Thank you, Michael, I will be painting the deck a sand color, the same as on the Buzzards bay 14, it should set her off nicely Thank you, Patrick, I appreciate it Thank you, Cap'n'Bob, She has a lot of the same characteristics as the Herreshoff 12 1/2 Best Regards, Pete

Thank you, David B., I have had that same dream, I would even settle for being a passenger Best Regards, Pete

Today, I decided that it would be better to get the Deck on, rather than finishing up the Cockpit. This way the Keel can be installed. I started by fairing the deck beams to the correct camber. I then cut out and installed the Deck. I then faired in the Deck with the Hull to 180 grit sandpaper. The boat will now be rigid enough to turn her upside down and install the Keel and Deadwood. Here are the results

Today, I got started by finalizing the graphics ( I did not want to over do it, so I kept it simple ) I then applied them to the deck. Next, I installed all the winches, the forward hatch the stays and the bow pulpit. I then started on the standing rigging including the running back stay's. Next will be to finish the standing rigging and move to the running rigging. I can almost see the committee boat from here. Here are the results

Thank You, Patrick, I think the larger scale will make an awesome pond yacht ( I will start it after I get a few of these completed ) I am also kicking around the idea of Australia II ( would be built static) I will be pondering it for sure, Roller furling would be nice ( we'll see ) Thank you, Piet, There are a few radio guys around here and I think the Volvo would blow them away, I am curious how well she would sail as well Best Regards, Pete

Today, I decided that the Volvo ( sail version ) that I started back in July would be made into a Sistership almost identical to this one. ( because I always wished I had done something a bit different ) So, I pulled it off the shelf ( it was kinda dusty it had been sitting there since then ) and faired the frames, I then made the Keel slot and installed it. the Boat is now ready for planking. I think a 1/2" = 1' - 0 " would make a better sail version ( 32 1/2 " in length ) I will ponder that for sure. Here are the results

Nice work Piet, Its hard to believe that these are the first carvings you have done Best Regards, Pete

Today, I started by making the Boom Vang, I then thought I would try my hand at making the Bow Pulpit, ( This is the first one that I have ever made ) It took quite some time, when I was pleased I painted the Boom Vang and Bow Pulpit Red. The Boom Vang has been installed. Here are the results
