Keel Offsets Available in Excel Spreadsheet

Post by Vento Solare »

A document has been posted on the J/109 Class website with the J/109 deep keel offsets in Excel spreadsheet format to complement the J/109 deep keel layout drawing. The spreadsheet was created from the pdf file previously posted on the site. There is a tab labeled "Metric" that is identical to the pdf file with all dimensions in millimeters. A second tab labeled "SAE" has all the dimensions converted to inches. A third tab labeled "SAE Chord" provides the Xc station position in inches. This may be helpful for someone who desires to template and fair the keel. The Excel format would allow easy export to various formats to create a CAD drawing for keel templates. I am using it to check the lines and fair the keel to these lines on Vento Solare using fairing compound, a longboard and elbow grease!

The document is available by mousing over "Info" on the main menu then clicking on "Drawings & Manuals". You will see it in the list of documents to download.
