L.F. Herreshoff Buzzards Bay By Pete48 - Small 3/4" = 1' - 0" scale - Finished


Recommended Posts

After some time away from model building ( about 3 months ), I finally have enough of a break to get a start on building the Buzzards Bay 14ftr. Designed by L. Francis Herreshoff. This will be my 3rd build log on this topic ( I have always had an admiration for this Boat ), However this build will be done in the upside down fashion.( the other 2 were built using a Keel/strongback setup ), I belive that building the Boat in this manner will ( the same as if it were built full scale ), will give a more accurate boat. I started by setting up the building jig, Cutting out the frames and setting them up in the jig. Here are the results

Thank you, Patrick, I am hoping that this one turns out as well as the second one, and will be able to Sail like the first one. 

 

Thank you, Michael, I plan to add a lot moreTeak to this one, and will be taking more time to build. ( I have put my Bags back on, and am in the process of building a few Custom Homes) so for the most part I will be building this Boat on the weekend's ( and whenever I can squeeze in an hour here or there ) I am catching up on your Bristol Pilot Cutter, that is an amazing Boat

 

Thank you, Nils, So far, She is coming out right on the money,  I am very pleased with the results 

 

Best Regards,

Pete

I have seen a few models of those done and have found them attractive with fine lines.  Where did you get the plans?

During the Week and today ( when I was able to squeeze in an hour or two ) I was able to get all the pieces cut, that make up the Keel and install them, I then installed the Rib Bands. So far the Boat lines up right on the Money, ( this is by far the best way to build this Boat ) next will be to Fair the frames and start work on the Keel. Here are the results

Today, I, started by adding the piece of Birch ply to the Transom, wich I had pre-cut. Next I laid out the parts that make up the Base of the Keel. ( this was something that I wanted to get right this time around ) I then cut out the parts and installed them. I then Faired all the frames. Next will be to make up the Keel section and add the Garboard, Followed by the Sheer plank. then were off and running to plank the rest of the Boat. Here are the results

Looking forward to seeing the planking... perhaps a couple of pics before you complete the planking.... just sayin' since you are clipping along at such speed.

Hi Pete,

Your avatar of a Herreshoff 12 1/2 caught my eye.  I'm a big fan of Herreshoff boats.  In the nineties I built a full size Joel White Haven 12 1/2, which is a centerboard version of the original (Buzzards Bay Boys Boat). I'm just finishing a Bluejacket kit of the same boat.

 

I certainly agree with your choice for a model.  I have a New York 25 on my bucket list.  Looking forward to your progress.

Good luck,

Bob

Thank you, Patrick

 

Michael, I am looking forward to the planking as well, It is my favorite part of the build. I will concentrate this week on getting the Keel made up and the Garboard installed. ( and get a few pics on here before I get carried away with planking ) 

 

Thank you, Bob, I am a huge admirer of the Herreshoff Designs, this is the 3rd time that I have built the Buzzards Bay 14. ( this Boat is an absolute pleasure to build ) I have been considering building the BlueJacket 12 1/2  ( I did a scratch build proto type of the 12 1/2 ) How is the BlueJacket kit ? I have also considered building Joel white's version of the 12 1/2 . 

 

Best Regards,

Pete

Welcome aboard Piet, I really enjoy building this Boat, The Buzzards Bay 14 is one of my favorite boats ( very pleasing to the eye ) I hope that I can capture that same beauty with this one. If it was still warm outside I would be Sailing right now 

 

Best Regards,

Pete

Hi Pete

 

she is looking lovely, they are sort of a big little yacht - but unfortunately I've never seen one in the flesh.

 

What timber are you using for the building frame?

 

thanks, MP

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the photos.  I am impressed with the fact that you pay close attention to unique Herreshoff details.  In particular, I noticed the "Herreshoff egg" on the tiller.  Also, an excellent job on the coaming.  That is a lot more difficult then most would realize.  It was the toughest piece on the full size.

 

Concerning the Bluejacket kit, it has very little to offer someone at your level.  There are several scale discrepancies and all the fittings are potmetal.  On the other hand, for the beginner there's value for the price.

 

The Joel White Haven is a substantial project.  It took me about fifteen months, but I was still working at the time.  In retrospect, I would do it again in a heart beat if I lived on the coast or on a waterway,  It was on my bucket list, having grown up on the coast of Maine.  However, the high desert is no place for wooden boats.

 

Keep up the great work,

Bob

Michael, did you take out Maria this summer? I already miss going Sailing 

 

Thank you Mark, I was fortunate to grow up around a few of these, In Port Townsend WA, ( when I was older ) I saw one that was breathtakingly Beautifully built, I modeled the rear deck on the last one after it. 

The Building jig is made from 1 X 6 Pine ( actual size is 3/4" X 5 1/2" ), the Blocks are made from 1/2" X 1/2" Birch ( varying lengths based on the width of the frames ) The Frames are made from 3/32" basswood, Keel sections are 1/8" Basswood, the planking will be 1/4" X 1/16" Basswood, the Transom is a Birch ply. 

 

Thank you Bob,  One of the details that I would like to achieve on this one is a more accurate Keel shape, I think that this one will be dialed in, with all the elements from the first 2. I thank you for the tip on the 12 1/2 Kit, I am actually considering buying a set of Plans for the 12 1/2 from Mystic Seaport, ( the offset table is blacked out ) However I read in wooden boat  ( many years ago ) that what Francis had done was take his father's ( Nate) 12 1/2 and stretch the waterline to 14 ft. with the same beam. So with some reverse engineering and overlaying the frames from the 2 boats (from the lines Drawing ) I could get a offset table for the 12 1/2  ( in theory ) I would love to build full scale again ( its been at least 20 years ) 

 

Best Regards,

Pete

Last night and this morning, I installed the planks that make up the Keel, and then installed the Garboard, I then sanded them with 220 grit sandpaper. Next will be to install the Sheer Strake and plank the Hull. Here are the results

Thank You, Michael, I am using Basswood for the Planking, wich is currently soaking in rubbing alcohol, I hope to get the first few rows of planking on today, I will have an update later

Hi Pete,

 

Alcohol!  I've used a variety of solutions over the years, but never just IPA.  Any particular reason for that preference over others?  Is it particularly suited to basswood?  Usually a water/ammonia solution works well but tends to bleach out the color of some species.

Hello Bob, A long time ago a Freind of mine that builds RC Airplanes told me about it, Alcohol dries quicker and allows You to glue up the part sooner, than Water. ( without discoloration ) I have used this Method on Teak and Mahogany as well, It works really well 

 

Best Regards,

Pete
