I kind of lost time but I think I have been here in Porto Santo Madeira about 2 and 1/2 week not really knowing what to do mainly due to Corona.
Yesterday I was bold and bought a ticket to Sweden for 26 of November a friend will pick me up at Arlanda Stockholm and drive me to my flat in Västervik where I will start the new boat. I hope that I do not catch the desise.
Exlex will have to wait here patiently to spring when I will return to do sail in hopefully the Sargasso Sea.
I still have the offset of Bris the boat I started to build Midsummers eve, Friday 25 of June, 1971 nearly 50 years ago. It was a good boat 6 meter long 1.72 beam height 1.2 meter.
6X1.72X1.2=12.384
Next boat Exlex Rex will be 8.4 meter long, beam 1.22, height 1.1 meter
8.4X1.22X1.1=11.2728
The ratio is =0.91
That is Exlex will be about 9% smaller than Bris.
Also comparing her to Exlex, hopefully she will not be much more heavy due to being pointed in boat ends and been giving rounded bilges.
