bridgman Posted June 23, 2015 Share #62 Posted June 23, 2015 Pete: Didn't realize plans for current racing boats were available, always heard they here " proprietary" because of the competitive nature of the races. Do you have a source that is available? Have you ever tried a paste wood filler on balsa, fills the grain very well.

pete48 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share #63 Posted June 24, 2015 Hi bridgman, While I was researching and building the Volvo Open 70 (she can be seen in the gallery) I came across the drawings for the Volvo 65 ( Google ) wich is the same drawing ( lines drawing ) on posting # 1 of this build log. I generally use Bass wood for planking, along with West System Epoxy or Epifanes Varnish ( if I am going for a natural wood hull finish) I thought I would try Balsa again after a disastrous experience and unfortunate end to the NZL-20 build log ( the 92 Americas cup challenger, designed by Bruce Farr ) The Balsa did work out well on this build along with Titebond 3 ( water proof ) and combined with sawdust made a really good filler Best Regards, Pete Omega1234 and IgorSky 2 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 June 25, 2015 Author Share #64 Posted June 25, 2015 Over the past few days, I Made the 2 Rudder blades Painted them Yellow ( as per plan ) Made the Keel and Bulb and painted it flat black . Today, I started by making the 3 grinders for the cockpit , I then painted them a flat black , along with the Bowsprit. I then turned my attention to installing the Rudder blades and Keel. I then masked off the Cabin top and painted it Black , I then installed the Bowsprit . Next will be to make the Nav/Com Tower ( to house the Inmarsat ) and the 2 steering stations .

pete48 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share #65 Posted June 25, 2015 Today, I started the day by laying out and fabricating the Com Tower . I started by making the Base, the Middle shelf ( wich will house the Inmarsat/Sailor 500 Fleet Broad Band ) and the top ( wich is for the GPS and tracking that sits atop ) I then cut and shaped the Metal tubing , wich makes up the side rails. , at this stage just the shelf's and rails have been glued. I then turned my attention to making the Sailor 500 Fleet Broad Band Dome ( it sits on the middle shelf ) , Next will be to get the parts ready for paint.

waikiwi Posted July 7, 2015 Share #70 Posted July 7, 2015 Hi Being following your build and just wanted to say you are making a beautiful job. Very inspiring! I love the detail you are putting in her. I was just wondering, do you have any concerns regarding the flatness ie lack of rocker in her? I was thinking of trying to build a rc one, but was just wondering whether their sections are a bit flat and need more depth so they won't submarine too much. Also, what was easier? The Volvo 70 or this one? Am only a beginner but have made a couple of models so planking is no probs Thanks pete48 and IgorSky 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete48 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share #71 Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Hello waikiwi, Thank you , This one is being built static and has been a pleasure to build , as far as the rocker, I am building her as per plan ( lines drawing on posting #1 ) There is a company that makes a RC version ( stock maritime ) and they followed the same drawings that I am using , ( with the forward or bow sections sealed off or water tight will add more buoyancy ) thus preventing submarine effect you speak of. the Volvo Open 70 was a lot easier to build than the 65 , this has been a very challenging build ( I enjoy a good challenge ) Yesterday I started on a Sailing version of this boat so that she may go in the water. I have cut out all the frames and I am getting her set up in the building jig ( I will post photos later today) she will be the same Scale as this one. Here are a few pics of the stock maritime RC version Best Regards, Pete Edited July 7, 2015 by Pete48 mtaylor, Omega1234, UpstateNY and 4 others 7 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...

flying_dutchman2 Posted July 8, 2015 Share #75 Posted July 8, 2015 Slick paint job and I love the way you did the painting towards the bow. How did you do this? The way you are building these boats.... you may want to start selling these as kits. Marc Omega1234 and pete48 2 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

pete48 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share #76 Posted July 8, 2015 Hi waikiwi, On the Volvo 70 I used the plans for the Camper boat ( also a Farr design) for the Hull and Deck , The Volvo 65 has very precise lines ,( no margin for error ) where as the Volvo 70 has more rounded lines ( thus making the tolerance larger and more forgiving) Thank you Patrick, I may just do updates to the Sailing version in this log ( I have not decided yet ) Thank you Marc, First the Hull was painted white , I then laid out the design, in this case the lines are at a 45 degree angle from the waterline . I then cut strips of masking tape ( to match the plan ) and applied them to the Hull. I then sprayed 2 coats of Black and once the paint dried I removed the masking tape giving me the desired Paint scheme. Very interesting , I had not thought about making a kit , you may have something there , I will have to look into it Best Regards, Pete mtaylor, Omega1234 and flying_dutchman2 3 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...
waikiwi Posted July 8, 2015 Share #77 Posted July 8, 2015 Thanks for that information. I think I might start building a Volvo 70 then! planning on making it a bit larger than yours - probably around 1m, just because of where it would be sailed. Is there any advice you could give me regarding any potential difficulties? Thanks pete48 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete48 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share #79 Posted July 9, 2015 Hello waikiwi, The best advise I can give is to take your time measure twice and cut once, All the Bulkheads are made out of Basswood, I only use Balsa to plank the Hull.

I then made the Main sheet Traveler along with the winch box ( that sits forward of the Traveler) I then Painted the Traveler Flat Black and the Winch box White. I then laid out the Cockpit for the Grinders and steering stations. Next I installed a Volvo logo on the Cabin bulkhead, followed by the 2 forward Grinders the Winch box and Main Sheet Traveler.
