Virtual Ship's Log from Captain Hammer

'Cause I don't have enough to do already

Monday, April 26, 2010



Daggerboards have finally started taking shape. Time to start the yoke on which to hang them. Looking forward to getting some good work done on everything this weekend- not alot planned now, but you know how that goes.


You can see from this angle the profile of the daggerboards- a wing shape. For the most part things that are aerodynamic are also hydrodynamic, the two fluids (air and water) behaving in much the same way. Also pictured is half of a 1/2" PVC pipe that will be fitted to the leading edge, to prevent substantial scarring if the soft pine daggerboards run aground.
