Rick - that was always going to be the plan but as time goes by I am refining it. Indecision is the sincerest form of procrastination.

Another good way to avoid the problem Keith.

Great "I can't make my mind up" option Stephen.🙂

Yes John - I know the logic. Am I the only one that thinks they look incongruous on a 1901 shaped hull?

All votes will be counted Veszett.
 
I think you may be on to something there Yves.
 
Not wanting to jump to a snap decision on paint finish I diverted to another controversial area. I refer to the stabilisers. Clearly they were not a feature of the 1901 build and were presumably included in the 2007 rebuild to make her more comfortable for the more delicate sailors of the 21st Century.
 
I personally think Cangarda looks quite odd with the stabilisers fitted but unfortunately I can't bring myself to omit them (departing markedly from her rebuilt form).
 
Courtesy of Rick I have some rather good shots of the stabilisers and these plus a bit of educated scaling allowed me to do a reasonably good job of getting their size and shape correct. As with the rudder, I am making them from a brass core clad with mahogany. The next shot shows the dimensions and the already cut brass plates (1/16" thick). The 2 plates are held together with double sided tape at this stage.

The plates were then cut to shape and a 1/8" slot was milled out for the shank.

The 2 plates were then separated and the shanks were cut from 1/8" brass rod.

The shank needed to be soldered central to the plate, so for soldering stage the plate was supported on 2 off 1/32 twist bits (as per the next photo).

The solder was then cleaned up.

Mahogany planks were then glued to the brass - note the slot in the mahogany to take the shank.



Once the mahogany was secure I used my patent bulldog clip method to control sanding of the aft end taper.

The front end needed a slightly different approach because of the trapezoidal shape. In this instance I temporarily attached a sacrificial strip with double sided tape.

The two stabilisers were thus completed.

 
I now plan to move on to sorting out the hull paint scheme.
 
 
 

Craig / Valeriy and all other visitors to my build - thank you for your contributions.

Yves, I feel compelled to resit my desire to exclude them. I am hoping that finishing them in mahogany to match the lower hull will cause them to fade into the background. 🤞
As for breakages.😬

Given how small they are relative to the hull and the probable cruising speed of the yacht, I imagine that they were probably not particularly successful in attenuating the roll.  However, knowing that they had been installed (expensively, no doubt), perhaps the owner(s) just "felt" better.

Should be an interesting turning project Keith and I could always make you one if need be.

There does not seem to be any chimney - a steam pipe or two would seem to be the obvious solution - probably using exhaust steam.

The stern wheel looks excellent Keith.

Very novel approach to hull building. I like it.

Stunning result Valeriy.

I must say they do look a bit odd. Maybe a detail to be forgotten after all?
