Today, I started by making the Tiller, I almost had the first one complete when the Egg on the tip broke off, I then had to make a second one, it is nearly complete and then need to be finished. I then Made the Boom Vang and installed it to the Mast and Boom. Next will still be to make the cleats and raise the Sails. Here are the results

Hello, Piet, I used balsa on the first one because it was built to be Static. The Basswood works well with West System epoxy and will make the Hull strong. I am hoping to have the Herreshoff finished this weekend
Best Regards,
Pete

Today, I started by making the remaining blocks. Next I secured the Standing rigging by attaching them to the Turnbuckles. I then ran the running rigging. Next will be to make the Cleats, Tiller and raise the Sails. Here are the results

Thank you, Patrick, The grey Hull was nearly complete when I finished the first one, It took about a week to get to the point where the one on the jig is ( it does not seem that quick to me )
Best Regards,

I am hoping to get some work done on the Herreshoff today ( I will post pics later ) I have been doing Pre- work for the 1/2" scale Volvo pond Yacht with the Volvo that I started, I then ( after planking with Balsa ) Realised that I wanted to do some water testing at the smaller scale to help with rudder and keel configurations, So I started another and will be using Basswood for the planking, Here is where I am at with that project

Thank You, Elijah, I spent a lot of time pondering, and making ( lots of trial and error ) more up to date looking blocks, I am pleased with how these look

Today, I started by making the Turnbuckles, I then turned my attention to making the Blocks, I thought about this a lot and I wanted them to look more like real Blocks. I modeled these after the Harken Blocks on my boat. Another thing that I wanted was to have the Halyards in easy reach of the Cockpit rather than have them Cleated to the Mast. ( this is better for single handing the boat )I then attached the Turnbuckles and prepped the Mast for the Standing rigging. With the stays attached to the Mast, I installed the Jib halyard Block and the Blocks for the Halyards. I then ran the rope for the Halyards extra long. Next will be to finish making the blocks for the running rigging and install the standing rigging. Here are the results
