Building a leeboard on my 16ft sailing dinghy Discussion in ' Sailboats sailinh started by Konstantinos AmpatzidisJan 18, I have build a 16ft building a dinghy sailing method dinghy with a daggerboard. The method was stitch and glue with plywood, fiberglass, and epoxy.

The alum mast is a international mast. Total sail area about 18sq. Hull weight about kg. I am a starter on sailing and Building a dinghy sailing method am not interested in performances. Additionally, I have discovered that now I need a small cabin on it, for making better coastal vacations during the Hellas hot summertime. The Leeboard will be strong laminate plywood with fiberglass and epoxy.

I am planning also to have the solution to add on the edge throw some holes and inox bolts some additional weight steel or lead planks. Q the above, I would like to ask some friends to give me building a dinghy sailing method respectful dinhy. Konstantinos AmpatzidisJan 18, Your bujlding foot boat, at kilograms, is already far heavier than a boat of that size needs to be.

Adding ballast will diminish performance even. You do have a lot of sail for such a small methox so that will help overcome the disadvantage of excessive weight. Lee boards are workable but inefficient when compared to dagger board or centerboard. The single lee board will be even less efficient when on Port tack if the boat is heeled to some degree.

In addition, adding weight to the lee board will unbalance the boat to some extent, sailiing on how much weight you have added. The boat will work better if you leave the building a dinghy sailing method board in its dingghy location. Beginning sailors have enough trouble while perfecting their sailing technique. Modifying the boat so that it behaves in a different manner will make the learning process even more problematic.

Post a picture of the boat if you. I would like to thank you for your advice. You can see my boat. If you are determined to try a leeboard then I think you'd be well advised to rig up something, preferably without making too many holes in your nice craft, that would enable you to see buildong well it works before you do anything to the daggerboard case. It would be most depressing to do a shed load of work and then find the boat will hardly tack or some other issue.

Thank you. It is a good idea to be tested it first and if all works well after to cut the Daggerboard box. Nice looking boat. May I suggest that you rig a tent over the boom instead of a cabin, to give protection when camping. Then add a removable flat board which xinghy the two seats to make a large sleeping area. A leeboard needs to be protected from moving in the wrong direction to windward, or when used on the "wrong" tack or it will rip out leaving a hole in your boat.

Your advice inclouds the practical use of both the budget and simplicity. The tent is a good solution for the hot summer. Konstantinos AmpatzidisJan 19, Try to make the leeboards do double-duty as multi-purpose plank. On one hand you will be told how to make the most optimized size and shape of leeboard, which will then be only able to be used as a leeboard.

However, IMO there is no perfect size and shape of leeboard, because conditions will always be changing, so no point in chasing that buikding. Instead, figure out a plank s that could bui,ding as "removable flat board which joins the two seats to make a large sleeping area. Sounds donghy your main issue is hot sun, so you just need a shade tarp. Squidly-DiddlyJan 19, Yes, the main problem is the strong summer sun!

An dibghy tent is the first priority! A cabin seems to be useful in the northern climate and finally in winter days, which biulding not an option for my way of living. Regarding the use - the technics and the construction of leeboard, I am studying the Holland and German classic boats small and mediumalso the homemade Texas small wooden boats which are participated in the annual Texas Race, and many of them use leeboards. Thank you again for your advice!

Hello Konstantinos, The Dutch boats you show all have double, asymetric leeboards that are not restrained sailinf float sideways up when they're at the luff side of the boat. I think the "texas" way is more appropriate sailin your purpose. Jim Michalak is the designer of most of these crafts, and he is clearly inspired by Bolger. Googling both their saliing will probably give the best ideas.

If you opt for the tent instead of cabin, I think there will be no need for a leeboard. BTW your boat looks good! Cheers, Hans. ZilverJan 19, Methkd little boat is nice looking and appears to be well constructed. I can not imagine that it weighs as much as your original post stated, unless made of steel. It does appear to have an unusually large amount of chine rocker, which implies that it is a heavy boat.

The tiller could be made a bit shorter and have a hiking stick attached. That would allow you to move about in w boat while under sail. Aside from that, I can see no need to change.
