A longboard sailboarding construction diary: Where is the plan Luke?

http://buildingalongboard.blogspot.com/2009/08/where-is-plan-luke.html

A longboard sailboarding construction diary. This is a diary of progress made (maybe none! In building a racing sailboard. Saturday, August 29, 2009. Where is the plan Luke? Now that an adaptable rocker design has been formulated, it is time to work through the plan shape. This is the fun bit because it is here that you can make the board look really good (or really bad! A really good starting point is the discussion. On racing board design at LBWS. Additionally, check out the board comparison chart here.

A longboard sailboarding construction diary. This is a diary of progress made (maybe none! In building a racing sailboard. Saturday, January 23, 2010. Hi Blogosphere, back after a trip to the south of France (massive cold snap, and the interesting experience of piloting a left-hand drive car in snow and ice down narrow country roads with all of those wild rural French drivers; not to mention being attacked by a massive bloody sanglier. In this regard, I've been thinking a little more about how best to co...

The image above shows my sketch of the bench- truly back of the envelope stuff! Also shown on the left and below is the basic starting point with the materials and the construction of one side of the bench. Good luck in your search and merry xmas too.

It's good news with StyraPak getting back to me and indicating that they can cut 2-d patterns in foam blocks. All I need to do is supply a .dxf. File (preferably) or a suitable technical diagram. Looks like all that effort put into climbing up the learning curve with Sketchup. In the last posting Shapers Australia. I just love how the ye...

A longboard sailboarding construction diary. This is a diary of progress made (maybe none! In building a racing sailboard. Monday, July 21, 2008. The longboard racer is a different ball game. Not only has the choice of materials increased, but now it is. Necessary to deal with a sliding mast track system, a fully retracting centreboard and a board length beyond that of even a surfer's stand-up paddle board. With respect to these materials can be found at Fibreglass Supply. July 27, 2008 at 9:05 PM. First...

Thank-you rob134 for the encouraging comments and the 'Crownie' challenge. Thank-you Pat for the offer of help in the board design and the chance to contribute to a blog on LBWS.

A longboard sailboarding construction diary. This is a diary of progress made (maybe none! In building a racing sailboard. Sunday, June 3, 2012. Well its been a couple of years since the last post. What happened? Basically 1/ I gained access to a very nice Phantom 380; 2/ there was an interesting set of posts on the LBWS. Site which laid out the design for a wave-piercing skiff board. This design was subsequently (or maybe in parallel) commercialised in the Exocet RS D2 board. December 20, 2012 at 5:11 PM.
