Whitelion Windsurfing: Baked Veneer Hull Repair

http://whitelionwindsurfing.blogspot.com/2011/04/baked-veneer-hull-repair.html

Monday, 18 April 2011. Baked Veneer Hull Repair. I have purchased two timber veneered boards and built one and they all had problems with the veneer cracking. This was due to the veneer drying out and re-sealing was the remedy. I repaired a friends boards recently that was an extreme case. The board was accidently left in the sun(Australian sun - fry eggs on your car bonnet! In a board bag hull upward for two weeks! Here is how I undertook the repair. The entire hull was covered in cracks that. Veneer an...

Whitelion Windsurfing: Board Building Project - HD Creeper 48 - Stage 3 - Shaping the Deck

http://whitelionwindsurfing.blogspot.com/2014/04/board-building-project-hd-creeper-48.html

Monday, 7 April 2014. Board Building Project - HD Creeper 48 - Stage 3 - Shaping the Deck. So I went to shape the lower rails(below the wide-point) and found I had made a error on the tuck calculation - I allowed for the 3mm shell on the outline but not on the pre-cut 6mm Dcell on the Hull. I ripped off 3mm from the wide-point with the router, squared them up, re-marked the wide-point and re-blended the rails. The Dcell hull was trimmed with my tuck template using a snap-off knife.

Sunday, 15 May 2011. DIY - Fins - Power Box to Tuttle Head Conversion. The conversion of a Power Box Head to Tuttle Head can be quite easy depending on the brand and head material used.

Whitelion Windsurfing: JP Super Light Wind

http://whitelionwindsurfing.blogspot.com/2011/02/jp-super-light-wind.html

Wednesday, 9 February 2011. JP Super Light Wind. Getting into the straps isn't too hard once planing but may still take some getting used to if you are normally sailing smaller less racy boards. Once up and planing the ride is VERY stable. To some it may not be engaging enough but it really does allow you to just relax and enjoy the sensation of effortless planing. I tested the board with the Select S10 57(as recommended by Rik! Posted by Tim Hemer. 29 August 2011 at 16:33. DIY - Baked Veneer Repair.

Whitelion Windsurfing: DIY Enclosed Trailer

http://whitelionwindsurfing.blogspot.com/2010/01/diy-enclosed-trailer.html

Friday, 8 January 2010. After years of loading and unloading station wagons enough was enough. I needed an enclosed trailer so that I could simply hitch up and head of for some TOW. I looked at what was available on the market and nothing really suited my needs which were. Take all of my gear each time I go sailing. Fit everything inside rather than the boards being on top racks. Allow the possibility to sleep inside. Have a low drag body for minimal fuel consumption. Have the same track as my sedan.

Whitelion Windsurfing: DIY - Batten Repair

http://whitelionwindsurfing.blogspot.com/2009/10/diy-batten-repair.html

Thursday, 22 October 2009. DIY - Batten Repair. Here is a simple Do-It-Yourself repair of a glass or carbon tube / rod batten. Tube rod battens are usually constructed in 3 parts:. The first part of the batten is a solid pultruded fibreglass rod that is about 8.4mm in diameter. The sides(windward and leeward) are tapered towards the tip that is inserted into the camber inducer. This allows the leading edge of the sail to have a nice progressive curve towards the tip. The third part of the batten is the t...
