The structure of the windsurf board is very simple, that is, a wooden board is smooth, it doesn't matter whether the two ends are round or pointed, insert a steady board in the middle, and make a shorter tail fin at the tail and it's done. Young people in coastal Canada and the United States make their own equipment, and few of them, except for professional athletes, buy finished products that can be completed in a few days in their own garages. However, they have a place to buy accessories and modern tools, and Hong Tao currently has no place to find parts, and all the processing has to use original tools. The most important thing is that there is no cardan shaft, how to fix the mast?

The mast on the windsurf board is not dead, but is inserted in the middle of the windsurf board by a cardan shaft. When changing the direction of the wind and accelerating, you have to keep shaking this mast to drive the sail to eat the wind. But in this era, there are no bearings, where to find cardan shafts? Hong Tao and Wen Qi tried to carve a few hardwoods such as huanghuali and tried it, but the effect was not very good, and no matter how strong the hardwood was, it was not as good as steel, especially when the volume was not large, it would be clicked after a little competition. In the end, Bo Zhu gave him an idea, he didn't need any universal shaft, didn't he just want this mast to be connected to the small hole in the middle of the windsurf board and not fall off and still be able to shake back and forth, left and right? Find a rope directly, pass through the middle of the mast made of bamboo, wear it under the windsurfing board, tie a dead knot, don't connect the mast, you can shake it at will, the rope is worn out and replaced with one, anyway, there are many hemp ropes.

The problem of fixing the mast was solved, and the windsurf board was basically successful. The sail is easy to do, twist a few bamboo sticks into a thick bamboo stick, wrap it with a thin hemp rope one by one, and connect it at a height of more than one meter on the mast, which is the sail support. The two sail braces use the elasticity of bamboo to naturally form a bow, which can not only support the canvas, but also be easy to hold without slipping, which is both light and strong.

At this time, the windsurf board cannot go into the sea, and a piece of burlap must be stained in the middle of the top of the board, which is the position where the human feet stand, and it can be done without slipping. Bindings are not necessary, and many competitors do not need them, they need to control the center of gravity of the board with different standing positions, and it becomes a burden to restrict the position of their feet too much.

Husband and wife board! This is the name that Hong Tao gave to the new windsurfing board, which means that he and Bo Zhu were created together. After the first one was done, Hong Tao tried it in the bay, and it was good! The weight of the sails is slightly larger, which is not very suitable for women and children. But it doesn't matter, just make a few more sails and masts of different sizes, the sails and masts of this thing are connected together, and if you want to change them, you can change the whole set. With the experience of making the first windsurfing board, the second and third will save trouble, and the main body can be cut in more than a day, and there is no need to paint it.

"This kid really grew up by the sea, and what he made up is not something that a family or a generation can come up with." Looking at the waves that stepped on a wooden plank on the sea, pulled a small sail and flew at high speed, and jumped in the air from time to time, Wen Lao Er was convinced. He, an old shipwright who had been passed down from his ancestors for several lifetimes, never thought that human beings could run so freely on the sea, and he didn't know the word "walking on the ground", but that's what he thought in his heart.

"Thanks to Ah Zhu, otherwise our Tan family wouldn't be able to keep him, this guy has a big heart, and he can't look down on a few hundred yuan at all. It's not what I said, it was said by the maritime merchant of the Luo family who did business in Nanfan, but I don't know what he can do with Azhu and these Tanjia boys. My boy told me that he told my grandson that the Tan family could turn the sea into their own country, which was bigger than the country of the natives. "Huang Hai didn't follow everyone back to the Ningyuan estuary, stayed in Zhenzhou to be responsible for contacting the merchants on the shore with seafood, and by the way, he also continued to be a translator for Hong Tao.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, our Tan family has never been afraid of hard times, maybe he really came from the Dragon Palace, who else is there in the country of the sea besides the Dragon King? Not to mention the children, if he takes me to the Dragon Palace, I want to see the old man! "Wen Lao Er belongs to the kind of pragmatic school, whoever is better than himself, he will believe whomever he is. Since Hong Tao promised to teach the art of shipbuilding to the younger generations of the Wen family, he followed Hong Tao wholeheartedly, even if he was asked to rebel, as long as he could keep his children and grandchildren, he would go. No matter which country or who is the emperor, if you have a craft, you will not starve to death, his idea is as simple as that.

"You don't want to try? Our Tan family has been running the sea all their lives, have they ever been so happy? Seeing that Hong Tao, Ah Zhu and Wen Qi were tired of tossing and turning, and they all sailed back to the shore, Huang Hai couldn't help it. Boat drivers, like drivers, have itchy hands when they see a good car, and will never give up when they have the opportunity to go up and drive a lap.

"I'm going to help you fix this boat, it's not going to work in the sea, the real good stuff is here. What to watch? Work! Did I bend the big material that I asked you to bend well? Your master is going to drive it to the sea in a few days, and if you delay the hour, can he teach you the craft? Wen Lao Er swallowed a mouthful of spit and resisted the temptation. He had more important things to do, Hong Tao's sailboat hadn't been repaired yet, and seeing Wen San stretching his neck and looking at the windsurfing board in the sea, Wen Lao Er almost threw the axe in his hand. In the eyes of an old shipwright, no matter how good the windsurfing board is, it is not a practical toy, and this sailboat is a precious thing, and his son is too blind, he does not serve the treasure in his hand, and he has to covet the waste in the hands of others, which makes him angry too much.

Wen Lao Er is indeed poisonous, and windsurfing is indeed not a practical thing. Hong Tao is mainly idle and has nothing to do, came up with such a not too wasteful and enjoyable toy, by the way, can also train the children's understanding of modern sails, tell them what Bernoulli's principle is all for nothing, want them to understand the use of modern sail technology, can only take the most stupid method, that is, practice makes perfect. Continuous practice and continuous exploration, and finally the perception of sails and wind melted into the blood.

The galleon didn't have time for them to practice all day, it was too advanced, and they lost the opportunity to experience the simplicity of the truth, and the simplest thing was just right. Hong Tao originally wanted to follow the Bo family back to the Ningyuan River estuary to see the crab cage, and he made three fishing tools by himself, the ground cage and the rolling hook have been tried, only the crab cage has not seen the fishing effect with his own eyes. However, Bo Fu and Chen Mingen agreed that he should stay on the beach of the Wen family and be the king of children, staring at his new sailboat while teaching children, and was considered a full-time teacher. Wen Lao Er and Huang Hai also deeply believe this, according to their statement, with three fishing tools, several families go to sea together, which can fully feed everyone in this cooperative, and there is no need for Hong Tao to go to sea to adventure again, in case something happens to the teacher, where can their children find the teacher.
