How to build a Mini for the Mini Globe Race - Ep. 157

In Fiji I am invited on ARGO. This is the mini from Christian Sauer. He explains about how he build te boat to compete in the Mini Globe Race. The Mini Globe Race covers 28,000 miles and is limited to 20 entrants from around the world. It should take around a year to complete. The McIntyre Class Globe 5.80 is a simple, affordable, safe, extreme-weather, ocean-capable, easily handled, fun to sail (and build) fully self-righting yacht! Features include basic plywood epoxy construction, bow crash box, three watertight compartments, six full frames, two watertight bulkheads, pine stringers and oak floors. The hull is covered with sustainable plantation 10mm plywood – a central bottom strip of plywood 20mm and deck covered with 8mm. The hull is then laminated with epoxy and glass. A 142° point of vanishing stability with central, strong skeg supported outboard rudder with three sets gudgeons and pintles, allowing simple effective trim tab wind vane steering. A simple overbuilt steel fabricated keel with lead bulb, two x 2m bunks (bunks on the cabin sole, or an athwartship bunk by lifting a floor panel). A secure comfortable cockpit, two transom balancing dagger boards, quick closing companionway hatch/door (Or 50 x 50 deck hatch closure) with 360-degree visibility observation cab with 1.6m headroom under and 1m headroom while sitting on a bunk.
