I also paused a little.

Does this answer your question?

Thanks. I see. I thought the topsail was lowered at every tack.

Another reason for the curvature would be gravity and time. With the boom supported only at the ends gravity would eventually cause the middle to sag.

 

No. Time has nothing to do with it. There are photos of completely new schooners, with the same boom.

This is an American fishing schooner built in 1884. Photo from 1886. The boom is also curved.

I see. As a version.

One more question.

I drew a drawing of a Russian military clipper ship. But I don't understand how the topsail tack changes?

I am also building such a ship. I will follow with interest.

Question. Why did you make such a bend of the boom?

Nice looking small working craft. Weathering looks good but the white sail looks out of place(should it be weathered also?)

That's right. But the customer asked for it. It was under the white sail that he sailed on the lake as a child.

That's all. The end.

P. S. Sorry for my mess.

A total of 8 such models were built. Material-pine, linen, cambric, steel.

Assembly, installation of fittings, rigging, mast.

Without frame

The assembly is done on the frame.

Gdov-boat. Fishing and transport vessel from Lake Peipsi. They were built in the city of Gdov, where the name came from. A local traditional sailing and rowing vessel for fishing and work.

The length is about 7 ... 8 meters. Late 19th century... late 20th century. Since the 40s, an engine has been installed.

The boats had quite a busy life. I have an article about their history from the 19th century. I can post it here. But it is useless for most people, since it is not in English.

Can you tell me how large she is? Thirty six inch's long? Scale?

If I remember correctly, 1/36.

Do you have these books? I recommend buying it.

 I wish you would, the screw frigates are very underrepresented. 

First you need to finish the drawings.

I wanted to build a "Wampanoag". But I see that "Madawaska" is also beautiful.

Beautifully done!!!  Do you build other skinboat models as well?  It's very good to see this.  All the best, Harvey

Good afternoon. No, skinboat I didn't do it again. I like small sailboats of autochthonous groups. With their own specific skills. I'll publish some of my work on the sly.

I liked the model, Harvey Golden.

I decided to show my own one.

Chukotka, and the Inuit, the beginning of the 20th century.

 Material linden, linen, paper, oil.

Great looking forward to them. This representation puts mine to shame.

Not at all. Each model is good in its own way. In addition, it is difficult to compete with the team. And you don't need to.

Р.С. Together with the Alabama by the Kearsarge would look good.

The sails, spars, and rigging were made by a woman.  That's all I can say.

I'll show you the rest later.

@Dart, просто разместите изображения здесь, в блоге, что было бы лучше в соответствии с рекомендациями MSW.

Ладно.

Dart,  I assume you mean leave the metal as brass, but unfortunately, other than the bells, door hardware, and very old cannon, there is very little if any brass on the vessels I have been working on and it would not look realistic to leave it a brass color.  The guns on the model you posted are a good example of this unless they really were made of brass or bronze.  That said, the model is gorgeous.  I do try to use copper whenever possible and use liver of sulfur for blackening but brass is needed in quite a few applications for the stiffness.

I agree. Much depends on the style of performance. Brass Black gives a good result.

Maybe leave it as it is?
