Keel design & making the plug [2.12]

[@SailLife]

Very cool project! :)

[@markhuston9250]

Absolutely amazing you guys. What a process! 👍🏼

[@mattdouglas5570]

Love what you guys are doing I'm assuming the flat bottom of bulb is going to great for grounding when needed

What a fantastic project you get going. Thanks for sharing. With time, I'm sure your channel will grow. I'm impressed by your dedication and practical skills. You have bought a fantastic boat. Cheers.

Thank you ☺️☺️

I follow a number of build channels and find yours is amongst the ones I look forward to seeing when they drop. Can't wait to see how the keel works out. Cheers from Australia

Yay new vid

Really enjoying watching you both (important to emphasise both, not just one) work together on all the aspects of your projects - theoretical, technical and practical. Although not on your immediate priorities I wonder what your thoughts are on two things: the quality of the hull (water impregnation etc) and the "value" of rod rigging. I look forward to watching the project develop and wish you both the best of luck and success.

Thank you ☺️☺️ We did some measurements when we bought the boat to check for moisture in the hull, and didn’t find any (but guess it can be easily missed if measuring in the wrong places 😊 during the boats lifetime it has been standing on land for more years than it has been in the water so we are not super worried about that, but maybe we’ll get an unpleasant surprise in the future 😊 And yeah, the rigging, we will prioritize this as soon as we managed to get the boat into the water. We’ve started doing some research and talked to some riggers, and so far we haven’t really decided on anything, or have any strong opinions either way 😊

Impressive systematic approach . My own tasks for the day now seem much more finite. Great work. Thank you for posting.

Thank you ☺️☺️

Not a small decision to make. The keel will determine how effective your boat will sail. It is a very nuanced problem. Glad it's not me! Good job.

Throw some tankage into that empty space in the keel. Diesel or water would be nice down there. Thanks for throwing in the pounds and feet conversions for us Americans.

Only 3 countries in the world use the imperial system any more. The US is the only one of the 35 countries that make up America! 😊😊

Hej, Här kommer tips kring bytet av genomföringar. Jag bytte genomföringar i en plastbåt nyligen och forskade lite på material, monteringsmetoder, etc. Målet var att få något som var säkert både vad gäller mekanisk påverkan, korrosion och frostsprängning, samt att jag inte skulle behöva göra bytet igen inom åtminstone ett par decennier. Jag kom fram till att brons var det bästa valet, och då gärna med rejäla flänsar på själva genomföringen för att fördela krafterna över en större kontaktyta på skrovet. (Vad jag förstår är kvaliteten på mässingsprodukterna som man hittar i svenska båtaffärer av ytterst varierande kvalitet.) Jag köpte mina bronsgenomföringar från Groco i USA. Eventuellt blir det svårt att hitta reservdelar med rätt gänga i Sverige, men shopping över internet brukar ju gå rätt smidigt nuförtiden. Här är ett urval av artiklar jag beställde (ni har antagligen större dimensioner i och med att ni har en större båt en min): www.groco.net/products/fbv-1000 www.groco.net/products/th-1000-w www.groco.net/products/ibv-500 www.groco.net/products/sth-500-w www.groco.net/products/pth-500 www.groco.net/products/ffc-500 Lycka till!
