Looks good Tom, looking forward to seeing some more progress. JJ -
Chuck, I’m looking at the drawing in the profile and stern view for the stern lantern and I’m trying to determine exactly how the lantern post will attach, it appears it will land right on the middle of the carving. I am just trying to run my small light before I close up the inner counter. Are you planning on drilling a small hole into the carving to attach the post? JJ

These columns will be fun to make, are you going to take a similar approach to What was done with the bollard timbers?
-
Oh this will be exciting! Will we be installing Turned columns to support the beams?

Looking great Chuck! Are you going to add all the tackle to the guns or leave them bare? JJ

That looks good Fred, moving right along. I couldn’t even tell your panels were painted by the shade of light on them, I was going to ask if you carved your own. I’m still on the fence with painting mine... did you consider some weathering powder in the groves to help define the panels more? This is what I was thinking about doing. They look very nice. I cant give advice on the rudder box or benches, I’d see if you can find any photos of the real thing. JJ

Make sure you check the scale bar on the plan sheets, a lot oF people had issues with getting them plotted To the correct size, myself being one of them. You have to make sure the print shop folks know what they are doing.

I did the exact same thing on mine. I planked right over the frames and then added filler strips underneath to support the planks and glued it all together.

Thanks Rusty and Diver for the comments. Diver, to answer your question, yes I am building in an engine room. Winchelsea will be my 4th boat built... on a boat and she comes in second For overall nautical miles under her keel! I started Adding the panels to the stbd side tonight, making sure they are as close to the port as possible. A little trick I used to insure that the panels are square and lined up perfectly to the ports, I used a flat piece of wood that sits parallel to the gunport frame, glued it to the deck and wedged it in the frame, from there I can keep test fitting the panel until it fits perfectly between the two ports. When It comes time to glue it in place I can just put it up against the port with the wooden block and set the elevation and it will fit just as it’s supposed to without worrying about it moving side to side. I also used this on all the spirketting between the gunports as well. Hope Someone finds this is helpful. JJ

Wow! I wasn’t so sure of those resin cannons at first but that looks very convincing. Will these and the carriages all be available in the Winnie section of the store?

Have you ever had issues with any rust appearing with steel wire?

Thanks Fred, I've been getting little bits of time here and there to get work done. Sounds like you’re running wild on yours! Last week I got cabin panels in along with the last double strakes, a single nice coat of red and it came out well. I had to do some minor wood filling to make some lines disappear before paint. The captains cabin panels went in pretty well with very minor adjustments. Ive got the starboard spirketting almost complete, I spent some time tonight making sure my deck clamps were lined up as close as possible before I glued them on. I measured from multiple points as well as confirming with the eye test, using laser etched lines on the subdeck as a reference. This visual reference will be the final judge once the deck beams are in place. I’ll get them sanded tomorrow and start the panels before finishing the last few strakes.

I wasn’t going to paint my panels white but that really pushed me in the other direction after seeing yours. Wow! JJ

Wow Fred, looks great. You are moving along nicely! JJ

Thanks Chuck, Ron and Matt for the comments and all the likes. Matt, I find that If there is sandpaper, glue and sticks laying around I make sanding tools on the fly, I end up having hundreds of these little things laying around. I guess it’s easier to make them rather than keep track of them. But it’s very easy to tailor them to nooks and crannies that conventional tools can’t reach.

I’ve just decided that sanding the outer hull is much more enjoyable than the inner. With that being said I’ve completed 80% of the port side with a rough sanding. The planks went down as Chuck prescribed, the only deviation I made aside from the month long lighting project was to glue the plank under the gunports down first to establish the correct run for the other three rows, the lowest 7/32 plank went in last which was a little bit harder to accomplish, the second layer will go down much easier. I Also got to poke around with the laser panels to see how much work I have ahead of me and it wasn’t too bad. Onto the stbd side this week hopefully. JJ

Looks excellent Chris! The thought of you throwing it out makes me cringe!!

Thanks Guys, started the spirketting yesterday. Hopefully churn out some Planking this week! JJ

Looking good Kevin. I built Dorade about 10 years ago and what a fantastic kit it is. Dorade is one of my favorite yachts. She still races to this day and is still quite a competitive boat for her class. I’ve seen her several times and even raced against her in a classics regatta. Enjoy the build. JJ

When do you anticipate the cedar packages being stocked along with your reopening??
