bow eye

Toivo and I have been researching other sites for tips at this stage, esp Jay's and Menno's.
re making the bow eye and centerboard case pieces. Thought ours was rather messy, so went back through Menno's archive to see how he dealt with it (his blog is so thorough to find these kinds of details) - and i found this !
"Laminating the bobstay anchor wasn't a big succes. Laminating ('wrapping') pieces this small is still not my cup of tea. To continue moaning: the fit in the hull wasn't very good either. But it's no use crying over spilled milk. Currently the final layer of C is curing so tomorrow I'll glue the anchor in place and be done with it. I decided to try use vacuum to force the last layer of cloth tight around the piece. I used an ordinary shopping-bag and a tie-wrap. This works really well."

he also has some very good advice for how to join the two halves of the hull together - its a great technique...have a look at Vrijdag 9 November 2007..

also interesting is his photos re the placing of the centreboard (same design option ie rotating off-centre) and shows the rollers already built in for the control lines.

Menno's site is really good for all this information.
