DN yacht performance gears
Awaiting for new full carbon masts from Moore Bro. allowed some extra time for finetuning runner plank details. This little add-on in connection with new tang design will make plank ends look really cool.
To find out more go to Aerodynamic upgrades menu.
An upgrade to old and new masts producerd by CSI and Moore Bro.
FDM technology, flexible material.
Super easy installation.
See details in Aerodynamic upgrades.
I just released new Tech Talk no.11 about plank to hull fixing part 2 of 3.
As promised I explain in details process of installing 3-pad system.
If you are subscribed to my YouTube channel fell free to download laser jet cutting drawings for free. Go to Runner planks & fittings menu for details.
My runner planks’ core material is samba wood also known as abachi. When you google for most common applications you will not find iceboat’s runner plank. Strange.
It is very light wood and easy in processing however it covers everything in dust even if you have dust collection system.
The lightest wooden core ever was 2,54kg, the heavies 4,55kg. In average core weight oscilates between 3,4-3,6kg in most of the cases.
I am happy moth owner since March this year. For a sailor dealing with traditional sailing for couple of decades moth sailing is whole different sailing experience. Very , very demanding class. I have only few more days sailing scheduled for October.
The good thing is downwind is alike iceboat.
Icesailing is coming in fast!
As always things start to accelerate as it comes to end of summer.
Before starting new batch of planks I decided to build a post curing box. In fact it will support both curing and post curing. Elevated temperature lowers viscosity and improves resin flow.
But the real benefit is that I no longer need to outsource post curing. Now all can be done inhouse.
The box can accomodate two planks 😉 and it will occupy big portion of my small shop floor ;(
If you haven’t seen my plank movie yet this is the right moment to do so.
Welcome onboard for race #3 of Polish Championship 2021. Yachtsmen.eu installed this fancy 360 camera on my deck. I added my comment to what’s going on and here you have the result. Enjoy.
Season is almost over and I am super happy to conclude a series of tests of various DN aerodynamic upgrades. All of developments should be uploaded by end of March. Stay tuned for updates.
I added Aerodynamic upgrades to top menu for easier navigation in future.
Finaly sweet taste of victory! Consistent sailing in the top paid dividend. It was a big challenge to free up my head from all bad emotions after epic fails in Warsaw Cup. I knew that in order to win any event I need to win with myself first. An extra week of no sailing helped a lot as well.
