Building a Centerboard | creating a perfect foil with a router - Free Range Boat Build Stage. 2

In this, the second episode of our on-farm boat build, we take a look at using a hand held router to easily shape a Center board as a foil. A router is the next tool on the list of machines I fully respect after a chainsaw. Anything they take, is gone forever! Starting a boat in the middle may seem strange, but we took on this project to see us through the Christmas and New Year period, when materials and supplies can be hard to buy. Everything required for this project was on hand and a great project for any time I got spare. This board was made from all recycled material, and we think it came up very well. It added nothing to the cost of the boat, except for some timber glue. While this board was made from solid timber, glued into a large blank, this technique will work just as well to shape a blank made up from sheets of plywood. We will revisit this board later when it's time to fibreglass everything, but in the meantime we think this video follows some interesting techniques.

The Guide explains and provides examples of how we can travel eating a variety of healthy and delicious meals for up to 6 months at a time on our tiny boat with no resupply. There has never been a better time to start learning how to increase the food storage potential of your home. I hope this guide will inspire you to make more informed long term provisioning choices for the future!
