Lainez boat racing of Ecuador

[Mrs blueskyracer]

¿Nelson, están esos depósitos de gasolina en el cuadro?

Nelson, are those fuel tanks in the picture?

[Mrs blueskyracer]

¿Qué clases de madera se utilizan en la construcción del barco?

What kinds of wood are used in the boat construction?

[nelson yela]

2 tanks come in 7 gallons of gasoline, that amount of gasoline is for the regatta Guayaquil-Vinces..

[nelson yela]

My friend Pancho uses oak wood, Oak wood is strong and lightweight; the boat with full equipment and tank can weigh 110 to 115 pounds

I remember the days before epoxy, masking off the under side of the deck where it is to be glued & sealing with polyurthane.

Nelson,
Are you sure it is Oak, Oak is very strong, but not light weight!

Nelson,
¿Estás seguro de que es, roble es muy fuerte, pero no la luz de peso!

Hola Darrell.
La madera que usa mi amigo Pancho es Roble, el Roble es liviano pero recitente..y el bote queda liviano

El roble es pesado fuerte pero general en los Estados Unidos.

In the United States Oak is strong but very heavy

[nelson yela]

El roble del sector norte del Ecuador (ESMERALDA)es un poco pesado, pero el del secto centro del Ecuador (Los Rios) es liviano

¿Qué madera es la madera para el barco. ¿Dónde está el hecho de madera contrachapada. Usamos okoumé de África y se hace en las fábricas en Europa.

Aca se usa el roble para hacer las cuadernas del bote (esqueleto), y para forrar se usa el plywood marino que se frabrican en Ecuador (3.6/5.2/9mm)

Facinating clips on the construction. Very nice work for the conditions and the tools used.

Is that glue the Weldwood Resorcenil 2 part product used in plywood lamination?

What type of plywood is being used?

Is the hard wood used some type of local mahohany?

Why are there carved multiple steps on the left non trip side? Seems that would be used on the right non trip for left turns or are different turns used in Ecuador

Thank you

Peter

[nelson yela]

thanks for the comment and question, the wood used in Ecuador for the boat building area is the Oak, is a strong and lightweight , boat racing is the same way that we run in APBA

greetings from Ecuador
