Mark Pearse Posted November 12, 2015 Share #33 Posted November 12, 2015 Hello Bob I look forward to watching this. Was one of the lines drawings you found by the American shipwright & designer Pete Culler? A friend has done a bit of research on Slocum & believes that Culler's was the closest. Interestingly, this friend also thinks that the design wasn't really a great choice for what he did, being such a shallow shape with no external ballast. But as we know from the text, as a boat she sailed herself very well. Do you have any reflections on this?

Julie Mo Posted November 12, 2015 Share #34 Posted November 12, 2015 I saw "Spray" and couldn't stay away! Very nice work, Bob. Really excellent detail, too! If you liked Slocum's book, you might like Bernard Moitessier's The Long Way. I think he might have more salt in his veins than even Slocum. I first heard about him from the book, Voyage For Madmen, the first solo circumnavigation race. Required reading for sailing nuts. mtaylor and Omega1234 2 Quote Julie First and only build: Endeavour - 1934 American's Cup, UK Challenger, J-Class - Amati 1:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbob Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share #35 Posted November 12, 2015 Thank you Gerty it was a fun build. Mark, I found several line drawings. Since I could not check them against the boat I checked the three views against each other and the drawings in the book won. Julie, Thanks for the complement and the list of books.

HIPEXEC Posted April 11, 2020 Share #36 Posted April 11, 2020 Bob, I'm going to try a scratch or semi-scratch build where I will open the cabins and deck like you did. I think you've done a remarkable job. mtaylor 1 Quote Rich Rich USS Constitution by hipexec (Finished build) Virginia Pilot Boat 1805 (gallery - first build) USS Syren (USS Argus) by Hipexec Joshua Slocum's Spray by HIPEXEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
