Moderated Duo 900 Italy + wing mast
Hi Bernd
Some development work also on the Duo 900 Italy
Hulls in place, the pipes have been painted and do the last of the paint on the hulls.
In the meantime I am working on the 10,80m long wing mast. Link foto ?/g/K-designs-Multihull-Sailboats/album?p=Taken%2C%2C%2C20%2C1%2C140%2C0&jump=1&id=256248 |
Hi Domenico
Thank you for the photos. You are really a hard worker. Your wing mast progress is respectable. Next step? UD carbon and glass? Finishing with? Can you work with these temperatures? Here it is at the moment, 41 degrees. Hi guys, if you read this. What you are up to? Any progress, photos, videos? Cheers Bernd |
Hi Bernd
For lamination of the wing mast I will make a 600gr unidirectional fiberglass layer and a quadaxial 820 gr fiberglass layer. Without lamination it came very stiff and solid and the weight is 42 kg, the two spreaders in the center and the lamination are missing and I think I am under 60 kg. I preferred to have a strong structure and not just think about weight as many do. My thoughts.

The boat has been painted white the upper part and the silver hulls. Now at home in the cool :-)) I prepare the net for the trampoline.

I'm not working right now, temperatures here in southern Italy are not 40 degrees but around 32/35 degrees. We can't work for the moment.
In September we will start again, I will dedicate 10 days of work to finish the Duo and then I will resume the KD122 for the final phase.
Hello happy holidays everyone I need it ... |
Sounds okay to me. I understand your thinking. I have noticed the wood slats you used to "close" the mast structure.
It is on the heavy side. You will see how it will work on the boat. The rotational force will be relatively high.
Nothing to worry about with the beam of the DUO 900. Only be aware when a gust hits the boat. The boat will accelerate and want to point windward.
To avoid the related rotational force, you have to bear away and slacking the boom. Chiao Bernd |
