The very last French dory is in a museum.

Have started the Artesania Latina kit for a French built Newfoundland dory.
Build wise there are several things I am curious about, for example, that the masts have no stays.
Also, the oar being used as a bow-spit to stay the mast forward, when you have the sturdy bow?
That said, I've seen references that each dory "skipper" could rig his dory as he liked it. So there could be a lot of variations used.
Two masts also seem a complication for a rig that would need to be rigged down for transport on a schooner.
If you have information on such dories, please let me know.

The amount of thought and detail here is amazing! Have a Caldercraft Fifie "Amaranth" kit that I'm thinking of building, but have to say your detailing is nearly disheartening! 😄 Well, it'll just take longer I guess. I'm sure I'll look here again to see things to consider. hope you do not mind that.

Hi all!
Just found & joined here. Have built lots of models, mostly aircraft but also a couple of ships, in my youth. The hobby has been dormant for a long time.
Then I built/modified a Kyosho SeaWind 1m RC sailboat, as a New Zealand racing sailboat, complete with commercials on the sails. That was fun, and I got a sail number from the SeaWind class club in New Zealand - they gave me 47 as that is the telephone code for Norway. 🙂
Now I'm trying to detail a RC controlled French Thonier (tuna boat), that was bought ready-built, but in my eyes screams out for detailing. Will also start to build, and have a kit for a Caldercraft Motor Fifie "Amaranth". That too will be an RC-controlled model.
Can see here already that I can learn a lot here! Looking forward to that! 👍

Now both lower planks are glued on. Tried to check for good alignment, and looked ok. So, I'll see when dry...
