Hi Mr CelsoSan, thank you for taking time to comment. That is what I love about the history of this design. Many years of actual sailing and real life experience has resulted in this updated version of Kiribati 36. Labour of love!! Thanks Mr CelsoSan!
For my Reinke 13M, I cast the two aluminum keel molds with lead in a foundry. This was also the recommendation of Mr. Reinke and all other shipbuilders. A cavity sealant was sprayed in through a sealable opening. This sealable opening is also needed to weld the keel. After 23 years in the water, there is no problem in this respect. I recommend testing whether it is possible to weld anywhere near the sealing compound. Even the slightest contamination prevents a clean aluminum weld. The finished parts look very good. Ultimately you will need a hall, do you already have something in prospect? We plotted the 1:1 parts on Mylar film (PET), which is largely distortion-free. Good success!
Hi Albert, big thank you for comment and some VERY interesting ideas. Are you saying that you closed the keel but left opening into the lead compartments just big enough so that the lead could be poured directly into the aluminium keel? Once lead was in place you then used the cavity sealant before closing (weld) the small openings to completely seal the keel? If that is a proven method then it could save me a ton of work casting and prepping each of the 21 blocks I need for the keel. If you can point me in the direction of any material published using this method (or maybe something on the web) then super grateful. In relation to a hall, I am playing with the idea of a makeshift 'Poly-tunnel' style setup on a field behind my house OR renting a derelict barn as I have allot of farmers in area where I live. Will have to weigh up the costs/travel times and any other factors when time comes:) Thanks again!
@@modularhippo You're welcome. You're one of the few people in the world who seriously wants to build an aluminum hull himself. Further answers and information are sent by e-mail.
Hey Kite Attack!! Thank you for subscription and for taking an interest. Doing a bit of Paragliding on the side so subscribed to your channel as I hope to one day also try Kite Surfing:) Thank you for tuning in:)
Thanks for sharing all your detailed calculations. That was a unique take on all YT-DIY boat builders. I will follow your progress since I'd like to be challenged by a similar project. The keel was steel, correct? Cheers.
Hi SGT Bond, thank you for interest and for taking time to comment as appreciated:) Spent many years trying to understand the cost and 'hidden' costs in a DIY project and was extremely hard to get any figures so thought I track it in the hope to help future builders:) For this design all my parts are 5083 (marine grade) aluminium (bar from parts related to propulsion etc.). Saying that allot of good design out there in steel. Will just require a bit more maintenance once in water but bar from that very similar as far as process goes. Any questions you know where to find me:) Thanks!
Looking forward to this. Sounds like a great project. Just wondering how you want to avoid galvanic corrosion between the lead and the aluminium in the keel.
@keyem4504 Thank You:) The lead will be painted in two layers of epoxy resin, and the inside of the keel boxes will be dressed with a 1mm Neopren fire retardant matt. That is the plan for now:)
Ready to see a 36-foot aluminum boat come to life? Follow along as I build it step-by-step!
This project from Luis Manuel Pinho is fantastic, and result of years crossing oceans.

Bacana! Muito bacana.
Mais um projeto do Cabinho saindo do papel.
Parabéns.
Thank You Mauro!!:)
