    1) Restoration a iron antique scale model (1.15) from a "Blazer", a Dutch flat bottom fishingboat with leeboards. I'm not sure how old the antique model is but I guess around 1900.. Most original parts are availible.

    2) Making a technical drawing from the sailingboat "Spray", the yacht witch Joshua Slocum sailed around the world alone in 1897-1901.Intent to build this model in scale 1:10 as a RC model, in traditional builingmethod.

    Present project:

    Hi Bob, Great model you made!.... Nice details. I have the idea to build the Spray from Joshua Slocum also. After reading all his books, I see Joshua as my hero! I'm a sailor myself and sailing at sea for 30 years . What he did was, in that time, an amazing trip. After reading his stories I found lots of information about his trips, his boat and a very nice inpressive youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iciZer5cbJ8 So, i desided to build the Spray in scale between 1;10 or 1;15 ( moreless between 73 cm and 1.10cm ) in traditional bent framing method. Many drawings are availible on internet. After several photos I made up my plan in detail. And the Spray must able to sail with RC. So, the structure must be strong enough, mostlikely keperglass and epoxy inside. For sure I will make photos during the builing and leave some meassages and pics here on the forum. regards, Barend
