Yep - morals are a problem in most of the world!

Bob, Yes, I was following Gerald’s build until he sadly died. His jigs were fantastic. I just prefer working in wood.

That is an excellent plan. My granddaughter will be 4 in September and knows Germania is hers. I will suggest to the parents that I need a new sponsor for this one.😬

Bob, I’m modelling her as she is now with her all welded “smooth” hull. As originally built she was constructed from riveted plates as can be seen in some of her early photos. My first thoughts on painting are. Plank her hull in mahogany and overpaint above the waterline in green to match her current finish. Below the waterline leave the hull as polished mahogany. But who knows what I will be thinking in a years time☹️.

Bob, hmmm! I suppose she may have a Royal Naval Officer or reservist on board or be a member of a Royal Yacht Club, who knows? Or it may just be that the red duster is a bit lowbrow!

Many thanks Rick. Are they on memory stick? If you agree I will send you my home address by PM. If you let me know the costs I will gladly reimburse them. Best regards.

Andy - Thanks for the reference. Good job dad didn't have a Triumph Stag - he wouldn't have got very far.

Dan she was launched in 2008/9 and I can't find any signs of a hailing port since then - although I don't have a lot of pictorial evidence.

Quite messy but I have to admit it turned out a lot better than I expected. The caulking does look a little wide to me but that is easily sorted by thinner pins. Another deck caulking option for us all to consider.

Is that like "Roger the Cabin Boy" from Captain Pugwash?

Denis - over the coming weeks I am going to be generating a lot of intermediate frames which may be of some interest to you.

Bob - I thought that but then had a look at the photos I had of her since launch. Only one or two show the stern with any clarity but I can't see a hailing port on any of them. The second image is August 2021.

Bob, I don’t know but like you would be interested to find out. This is what I believe the rules are: The name and the hailing port must be displayed externally on the vessel, either on both sides of the hull or on the transom. The hailing port must include the place and a state, territory, or possession of the United States.

That’s what the admiral said ………………….. rather disapprovingly as I was pasting the plans together on the dining table earlier today. She relented when I showed her the photographs of how pretty Cangarda is. 5’9” overall length.

Great forensic dissection of you photographs Keith.

Thank you Valeriy - very useful. I'll copy your technique for Cangarda. Copying is the sincerest form of flattery.

Mark - thank you - I have started build log

Wish I knew how to do 3D printing - all the software issues and failed printing attempt I read of sort of puts me off. I admire those who have mastered the the technique as you seem to have.

Roger - i wasn't aware of this and as you say it would seem to be easily circumvented by ebooks. Maybe the law makers have been reading too much Fahrenheit 451.

Just for clarity I am certain Mark is referring to the MODEL BOAT.

In my sailing days we used to call it "surfing". Very exciting in a short keel light displacement boat.

Very nice, How did you make the propellors and "A" frames? Are the blades brazed on to the hubs and how did you achieve the twist? Ditto the bearing bosses on the "A" frames. Hope you are keeping safe.

NRG Member 148 Location Belfast, Maine #2379 Posted Monday at 05:23 PM Keith, I got some more photos of Cangarda today. Slight rain and overcast. I put in a request to get aboard to take more photos, hope to hear back sometime today or tomorrow. Note that the discharge pipes are not symmetrical port to starboard.

NRG Member 148 Location Belfast, Maine #2373 Posted Friday at 09:00 PM (edited) Keith, they just pulled a Cangarda out of the shed. It is still covered up. When they get some stairs and open her up, I’ll try to get some pictures inside. Rick Edited Friday at 11:13 PM by Rick310 Delete email

So this is the start of another build. Many of you will be aware this was coming because of the posts at the end of my now completed Germania Nova project. Rather than go into the history of Cangarda I will add a reference to a couple of documents which cover her history admirably. For many years I have admired the beauty of gentlemen's yachts built between the late Victorian period to the short reign Edward VIII (1880 - 1936). It seems to me this was a period where style and opulence over rode functionality and efficiency. They were designed to enchant the eye and not the purse and their sheer beauty was the aesthetic epitome of elegant ship design. Cangarda is the last American example of this unique type of vessel. As we all know getting the build information together for projects can be daunting and even when it does start coming together we all get the "how the hell am I going to reproduce that" moments. Lack of information and doubting my skills are my greatest barriers to making a start. Unfortunately once the information side comes together the excuse of inadequate skills just becomes a challenge and I find myself compelled to overcome. So here goes! Firstly I have to acknowledge some great people who have been ( and continue to be) instrumental in overcoming the information hurdle. I was reluctant to make a start on this build without a reasonable definition of the hull lines. A extensive internet search produced little to go on and I eventually decided that the only option was to approach Jeffrey Rutherford of Rutherford's Boat Shop inc. Rutherford's Boat Shop rebuilt Cangarda in the early 2000's and are primarily responsible for the wonderful restoration we see today. Not withstanding the challenges of running a business Jeff responded promptly to my "out of blue" email and facilitated the information that I needed. Many thanks to Jeff. Here I must also thank Andrew Davis of Tri Coastal Marine who provided the engineering expertise for Cangarda restoration project. Andrew supplied the hull lines and general arrangement drawings in PDF format. Many thanks Andy. Finally a special thank you to one of our own. I find that inevitably most photographers of beautiful vessels concentrate on the grand vistas while missing the intimate details. Videos can help as they catch the detail in passing but often they don't have the desired resolution. Video tours are better but often unavailable. The ideal solution is a visit to the ship but this isn't always possible. However MSW provides a wonderful network of very helpful people. Here I must make special mention of Rick310 who has gone well beyond the call of duty to photography all those details which make the model come to life. Thank you Rick for your past and ongoing efforts as the official photographer for the project. So a start is made. Here are some reference document for those of you interested in Cangarda's history. magadoma_cangarda.pdf ‎rutherfordboats.com-resources-CYS2006_CANGARDA.pdf.webloc https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/618/pusey-and-jones-126-ft-steam-yacht-19012009
