The finished Bilge keel on Solebay. When I get round to building the next ship probably HMS Grenville or HMS Veralum I will add bilge keels at the start of the build

They certainly look the part Pegasus, I was thinking of using L shaped angle but your idea of using triangular plastic looks a much better solution. Can I ask were you got it from as I can’t seem to find it online?

I found four lengths in a mixed lot of Raboesch I bought at one on the clubs bring and buy sales it contained a number of different shapes I think together there was around 30 lengths altogether and it cost me £2

Having re ballasted the ship and added bilge keels I have now repainted the hull and will refit the super structure and repair any damage while the ship was upside down hope to get down to Richmond sometime next week but will test in the bath before then. will keep you informed of results

The addition of bilge keels certainly make a difference I also checked my Flower class corvette that had bilge keels from the start the figures were almost identical to the Solebay. The final test will come probably next week as we have child minding duties the rest of the week. The ship sits well in the water sitting right on the waterline.

Nice modification Pegasus.
can you tell me the dimensions of the strip you used?
I might add them to my Cossack as well now that I see your results.
Can you give your test sail results as well (with the wind etc? I have most troubles with the wind).

Thanks for all the information Pegasus, I’m going to take Javelin to Rouken Glen on Friday morning as the weather looks great, I’ll work out the times for the rolling under sailing conditions and apply your fix.

The Solebay is 1221 mm long I set the bilge Keel 390 mm from the bow and used 490 mm bilge keels. The Cossack is similar in size so I hope that helps.

yeah, but what are the dimensions of your bilge keel, aka how much does it stick out etc.

I used 5mm 60 degree triangle and fitted so that the bilge keel is 5mm at the bottom of the hull see picture. You could use a larger triangle like a 6 or 7mm
