You're off to a good start Jeff! -
Hi Jeff, Chuck lists it as 8 sheets for the bulkheads and I do believe that includes the false keel.

Hi all, I'm starting my build log for the new and improved Winchelsea. I'm looking forward to building her here with everyone. I have yet to decide what woods I will build her in but most likely it will be pear or boxwood. I won't be able to start any real work on her until late September as work intrudes on my shop time this time of year. What little free time I will have I'll be printing and reviewing the plans and monograph and ordering up what supplies I may need. I'll also have the pleasure of living vicariously through all the builds that start before me.

Oh I remember! I used the 3/8 5 ply on Winnie V1 and thought I blew out my rotator cuff fairing her! I'll give the lite ply a try and see how the cutting goes. I've got some Super Sharps scroll saw blades that might keep the splintering to a minimum.
-
I remember it ate saw blades and was difficult to sand too. I'll gladly use the light ply! Thanks.

Ok I'll ask the first question. When I scratched the Confederacy I believe I used 5 ply birch plywood from National Balsa. Is this the type of plywood that would work for the Winnie or is there a better type of plywood available out there. Thanks

Simply amazing what you can do with that mind of yours! I could never achieve those results by hand.

Good looking wood! I really like the thought of doing the Winnie in cherry. I've used cherry on a few models and it is nice to work with and looks really nice when finished!

Oh so sweet! Very nice explanation and pictures of the wales and black strake. I've been pondering that too. I'm torn between the picture of the Amazon and how we did the deck on the Confederacy. It's fun to ponder these decisions. Enjoy your building time and a happy 4th to you too!

Thanks for the update and milling tips. She's looking great and thankfully the busy summer and complete lack of shoptime quenches my desire to start on her!
