it looks quite well balanced and able to to handle a bit of wind too. - what's the actual length of your boat ?

Status: offline 		Yes it is my own design, influenced by the latest VOR 70 and the Safran 60.
The chines are a little higher for more speed on upwind runs
50" (1250mm) weight 4.6kg

Ballast same as IOM
Rig: IOM "A or "B" ( in between as used)
or use Marblehead C rig

Status: offline 		 yes those chines looks good - even in IOM a lots of the newer design have these chines too and skippers who sail these boats claim it gives them more power after a tack and more drive upwind...

Status: offline 		Two questions:

1) The VOR70 from Vela seems to be design around a canting keel. Does someone as a fixed keel design for this boat?  

2) Does someone has these drawings in CAD instead of PDF? Or is there an way to transfer a PDF in CAD (Autocad, Corel Draw, Illustrator) accurately? I would like to draw the planking line on the shadows.

Thank you for yor time

OK, I now have an answer for both of my questions (see two post up).

1) Illustrator can open a PDF and see the vectorial info. No problem there then, at least on CS5. Good thing that they are both Adobe products! I don't know about Autocad and Corel, you will have to check.

2) Surfdabbler excellent "Volvo 70 Ericsson Build Log" thread seeded my initial confusion and... the solution. Since this built was all about a canting keel VOR70 (as the real one), I assumed that the drawings were made accordingly. But, on post #21, Surfdabbler explains his own confusion about this and conclude that the bulb and fin were designed for a fixed keel.

I guess now is the opportunity to give my thanks to him. This tread was my inspiration, my ticked into the hobby.

See Hew's post #23. I took my PDF drawings there and the link is still valid.

Happy sailing.
