Planning and Building Scale Models that Sail. Part 2: Design Calculations
In part 2 of the series, we undertake some more detailed and a bit more extensive calculations to try to get the boat right as built, requiring minimum modifications and fixes after the fact.
How to Make a Boom Vang
This article describes how to make a boom vang with a turnbuckle. It can be whatever length is needed to fit your boat and have either a brass or aluminum finish.
