pete48 Posted December 30, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 30, 2014 After Taking a break ,I decided to build the Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14ftr. This boat was designed by L. Francis Herreshoff . What he had done was to lengthen his father's ( Capt Nate ) Famous 12 1/2 . I have the plans and have built one ( it can be seen in the Gallery ) I did get the Keel layed out and next will layout and cut out all the frames. The boat will be built in a 3/4 " = 1' - 0" Scale Here are the results after day 1 KevinR, Aussie048, mtaylor and 8 others 11 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete48 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share #10 Posted December 31, 2014 Today, I lofted out all the frames , as per the offset table. I then layed out all the frames on the wood ( Bass wood ) It took longer than I remembered the first time . I am pleased with how she is turning out so far. Next will be to cut out the frames and set up the Keel.

pete48 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share #19 Posted January 9, 2015 Today, I started by truing up all the frames , Next I glued in the first 4 frames then built the Mast step , I then attached the 5th frame ( or frame 7' - 6" ) , this was one of the things that is easier to do now rather than the way I did it on the first one . Next will be to detail the cockpit frames and install them. All the connections were glued with Titebond 3 ( waterproof glue, as she is being built so that she will be able to be sailed ) Here are the results IgorSky, mtaylor, Aussie048 and 10 others 13 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete48 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share #23 Posted March 21, 2015 Well, I finally got back to work on the Herreshoff. I started by detailing the Cockpit section , this time around I was able to get the frames cut deeper . ( this was something that I wanted to do the first time around ) I then detailed the frames for the aft Deck ( with the correct camber ) next I added a nice pice of birch ply to the Transom and stained it a Cherry Red. then the Frames were installed into the Keel. Next will be to Fair the Frames and get her ready for planking.

Omega1234 Posted March 21, 2015 Share #24 Posted March 21, 2015 Looking nice, Pete! I'm surprised at the amount of camber that's on there, though...or maybe that's the way it is. Either way, your ship's going to be a beauty. Will this one be Radio Controlled, or maybe free sailing like your first one?

pete48 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share #25 Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks Patrick, I should have explained myself better in regards to the camber on the Aft Deck. I saw a Buzzards Bay 14 at the wooden Boat show (Seattle ) with the camber as I had done this time ( I liked the way the deck planking sat on it ) This one will not have radio gear, and will free sail as the first one did. I am considering bumping up the scale to 1" = 1' - 0" so that radio gear could be installed .

Omega1234 Posted March 23, 2015 Share #28 Posted March 23, 2015 Hi Pete It's always a pleasure watching your ship's coming to life. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the Herreshoff ship's are so nice to look at, especially when viewed from the rear or from the rear quarter. Either way, the shapely elliptical shaped transom is a sight to behold. I look forward to watching this one hit the water All the best Patrick pete48 1 Quote MY SCRATCH BUILT MODELS ARE: Splendid Mega Yacht https://modelshipworld.com/topic/28576-splendid-by-omega1234-scale-1500-mega-yacht/ Majestic Mega Yacht https://modelshipworld.com/topic/28483-mega-yacht-majestic-by-omega1234-miniature/ Sapphire Mega yacht https://modelshipworld.com/topic/21088-sapphire-by-omega1234-1388-scale-mega-yacht-66m-8-inch-hull-length/?tab=comments#comment-639898 Genesis - Supersports Mega Yacht https://modelshipworld.com/topic/18168-genesis-by-omega1234-1300-49m-mega-yacht-8-inches-long-finished/?tab=comments#comment-559026http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/14141-shadow-by-omega1234-scale-1300-luxury-60m-mega-yacht-8-inches-long/ SHADOW Luxury Motor Yacht http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/11384-majellan-by-omega1234-luxury-37-metre-motor-yacht-miniature-7-inches-approx/ Majellan Luxury Motor Yacht http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9261Rainbow-j-class-racing-yacht/?p=273543 Rainbow J Class Racing Yacht Mystic Classic Motor Cruiser Symphony Ingomar Schooner: Scratch build Dorade Schooner: <p> Lennox Restoration Warship http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9577-pandora-cutaway-dockyard-style-miniature/?hl=pandora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
