NEXT DESIGN

Here is some more iterations on the Next Design
Click once or twice to enlarge.

In the aft compartment there is a low countertop on each side of me 30 cm high, 40 cm lengthwise towards the bow. Each square is 20 cm. The storage below serves to keep food The aft compartment can be rearranged to serve as a cabin for a guest. Of course she has to move when the boat needs assistance. There is a centerboard on starboard side also water that when not filled up can be mowed to the windward side.
Me sitting on the port side in the aft cabin. Ample place for even a taller person. To my left towards the bow of the boat is storage for eating things.
Modell with 3 balanced lug sails each 4 sq meter.
Modell seen from aft heading down wind
The modell seen from abouve. Two of the holes that can hold the mast are seen on the starboard side. The mast can be mowed around to suit the conditions. They are not more heavy than a strong oar. The holes can also be used to hold a strong winch to haul the boat up on a beach or back into deep water when she has run aground.

NEXT DESIGN

While working on Exlex a prototype I am thinking of next design.

All the errors I encounter I tell myself I correct that for the next design. I also get bright ideas. One such is to have an two meter long aft cabin with a bunk for a short girl. It will also contain the lunch-room if you sitt atwarth-ships. To make that possible I have increased the beam of next design to 1.4 meter. This has enabled me to make the boat shorter. Next design is now 5.6 meters long or 18′ 4”.

The hull made of 5 cm thick Divinycell reduces the inside beam to 1.3 meter. I need about 1.2 meter sitting space so plenty of room. Headroom is 90 centimeters.

The picture below illustrates the idea.
