    Thanks Patrick, I should have explained myself better in regards to the camber on the Aft Deck. I saw a Buzzards Bay 14 at the wooden Boat show (Seattle ) with the camber as I had done this time ( I liked the way the deck planking sat on it ) This one will not have radio gear, and will free sail as the first one did. I am considering bumping up the scale to 1" = 1' - 0" so that radio gear could be installed . Best Regards, Pete

    Well, I finally got back to work on the Herreshoff. I started by detailing the Cockpit section , this time around I was able to get the frames cut deeper . ( this was something that I wanted to do the first time around ) I then detailed the frames for the aft Deck ( with the correct camber ) next I added a nice pice of birch ply to the Transom and stained it a Cherry Red. then the Frames were installed into the Keel. Next will be to Fair the Frames and get her ready for planking. Here are the results

    Today, I started by truing up all the frames , Next I glued in the first 4 frames then built the Mast step , I then attached the 5th frame ( or frame 7' - 6" ) , this was one of the things that is easier to do now rather than the way I did it on the first one . Next will be to detail the cockpit frames and install them. All the connections were glued with Titebond 3 ( waterproof glue, as she is being built so that she will be able to be sailed ) Here are the results

    I have not done an update for a while, the truth is that I got side tracked on the Herreshoff 12 1/2 . I decided to try out the Keel revisions that I had done. ( after building the proto type ) I will have an update on the Buzzards Bay in the next day or so . Here are a few pics of what I have been working on, with the Buzzards Bay 14 in the foreground in photo #1

    First Happy New Year, Today, I cut out all the frames and set up the Keel to accept the frames , Next will be to detail the frames ( seats deck camber etc.) The first thing that I did differently than the first one was to lower the cockpit floor . I am pleased with the way this one is turning out. The frames are just dry fit into the Keel Here are the results
