Cutty Sark by Primey - Arkit - Scale 1:78


Recommended Posts

Hi Chap,

The masts are "Raked."

I cannot recall the exact angle and would need to refer to my Plans/Research Material.

 

I'll have a look-see but someone may come up with the figures before me.

 

Cheers....HOF.

Hi Chap,

Just had a look at Longridges book:

 

Fore - 86"

Main - 85"

Mizzen - 84"

 Angle of Steve of Bowsprit - 18.5"

 

(All with respect to the Horizontal or 0' of course)

 

Mainmasts are not tapered,

Tapers only appear on Top Masts and Topgallant.

 

(With the Sergal Kit, the Mast Housings were already done.)

 

I'm guessing that your Fore and Main are 10mm in diameter and your Mizzen is something like 8mm in Diameter.

 

The other thing that you may like to consider, when Masting don't Glue the masts in position, let the Rigging hold everything in place, there's more than enough pressure exerted to hold everything in place. This holds true for the Top and Topgallant.

(By not Gluing these, you have a little leeway to "Twist" if necessary to line things up, also, if you are unfortunate enough to break something, it is far easier to remove and remake. :-))

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers....HOF.

Hi Chap,

The Mizzen on you plans looks a little to extremely "Raked."

Don't know....

I included a couple of photos from my build, early on in the piece and complete.

I'll have to let you be the judge as it's your work. :)

 

Cheers....HOF.

Drilled mast holes, cut out and polished up prow and stern decorations. Started on belaying pin racks but do not have a small enough drill bit. The pin rack wood is only is 3mm wide 13cm long, need 25 holes so probably only 0.5mm or 1mm drill bit. So purchased both on ebay.

 

And to those looking forward to the copper, not for me I'm afraid. I tried but the copper has beaten me so time to move on.
