Last year I boasted taking on a trip to Gotland with Kvark. The pandemic put a dent in that plan. However this was a small dent and the plan still holds – now panned for July 2021.
Work was done on Kvark last season and it is ongoing this season too. We are planning on getting her launched in end of April.
Last year I had a helping hand from Hans-Hubert moving Kvark to a new location, thank you! Removing loose fiberglass and putty, adding a fresh coat. A fore view to the guiding rollers/wheels installed on the trailer. This will make getting Kvark onto the trailer simpler. Looking good! 1/7 windows replaced. Close view of the trailer guiding wheel. Did some painting on the hull. It still needs a fresh coat. Stainless steel fittings I made for keeping the rudder tiller in the sheet. It used to come loose all the time. This is how the pin I made holds the tiller in the rudder sheet. A first 3D printed mockup of the electrical fuse and switch box of Kvark. Switches are IP67, waterproof, the rest of the fittings in the box are not. 3D printed navigation lights (except for the green plastic). A detail view of the trailer “back stopper”. A CAD view of the electrical switch and fuse box of Kvark. I welded a back-stopper to the Kvark trailer in order to better fix her position on the trailer. This way it is easier to get her on the trailer and also enables better loading of the car. 3D printed navigation lights – left and right.
Hello from Canada, are plans available for this interesting little boat KVARK? If so please advise. Gerald Acord, old77fart@gmail.com. Thank You
Hi Gerald, we don’t have plans of the customizations we did (sharp bow etc), but otherwise they are available from http://www.jwboatdesigns.co.nz/plans/fafnir/index.htm! Cheers, Joosep
Could you post a picture of the inside, and show how much space there is?
Hi, check the video on our latest post for some shots of the inside. It’s pretty roomy – seats 4 with ease and a ton of space for gear. Sleeping would be a different matter…
