Turning Exlex upside down to make a pattern for the bilge keels and to plug the centerboard hole.

Now I have turned Exlex upside down to plug the hole where the centerboard should have been.
Also to design and make patterns for the bilge keels.
I started to build Bris 1971 and sailed her in the North Atlantic and South Atlantic, that is by definition south of the equator. The trade wind route from Canary Islands to the West indies is not South Atlantic as many seems to belive.
Bris was a well balanced boat. By trimming her I could sail her without selfstearing. Autopilots was at that time only for big boats.
The drawing is from a photo taken on St Helena 1974 maybee in October putting he ashore for antifouling. Bris is hanging in a crane.
Bris was 6 meter long 1.72 beam.
Exlex is 6.27 meter long 1.4 meter beam.
Both are doubble enders with similar bilges.
I will put the bilge keels in the same position as Bris keel.

Sven Yrvind

Hi My name is Sven Yrvind. I design, build and cruise small boats. 1962 I left Sweden in 15 feet converted Blekingseka. I soon found out that there was room for improvement. To understand the basic I began to study mathematics and engenering. 1968 I sailed to England via many contries in a converted 13 feet rowing boat. People told me I be more happy on a bigger boat. November that year I found a wreck an old steam launch build 1885 I converted her to a staysail schooner and sailed her to Rio de Janeiro. That voyage advised me that a bigger boat do not bring happiness, happiness is an inside thing. I designed a 6 meter doubble ender built her in my mother basement. Tried to sail around Cape Horn with her but was capsized and pitchpoled. Later I built an 5.9 meter boat in her I rounded Cape Horn in the southern winter June 1980. I have continued to design, build, and cruise small boats often in high latitudes. Please support me on my donation button on my site yrvind.com
