Re: Isometric rendering of AS19
Yes, the boards are somewhat heavy, but you don't haul the boards
onto the guards when tacking; I just haul them clear of the water.
My system could be improved by installing jam cleats to be used while
sailing, reserving the thole pins for when you need to secure the
boards while trailering.
As for my rudder; that is one component that was built stout. I
think the rudder post may be a section from a propeller shaft.
Additionally, the rudder is heavily glassed - if the boat fell off
the trailer at 50 I doubt the rudder would be damaged at all.

It's good to hear more in praise of this design, thanks cabbie. I
recall PCB mentioning their usefulness as fenders ;-) Are the
leeboards very heavy to haul up onto the guards and lower by the
pendants? How much do you think that lift is? Is it easy enough for
one arm only when under way sailing?
Has your rudder taken much of a beating when drying out? I wonder
how much weight it has to bear, and whether the endplate gets dinged?
Cheers

Graeme,
In my experience there are no negatives with the leeboards as
designed. "Tacking" the boards is a lot easier than tacking a jib.
Banging does not occur. While sailing broken wing the board merely
skims on the surface.
I have found that the boards make good fenders while at the pier.
Paint them a complementary color as it masks the square boat shape.
As the boards are not restrained by a slot I don't have to worry
about springing something when bumping along the bottom. Use the
rope hinge as PCB intended; the hinge twists tightening it's self
when lowering the board. There are no downsides!

Just a thought: PCB cites here and there some drawbacks to those
articulating types of leeboards. I've wondered about irritation due
to them working, broken winging, and banging. It occurs to me that
when traversing deep water if these guards had a slot then these
simple boards could be dropped in those to form a lee daggerboard.
No more movement or noise, and they might be set lower to make up
the lost performance that comes with being up against the hull. I
guess it depends on how much they may actually annoy - I know some
people don't like it.

Bruce,
Very nice :-)
The perspective view from below shows a shape, to my eye, that would
be at home amongst the large marine mammals in the bays, and
offshore around here :-) If the marine critters take any notice at
all of such things then it also should not scare up the herds of
stingrays in the shallows as I don't think any marine mammals here
prey on them.
Boat nuts all over are really going to benefit from what you have
done over at Wikipedia. Thanks.

Bruce,
That rendering certainly captures the "essence" of the boat.
