ianmajor Posted April 20, 2013 Share #7 Posted April 20, 2013 Lami, Great work. If I understand the pictures correctly the running rigging is routed through brass tubes to the drive pulleys. Do you have to use some form of lubricant in the tubes? Ian M. Quote Ian M. Current build: HMS Unicorn (1748) - Corel Kit Advice from my Grandfather to me.

lami Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share #13 Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Hi, many thanks for your kind comments. As correctly assumed we are using brass tubes to get the running ringging below decks. No lubrication is needed as the ropes are made from synthetic material and are gliding very good within the tubes. The following pictures show the lay of the brass tubes from the belaying points to below-decks within the double walls of the upper deck.

lami Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share #21 Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Hi, with the Banterer nearly finished I wanted to show some actual pictures. The most work over the last 6 month was the sail making each sail took me an average of 40 hours to make. Build time was now nearly 7 years and we hope to let her sail on May 2nd for the first time.

lami Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share #25 Posted April 22, 2014 the Banterer has a displacement of about 24 kilos. The upper part of the hull weights 10 kilos with about kilos on the water line and 6 kilos high above (masts, Sails, cannons, ...) and the lover hull weights 6 kilos. So we have 8 kilos of ballast. 5 kilos in the form of lead balls are sunk in Epoxy in teh lower hold. above that we have 3 kilos in the form of lead bars to trim the ship. Tests indicate that no external ballast will be needed ( I hope that proves right :-) ) We are also able to lover the Topgallant Yards to reduce the sail area. I will post some pictures as soon as she had her first voyage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Y Posted April 22, 2014 Share #26 Posted April 22, 2014 Wow! What kind of a glue do you use? And how do you prevent the hull from warping when wet? Planks will expand, and then leave the gaps when dried. Or there is a trick to prevent that? Looking forward to see the video of first voyage, and more detailed photos! Incredibly interesting project!

lami Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share #27 Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) We are using normal water proof white glue for the wood, for the Copper plates we used cyanid quick glue. Over all of this is a layer of semi gloss boat paint. This combinatiion protects the hull very well. Edited April 23, 2014 by lami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lami Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share #28 Posted May 4, 2014 Here are some pictures of the maiden voyage of our Banterer as you can see she is riding still very high on the water indicating that about 4 kilos of ballast are still missing to stabilize her. Next steps will be to give her more ballast before her next trial. daHeld, Aussie048, Mike Y and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
