Argie 15 from Giovanni Mantovani - work in progress

Update on the progress of our Argie 15. 
I chose to make the bilge  keel, a bit more bulky in the cockpit, but more practical in adjusting the up and in navigation in the presence of shallow water such as in the Venice Lagoon.
For the dimensions I took a cue from the variation of the original project, but avoiding to cut the bench in the beam.
I redesigned both the case and the keel board and devised support plates with the rotation pin welded to be inserted from above the channel, so as to avoid drilling the case to insert a through rotation pin.

You will see this detail later, when the blacksmith will deliver the piece to me.
