You will blink and there will be a boat taking shape in front of you.

Re: AD 14 KIELGE
Thanks KS8 for encouraging me to carry on a bit faster in Winter.
It took me so long because I had some chores like painting ten doors of my 110 year old house and getting the garden
ready for Winter.

Hi,
Progress is slow in comparison to all the guys building, but I have now the centerboard ready for melting the lead into it.

Re: AD 14 KIELGE
Hi,
Here is a picture of the top of the centerboard, where I am planning to use the lifting system for small boats described in the How To's. I hope my AD14 is small enough that it will work.
and here one of the pivot hole which has a diameter of 16 mm while the ss pipe going thru has 15 mm.

Re: AD 14 KIELGE
It looks really good. I am using the same method to lower my centreboard. The only issue Iis that the centreboard can slam back to the retracted position if the boat flips. Hopefully that never happens

Re: AD 14 KIELGE
Somewhere on the plans, I show a line or a pin that keeps the CB form slamming back in the boat in case of a very unlikely 180 degree capsize.
A pin with a wooden dowel is easy yo install. Make the dowel small enough to break in case of grounding.

Re: AD 14 KIELGE
I use a ss bolt to booth hold the keel up when traveling and when he keel is down that same bolt stops it from retracting should I end up upside down

Re: AD 14 KIELGE
Thanks jacques and das boot,
I will use such a pin when I get towards putting the keel into the finished trunk. ( "Big" problem is to choose a thin dowel or Georges ss pin. )
Right now I want to finish the trunk and leave the melting of lead on the keel because I wouldnt be able to test fit it
with an additional 56 KG.
I have a question about glassing the inside of the trunk. Should i put a small strip of glass also on all connecting 51 mm ( 2") battens with which the 2 sides of the trunk will be put together ?
I want to use as batten material paulownia wood which has the advantage that it is a hardwood nearly as light as balsa.
With my Adelie 14 I want to reach the designed weight and I think this could help me towards that goal.
I know it is beeing used on standup paddle boards. I used it as seats on my Micro-Petrel dinghy and I liked working with it.
Its woodworking characteristics is close to NW Red Cedar and it it is much cheaper here than oak for instance.
Any suggestions or comments if I should do this or experiences of forum members are very welcome.

I used WRC (Western Red Cedar) because is very rot resistance. The only issue with it is the strength. Since the sole and the frames hold the center trunk in place the battens don't need to be as strong as teak. I will use something that is rot resistance with a tick coat epoxy.
