Yes Nick,
If you call it that ... no-one will realise it is a screw up by the designer!!! Just don't make it a tight fit laterally ... otherwise if it swells it will split the case. So a maximum width of 22mm.
Does serve a nice function .. the raw softwood will be much kinder to the back edge of the centreboard than epoxy coated!

I'm using a hardwood trailing edge on the foils...
So, If we didnt want to do that, we could just increase the size of the dividers to say 35mm, so that there is only 6mm free play? |

Hi Everyone.
Well I'm just about to glue on the side decks.
What is did regarding the centre case is I shorted the entire assemble by18mm, this made the side tanks 18mm longer, luckily there was that extra 19mm there to play with, they came up 1mm shy of flush with the end face....
Its starting to look like a boat now!  |

Im thinking of running a white pinstrip all the way from the back, along the carlines, to the front and around the curve of paint meeting varnish... |

Goodness! Another fine looking boat!
You guys are setting some pretty high standards for paint schemes! Not that Mik's designs don't deserve it... I only hope that when the time comes, I am worthy...

G'day Michael,
I'm just about to cut the GI dagger board down to fit the PD. Should I leave it a little wider to fit the case (how much?) or make the case shorter as Nick has done?
cheers,

G'day Clay,
You have been holding out on us!!!!! Pics ... text ... improvements ... where are they all Clayton (Clay and I have known each other for years so I can nag him this way)
I left the extra 19mm on the side tank faces because I was worried that this was one area where there was some chance of a mistake with those notches to go over the transom and Frame #2.
Being a crude and lazy person I just put the loose block in the back of the case and keep the fall back of the side tank faces being a bit longer than needed.
That is what I recommend for most builders. But anyone who wants to improve the boat over Storer building standards is welcome! Anyone with a solid woodworking background can do a better job than me for sure!!!
Best wishes
Michael. | | |
