Hull is all but finished . . . just the naming and scrollwork stuff, oh and a half decent stand.

Then on to getting the masts stepped

I'm giving up on trying to post an image on this site . . . . any advice guys ?

And so to sails.  These are the finished size templates . . . tomorrow off to the little village of Calstock by the Tamar to see if the little sewing shop there can turn my washed and ironed sailcloth into proper sails.  Here's a hoping.

Ordered fine white waterline striping today and some additional cotton thread

Just a quick update . . . will hopefully have a few more pics later

Hello Don . . . and firstly my apologies for not replying earlier as so many (too many) outdoor projects on the go and the weather has improved a little here in Cornwall.  As an aside . . . how's things all the way over there in Vancouver ?

My answer is YES, walnut with a button polish wipe over.  I have just ordered fine white waterline tape and am charging along on the spars, mast, winch and even the sailcloth.

Will post an update shortly

Take care

Jon

I started this build a few months ago and having just joined this forum/site wondered if anyone would be interested in the progress so far.

I'm guessing that I'm around 2/3rds the way though it but I would be more than happy to post the progress history from buying the kit on a well known auction site, tracking it across the USA, the Atlantic and the UK and trying, with problem eyes and fingers, to build this beautiful fishing/racing schooner.
