This was my little boat that I had restored many years ago

The lines also resemble the Majorcan Llaut

Work beginning

Photos of other" Schifetto"

Modified designs

I got the project from another schifetto designed by the shipwright Tonino Sanna on which a commercial kit was made

The photos posted were taken by me in 2008 during a regatta

The boat I was inspired by is a 7.5m " Mamma rosa "

Hello everybody
I decided to take a break for the construction of the Enterprize, a very complex job, due to the shorter time I have in this period.
At this time I decided to make a simpler model that I have wanted to build for years.
A typical boat of the Mediterranean, the schifetto carlofortino, a gozzo that has the characteristic of having the sides with curved rowlocks.
Originally these boats were used for coral fishing or fishing for fish and lobsters, or other transport for trade along the Mediterranean coasts.
Those for trade were larger in size, even at 18 meters.
Now many have been rebuilt for lateen sailing sport regattas, making them very beautiful with the use of precious woods such as teak, iroko and mahogany.

Hello all

the work I want to publish is the 1/48 scale HMS Enterprise 1774 vessel.

I started from the CAF model kit and I customized the model creating the complete interiors.

For the realization, I used various documentation, including the Pandora monograph, Shipright 1/96 drawings, and different documentation collected by the Forums.

I have reported on the scans of the caf drawings in 1/48 the scans of the Pandora drawings in order to have a uniform scale, and those of Shipyard.

The model is half wrapped and half exposed.

Welcome Tom

Thanks to you and Chuck for making this collaboration possible.
I'm building the Enterprize and I'm finally happy to be able to publish it.
See you soon
