    Looks good Elijah, nice job. ian

    Thanks Ross. If you do go for one you won't be disappointed. Zoran from MarisStella is very helpful as is Don who is just finishing up his Trabukolo, the Brazzera sister ship. Ian

    Thanks Elijah. I hope to get it finished within two weeks. Keep,up the gunboat build! ian

    Thanks Doug. I wanted to ask you about Bluenose kits. I might be able to get my greedy hands on a piece of the planking that they just used on the refit. Angelique I believe. Ian

    Nice job Doug. You do a good job showing how you do things. I need to improve on that for my logs. I expect we are going to see some Sherline mill examples soon. Best, ian

    Good Day, I guess this will be my second to last post for the Brazzera. Almost done. I thought I'd try out some natural daylight shots for a change. Only small tidy up things to complete: cleat and arrange all lines, add oar locks and oars, cathead block system and a stand. Ian

    Absolutely beautiful work and boat Jack. Thanks for sharing. Best, Ian

    I just read through your log. Nice job! Ian

    Thanks Don. It seems to be going a lot faster now. ian

    Thanks Elijah. I wish I could answer your question but I can't. i can say however that it is not all that unusual. I wonder if it would present some asymmetric helm effect. Hey your gunboat is looking sweet. Keep up the good work! ian

    I love it Don! It looks like the serving machine is getting a good workout! I like your bowsprit clamp. As you know I get stuck on stupid little details like that😜. There is no danger of me catching up to your fine build in either time or quality! ian

    Thanks so much Zoran, that is a very nice explanation. I have designed the respective hinges and will give them a try. Ian
  13. Seventynet
    If you make it back here Zoran or if you have figured this out Don or anyone else, can you explain to me what the bowsprit fastener is supposed to look like? There are 3 plan views but I am still not absolutely positive what it supposed to look like. Is it a copper strap with eyes? Or is it a wooden cradle of sorts? And how does it attach to the cap rail? I can't seem to find any pictures. Thanks in anticipation, Ian

    I just read through your build Doug. You are doing a great job. I'm going to have to seriously consider building this kit someday. Ian
  15. Seventynet
    Ah, thanks for that explanation Zoran. Let me say this has been a very good learning experience for me, especially on how to read plans. The biggest challenge so far has been trying (and failing) to make hinges for the forward companion way and the copper and brass grudgeon and pintels for the rudder. Ian

    Thanks for the compliments Zoran, much appreciated. I think the wood in your kit is very good, very high quality. I have all these different kinds of wood lying around so it is inevitable that I'm going to use some. It is pretty hard to beat walnut for planking...in my opinion anyway. I may have some rigging questions for you soon . Not that I'm an expert by any means but I was just reflecting on the hull shape today and the relative lack of a keel and wondering how well it could sail to the wind. It looks like it would scream on a broad reach but would lumber and slide anywhere near a close haul. ?? Ian

    Hi all, A small update but I could not help it after getting the rudder and tiller completed! Nothing is glued down and lots of fiddly things to go before I can start rigging. But I have at least prepared all spars. The bird picture is of a Merlin or Pidgeon Hawk that greeted us a few weeks ago on our back fence. The cloudy background is plexiglass on a bus shelter. Thanks for looking in. All of my likes seem to have disappeared. Ian
  18. Seventynet
    Thanks Don, sure enough you did show that and shame on me for forgetting that.
  19. Seventynet
    Hey Don, can you tell me in post #440 how you formed the bent end of the spar that sits atop of the mast? I'm having trouble figuring out how to turn a piece like that. Thanks, ian
  20. Seventynet
    Lovely precise work Steve. I'm pulling up a deck chair to watch. Ian
  21. Seventynet
    Very nice looking build Don. Thanks for sharing. Any particular challenges in putting this together? Ian
  22. Seventynet
    Nice Elijah, what EJ said!
  23. Seventynet
    Great idea Don, I'll have to try that. Ian
  24. Seventynet
    Once again, beautiful work Don. To answer your question, we have a small place at Sandy Beach, north of Lloyd, where we spend quite a bit of time. Back home now so the work on the Brazerra can get going and benefit every step of the way by your trailblazing! ian
  25. Seventynet
    Don, lovely work as usual. I really echo your words to John about the MarisStella kits, the quality is a step above other kits for sure. I've been enjoying your Saskatchewan weather just north of Lloyd for a week. It just doesn't get any better than this, except maybe for the mosquitoes😬. Anyway please give us good pictures of the rigging when you get going on that. ian
