxes and for the sleeping room.

Sandwich construction consists of a core laminated on each of its two sides. That takes time. However time do not neccesarily means work. My strategy is to work on several different parts at the same time. Now is the lead boxes saloon, sleeping and centerboard. Then the I laminate one side of a core...

I like to keep the distance between the three layers of the lead weights to the minimum. I put the bendt copper tubes in a sandwich panel with a core of ten millimeter. The copper tubes are also ten millimeter. Good for the minimum distance but difficult to glue them. To try to solve the problem I ...

Centerboards are wery good but since 1970 about racing rules penelise them. If I remember so did Dick Carter win the 1969 Fastnet with the centerboard boat Red Roaster. The English got so angry that when the IOR-rule in the 1970-s came centerboard boats was so heavily penelised that they went out of...

CB progress but still mock up. The idea is to find a simpler and safer line conduit.

Many years ago I was sailing with Peter Duff of Dovekie fame in his leeboard cruiser. He told me that one of the main reasons for leeboards was that you do not have to worry about the centerboard pendent, the rope that rise the CB. I have for many years tried to find a simple way to do the CB contr...

Sven Yrvind

Vector thinking comes to my help doing the string for the lead boxes.

By applying a force crossvise to the strings it multiplys the tension and immobilises the lead. It also immobilises the string and with no movement of the string just tension no wear. Well thats the theory at least it reduceses the wear by a big factor. For more see Yrvind.com There you can also su...

When placing the lead boxes in the saloon there is interference. I will do something about it

Tying the lead down with strings through holes worked fine on the bench. As often when in context there is interference. I have to backstep and redoo the thing. Fortunately I got ideas.

Holes instead of hookes, simpler, lighter, cheaper, and I get the center of gravity lower.

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 satisfaction but how good it becomes. For more see Y...

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. The area is pretty minimal about 14 cm lenght...
