Basecamp ... out of the car ... Step height ... no need to crawl on the floor this sounds to a Tipi. Helsport Pasvik 4-6 . , . . . . . . .

some small things . . . . . . . . . . . .

I don't have any experience with canoe sailing myself - but I'm in very good company with my friend, who has a lot of experience and with whom I'll be going on my first sailing trip. . . Yes, I'm really looking forward to seeing how it goes.

There's nothing special to say about it... It's originally a sail made by the german company “Klepper,” and it was originally intended for a folding boat. I was able to buy the sail very cheaply on eBay—and I think it'll be more than enough for my boat. Here are two sample pictures .

oh I know this kind of walk also very well ...

me too. ;)

Leeboard ... . . . . finished. Now I just need to paint it, align the clamps, and secure them. I'm very happy with it. And everything worked out with the leeboard, too. It fits! Wow, that's awesome. . . . . . . . . .

A quick update on the leeboard.. Today, with a mix of nervousness and a lot of sweat, I drilled the holes in the support boards and in the leeboard. I set the washers into the leeboard and glued them in place. . . . . ;) It's slowly starting to come together

just have a look . .

Leeboard ... . . . . . . . It’s just a shame that I mixed up the front edge and the back edge when I was thinning it out. So I had to sacrifice the nice point. Oh well, that’s just how it goes with freehand work. . . . . . I think the leeboard looks pretty good despite...

That'll do just fine.

Practical use will show whether everything works out the way I imagined it would. 🙏

Oh, that's solid ash wood. The mast will be secured in the hole with a pin. So it's already very sturdy. With this design, the size of the bonding surface is probably the weakest point. But I'm very confident that it will hold. ;)
