@Dimitris, @Marc Thank you very much your faithful and cherished companion! @Captain Al Thanks for your visit and welcome on board. Thank you also for such a nice feedback - very much appreciated! I also think that Baba 20 and Pacific Seacraft 25 are both interesting modern CA-adaptations - they both were unknown to me, but I've done instantly some researches on the Internet. What is so fascinating to me about double ender? Of course, the legendary seaworthiness, what is a highly design integral fact of this boats but also their prototypical appearance - it seems as they were drawn by children - a kind of Noah's Ark. It would be a pleasure to see a scratch build of one of your mentioned boats ... All the best, Mike

Hi Hartmut, Patrick, Lawrence and all other visitors. Thanks for visiting the shipyard and all your great feedbacks with such estimated comments! Currently the activity in the shipyard is heavily slowed down - the duties of everyday life are so many ... Anyway I could start with nailing the deck. My work was first to research the legalities of the specific manner of nailing. Finally I could derive a consistent pattern with the help of pictures of the "Colin Archer" (RS1) - "Stavanger's" nails are hard to locate on the nearly black deck. Til soon, Mike

Hi everyone ... @Michael Thank you for your constructive feedback. It forces me to reconsider certain things. Of course you're right about your concerns of wooden grain structure. Gluing of similar segments to get a uniform blank would be the correct solution. This seems to me somewhat disturbing, because by professional reasons I have very internalized static and dynamic properties of wood and usually these properties are always present to me. In this case, I have considered the subject too little from this point of view. It is well aware that there is no such a simple ring in the original, but there are individual wedges. Since I've provided to cover the mast bed with canvas, I looked at this item only as a model technical substructure - hence such a ring as one piece. After all, he is from oak, so I've to check if it holds enough under stress or not ... ... Michael, you see, there are discussions going on. @Jan-Willem Thank you for a such great testimony and appreciation. Yes, you probably noticed that correctly, this worksop has accumulated a veritable machine park - I'm myself sometimes something between amazed and scared - but someway it commits to stay at work. ... thanks all of you for feedback, comments and likes. Always greatly appreciated! Best regards, Mike

Hello everyone ... below, a short visit on a sideshow - making of the mast bed - at this time still raw, will later try to cover it with snow ... ... hmm, sorry! - I mean covering with canvas. Best regards, Mike

Hi Dimitris looks really great, this deck! ... ... I have to excuse me, if I capture your build log at this point - it was last august in holiday, Brittany (France) - and yes, of course, you were in my mind as I stumbled in on this picture ... All the best, Mike

Dimitris, Patrick, Michael, Jan-Willem ... ... What can I say? - I am very touched by your appreciation! - thanks all of you ... ... and also all of you "backstage", by pressing the "button" on the last few logs! (Carl, Greg, Nils, Mark, Paul, Mark Taylor, Matija, Cap'n'Bob, Sailor-Greg, Brian, Daniel, Igor, ... you have to forgive the incompleteness of this list). Best regards, Mike

This way, I'm sending you my best wishes for a good and rapid recovery - get well soon, dear Patrick! ... and I will hope, that Christmas holds definitely something else for you - for example, wood instead of stone - thus, it serves much more for building ships! All the best, Mike

Hi all, Patrick, Carl, Sir Blue Henry – thanks! @Carl Don't worry, I claim no copyright – you don't know what I already have "stolen" on MSW! - but ssssht, don't tell! Today I had a highly famous visitor! It was CA's inspection ... ... the old man was on the shipyard. He watched carefully every detail and at this he looked somewhat grimly - in the end he had but a little smile – “ Carry on!“, his comment ... ... “Yes Sir!“ Til soon, Mike
