Simon, see the below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scale_model_sizes At 1:96 scale, one foot = .125 inches or 3.175 mm or .3175 cm "1ft is 30.46cm so 10ft is 304.6cm" Simon, I don't understand where these numbers come from? -
Gill, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

Bob, would love to follow your build log. A single step and all that.
-
Which one, Roger?
-
Dang, Bob. Steel hull? And I suppose all the woodwork has been polyurethaned instead of varnished?
-
Oh, I might have one for old times sake. At our age all the adventure's been squeezed outta the tube, ain't it a shame.

Looking for advice on making billowed sails

Biggsy, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard. -
Melissa, everything is looking peachy. Say, did you have a chance to go by the house that This Old House was renovating there in Saratoga Springs? If so, was it the circus it appears to be on TV?

Simon, to you and all our UK members, my deepest sympathy. While we don't have kings and queens here in the US (other than those who think themselves such) she was like our Queen also. She reigned as Queen my whole 75 years and today, I am deeply saddened. The Queen is dead. Long live the King.

Ask Kobi if he'd like his tail feathers trimmed.

I'm sure that made it difficult for your marriage. Dealing with the crew first left you and your family problems till last.

Demostenes, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

A good theory but it doesn't explain why each line would end with an eye. If it was to dampen blast fragments a line with a simple knot at the end would have sufficed. "to obscure its location in the rock face, like the stripes of a tiger." Would work till a lantern was lit.

Bob, each line terminates in an eye. Do you think it could have been for safety? If someone stumbled through the port it would provide a last chance grab. Weird.

She's a beauty. Nothing to do to her except lounge about and sip 5 o'clock martinis. Bob, let's go in halves on this one. This is the one to buy if money REALLY doesn't matter. https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1902-herreshoff-gaff-cutter-7731399/

Yeah, I was disappointed not to see cabin photos or info on when she was last surveyed. You can tell the topside wood needs to be sanded and revarnished and maybe a new coat of white deck paint. None of the bright work has a closeup photo, the sails look good. She's tired but at a hundred and seventeen years old I guess that can be expected. Beautiful lines to her.
