π¬ Cast keel bulb

No mounting points yet.
I thought I was pushing my luck trying to DIY mould 6.5Kg of lead without making things worse with fixings. Plan is that the fin will be between 12 and 30mm thick with a 10mm plywood core which I will set into the lead. Then an 8mm diameter carbon rod right up into the hull finishing above the waterline and two M6 stainless steel studs to hold the keel on. One of those studs will pass right through the lead. There will not be space for the second stud to do the same. ▲

Hello, Just looked through your build blog, interesting way that you are doing the hull. Have you made any further progress on it? Very nice work on the lead bulb
Cheers, Joe ▲

π¬ Hull off the build jig

Actually I meant your children as a 'crew production unit' ππ²
Good to hear you have potential already lined up π Tip about cross beams is from experience. Along time ago (far far away!) I reskinned a long thin destroyer hull, originally built all balsa with a 1/32" hull skin, with fibre glass and suddenly it was even thinner! Good for speed vs given power π but not so good for refitting the decks and internals π‘ Also seemed to create a twisting stress in the hull!! Carry on the great work, All the best Doug π ▲

It won't be my kids (37 & 40) but I do have grand kids that would fit.
Thanks for the heads up on the deck beams...good call. ▲

So far so good Steve π
I might be tempted to fit at least temporary cross beams though, just in case the fibre-glassing tries to pull the sides together π Crew already lined up? Or do you need to chat with your children? ππ (Apologies if on thin ice!) Cheers, Doug π ▲

So did you just cut out a triangular shape or build in some shape by changing the shape of the luff and leach?
