THE MOLDS SEAMS TO BE FAIR

Hi friends.

Now all the molds are up and the stem and stern.

The new Exlex the canoe yawl will come out I think 6.4 meter long and 1.4 meter beam depending on the thickness of the Divinycell.

To my eye she looks sweet. Her hull remains me about Bris a boat I cruised many days in 1972 to 1976 and later 1982 and 1983. Bris was 6 meter long 1.72 beam. Also a double ender. I built her in my mother basement.

Exlex is 4.57 beam long, Bris was 3.49 beams long. Exlex is more slender, she is also a bit smaller 6X1.72 is 10.32 veras 6.4X1.4 is 8.96. Lenght is not a good measure of  size in boats.

Below are a few pictures of Bris.

!972 I started from Göteborg sailed to Holland. Trailed her back to Sweden to fix things. Spring 1973 left Sweden to Norway north of Scotland to Madeira down to Rio Argentina tried to round Cape Horn she was capsized and pitchpoled sailed east to Tristan da Cuhna styed there for 4 months then St Helena Martinique Newport Marthas Vineyard Acores Sweden
Bris being built in my mothers basement. Start midsummers eve 1971.
1975-1976 worked with Dick Newick on trimarans on Marthas Vineyard. A toster and 110 volt kept me warm during winter
1983 becalmed in ghe Saragasso sea on my way to the Museum of Yachting I did see all the Am Cup races when US lost the Cup to Australia
I clamped a spline a batten to the molds to sea if the were fair. It was very good. I like the shape. In my oppinion she will be a happy boat. I got that feeling.
