Fila #89

At the rogla race Niko a fellow sailor gave me a fila hull, with a built in finn box, finn and rudder. Thanks alot again!
So the goal was to have the boat sailing by now but fiddeling around my car and school made me postpone this project.
This boat will be an improvement to fila #87, it won't be perfect but it will be good.
It will also showcase 3d printed parts.
The boat will be primarily a one keel fin one rudder boat, but a fore rudder shaft will be also fitted.

as i got it, the keelbox was prfectly aligned the rudder post was of centreline for 2mm


rc stuff mock-up, a laid down sheet servo is a first for me

standard b-rigg is used for mock-up of eyelets for sheets and shrouds
3d printed mast box, the mast rake i adjustable 3-10 deg of backwards rake

this is a new material i use, its bison plasteline epoxy, its a 5minute epoxy, gets stiff as a rock and is very nice to sand

shroud from the inside(3x2cm patch is enough

backstay, the hook is made out of 2mm alu bicycle spoke

keel finn, the target weight is 1600g, but i wont go below 700g of ballast! lots of wolume to play with the original fila weighs 1850g sail-ready

all glued in, the finn box was in the way, so i cut it, still enough space for the keel to fit inside..
..the woodden supports area waiting to be cut abit more..

everything is stainless steel(1mm, tig welding rod) or aluminum
First test will be carried out with evolution rigg against fila#87, evolution 50cm deep keel can be used on this boat.
Looking to get the sheeting sistem and new rudder post&rudder glued and runnig by the end of the week.
That is it for now.
