    Today, it was time to bring her to the finishing stage. I started by making the Tiller and finishing the Boom and Gaff. Next I finished the rudder by adding birch ply to both sides of the top, Creating the pocket for the Tiller. I then installed the Rudder ( I will stain the birch ply Cherry ) I then made the Brass hoop for the mast , and installed it . I then stepped the Mast and installed the standing rigging. Next will be to do all the running rigging, ( Halyards and sheets )She is almost finished . And BTW, Like I had mentioned to Geoff, I May do the revised version sometime in the future, Here are the results

    Hi Geoff, I had planned on doing a revised version once this one was finished, However in light of some new information ( regarding a different project ) I will be holding off on the rvised version for now Thank you Joe , I worked as a draftsman when I was in college, and this keeps me fresh for lofting full size boats ( and its fun ) Best Regards, Pete

    Last night, I made a revised Keel & Transom from my new drawings, I then did a mock-up using the rejected frames from the Buzzards Bay and 12 1/2 Proto-type , She lines up alot better than the proto-type,so My new numbers look good. Here are the results
