BTW, regarding building complexity, IMHO there isn't much difference between AR15, CR13 or CR11.
For what I've seen from your pictures, their basic structures (meaning bulkheads, hull and decks) are about the same. The differences have to do with each boat's size and potential performance, hence different scantlings. This means more material to use, more work to be done but not necessarily greater difficulty.
Regarding rigging, that's where the AR15 can become more complex, specially if you want to really take advantage of the larger sail area. But again, the basic layout is (or can be) about the same for the three models referred.

Well I think there is, at least a bit. Oscar (Xor) is my brother-in-law and he's building the AR-15 (Look at Xor's building gallery) so I'm following very close the AR-15 and CR-11 building processes. The main diffferences appart from size are that AR-15 has a false sole, pivoting centerboard and is multichined and IMO the CR-11 plans are more detailed. In any case everybody can build both without many problems, so good luck and keep us posted.Jonnas wrote:BTW, regarding building complexity, IMHO there isn't much difference between AR15, CR13 or CR11.

So Jordi,Oscar (Xor) is my brother-in-law and he's building the AR-15
I bet you will also be sailing the AR15 but, smartly, let your brother-in-law take care of the more complex building ...
I'm just kidding. Good luck to both of you. Please keep posting pictures to help motivate others to build (myself included )
Best regards.

Time to upload more pictures and keep you posted about my CR11 building:
After hull was stitched, I applied first epoxy layer in&out, epoxy+filler tabs, removed the plastic ties and sanded it. Then I applied tape in keel, chines, etc... first rubrail layer (6mm plywood) and made the centreboard hole in the keel:
Finishing the rubrail (3 layers of 6 mm plywood):
Ready to the FG:
Cheers,

Detail of the transom ready for fillet and Fiberglass, note red lines for the biaxial double tape to be laid correctly overlapped.
And the work afterwards, all wet on wet:
This is already the second epoxy layer. I hope soon I'll be able to show you the whole interior completely fiberglassed.

I'm back into business!
Following the plans and further Jacques’ recommendations I’ve cut in the bottom of the CR-11 the whole hole for the daggerboard case, not only for the daggerboard itself…
And installed it with some spots of epoxy + fillers.
Then I made some fiberglass work! Soon the interior will be finished and I’ll work on the rigging:

Finally the interior fiberglass work is completely done!!!!
The aft part of the daggerboard case is reinforced to support the mainsheet:
And the daggerboard and rudder are shaped to a NACA profile (well, more or less...):

Now let's see the work area where he actually builds it... somehow I don't think people are dining at that table while the sander is going...
Looks like a nice sturdy little boat. The study plans are certainly helpful, but pictures like these do tell a more personal story that encourages the whole *Hey, I'm building a boat!* thing. Looks great. Thanks for the postings.
