It is really starting to shape up. I like the form. What colors have you decided on.

Today I finally got the final coats of paint on Keel # 3 for a total of 9 including 2 coats of primer, I got that fiberglass gloss that I was hoping for, I then shaped the rudder and sprayed 2 coats of primer. I then turned my attention to Keel # 4 I first installed the winow glass . ( I use the plastic from X-Acto blade refill packages ) I then made the cabin top, the hatch rails ( I found a unique knot in the wood that I used for the inside face of the inside hatch rail ) and installed them I then took some Birch ply for the cabin face then installed some Mahogany for the drop board rails . Here are the results

Good Morning, Pete:
I had a Buzzards Bay 14 for fourteen years, until last month. It came with a full set of plans which the original owner had acquired from either the Herreshoff Museum or the maritime museum at Mystic.
I had it rigged as a gaff cutter, with topsail; it was great fun to sail, well balanced, very flexible, powerful and a beautiful sight on the water. I've attached a picture.
Good luck: it's a worthy project.

Pete I just found your build and find interesting. I rarely see models like this and am looking forward to see you build it. I will be taking notes.

Today I started by squaring up the frames in the Cockpit section. I then decided to cut in 2 Cockpit Floor Stringers, ( 3/ 32 " square stock )I figured I would square and plumb this section of the boat first. ( this would be from stations 6'- 0" to 13' - 6" ) after that section was glued , I then installed the rest of the frames working from the cockpit to the Bow. By working this way has kept the Boat square and plumb ( I am very pleased ) Next will be to install the rib bands the Transom and fair the frames. Here are the results

Well it happened, I found the box containing the Buzzards Bay , I was begining to think that I would never see the box again . I unpacked all the frames and the keel and dry fit all the frames, There are 3 frames that I will replace with new ones and square everything up and start building. Here are the results

Last Night I was able to squeeze in a few hours , So I finished cutting the frames that I had laid out, ( I cut out the frames that will give me a basic shape first) I only have to make 5 more frames . Nothing has been glued together and I used a piece of masking tape to hold the Transom on (its crude but hey it works ) To this point everything has gone smoothly. Here are the results

Yesterday I installed the Transom and started fairing. Today, I finished fairing the Frames to get it ready for planking, I then soaked 1/4" X 1/16" X 24" strips in alcohol . After the fairing was complete, I then was able to get 4 rows of planking installed . Here are the results

The planking looks good so far. One thing I can tell you is to make sure you are getting good contact where the planks run off the transom. With the planks running past the transom, it is sometimes difficult to tell if you have nice plank seams around the edge of the transom. The better the seam is, the less filling you will have to do.
