  1. Some details of the sailwinch. Again; I´ve tried to make a little dictonary: Plasticrør - styr for line = Plastictube - guide for drawline. Trækline = Drawline. Fjeder = Spring. Plasticringe = Plasticrings. Sejlvinde = Sailwinch. princip2.bmp
  2. The principles of how I´m going to control the sails (Basicly the same principles I´ve used in my other RC-yacht "Heimdal"). And for that minority of you, who DOESN´T speak/read Danish fluently, I´ve made a little "dictionary". Sejlvinde til forsejl = sailwinch for foresail, jib and flying jib. Skøde gennemføring = feedthrough for sheet. Linen passerer forbi ruller... = Line passes rollers. Storsejlsskøde = Sheet for the mainsail. Skødet løber gennem en.... = Sheet passes through pulley. Line til storsejlsskøde = Drawline for mainsail. Sejlvinde til storsejl = sailwinch for mainsail. Line til forsejlsskøder = Drawline for foresail, job and flying jib. Skøde til fok = Sheet for foresail. Skøde til klyver = Sheet for jib. Princip.bmp
  3. "Inspection in the shipyard by the skipper". My oldest daughter made these Photos. I thought I would let you see them.
  4. Hi Patrick My fault! I havn´t made a Building log of Heimdal, so you can only find her in the gallery. If you search there for Heimdal, you´ll get some Pictures of her that I´ve posted. Best regards Steen
  5. Hi Nils About the link in #5-post: I couldn´t get the link-icon to work properly, so instead I just wrote the web-adress. Try to copy this adress and use it in a webbrowser. Best regards Steen
  6. More fittings. On these pictures, the "Cooking-house" still hasn´t got the roof mounted and the windlass is in a very rough state (= painting, sanding, painting, sanding, painting, sanding...... still needs to be done ). By the way: As my scale of building seems to be the same as many dollhouses (1:12) my wife has "threatened" to install some dollhouse-things in the cooking-house; plates, mugs, knifes & forks and some sausages hanging from the ceiling!
  7. Hi Patrick You´re right. "Jens Krogh" is not the first RC vessel I have build - it´s the second. If you search for "Heimdal" here in the forum, you can see some photos of my first RC vessel - also some snapshots during sailing. I myself specially like this picture
  8. Hi Patrick. Yes, it´s not a small model. The length of the hull is a Little more than 120 cm´s (4 ft.) and the bowsprit is ca. 30 cm (1 ft.). I sure hope that she will sail in a realistic manner, and furthermore I hope I can avoid using an extern leadkeel. I´m planning to make some internal ballastpieces, which can be placed and removed through the hatch. I have made a test in a bathtub, and about 12 kg.´s will be needed to bring her down to the waterline. I intend to make 6 small leadpieces (shaped to fit inside the cargohold) 2 kg´s each. Hopefully this will be sufficient to ensure realistic sailing. Best regards Steen
  9. How the model looks today (8th of December 2015). A lot of more work is to be done. As can be seen, I have made some more "fittings" including the wheelhouse and other bits and parts. Notice the "Cooking-house" just aft the maimast. This was a special feature of fishing vessels from the Northern part of Jutland/Denmark.
