MarisStella.hr Posted August 6, 2017 #124 Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Hi Mr. Jack... The boat, Falkusa is done brilliant, this is an outstanding sample... But You have touched me with the crates ! It would be nice to see the higher version of the sail (just a thought), it makes her to be charming. this could be shorten to about 3/4 ... But, the truth, the glass cover would be heavier... Can't wait to see the buckets !

jack.aubrey Posted August 9, 2017 Author #125 Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Considerations about the sails of the Gajeta . . The Gaeta (Gajeta) Falcata (Falkusa) seems to be a very versatile boat. We learned how this boat can be used with two hull configurations, one with high sides, optimized for sailing and one with lower sides, most suitable for fishing with nets. But its versatility also manifests itself in its sails. Let's think about them. The following image shows three Gaeta configurations, from left to right: a- sails with "high" main sail; the main sail is very high, probably suitable with light winds; b- sails with "low" main sail; the sail is not triangular and mounts a beam even belo c- no masts/beams and sails; configured with low sides suitable for fishing; the rudder has been removed. 01 Falkusa-1_zpswokpwsjz.JPG The following image shows a Gaeta in configuration type (a); for my taste this is the most beautiful and majestic. And here we can also look at another variant: the double jib, interesting . . 02 Velatura Alta 01.jpg Here below the boat is in the configuration type (b): lower sail, jib fastened half way on the bow beam, although we have seen that it can be fastened on the top of the bow beam. The main sail may seem triangular but seems to be rolled on the lower beam and for this reason doesn't look like in the image 01 . . 03 Velatura Bassa con Tangone.jpg Here are other images with an apparently "low" sail but with a real triangular shape. Images 04, 05, 06 and 07. Let's say this is a new type . . we'll define Type (d); obviously this is another sails configuration !! 04 Velatura Bassa 01.jpg 05 Velatura Bassa 02.jpg 06 Velatura Bassa 03.jpg 07 Velatura Bassa 04.jpg For now I have not found more configs, but it's not said that they do not exist. For reasons related to the size (height) of the plexiglass cover for the showcase, although my preference goes to the sails type (a), I decided to adopt the configuration type (d). The kit features pre-sewn, well-made sails. Unfortunately they are for the configuration type (a) and to transform them into sails type (d) there is some work to do: the main sail needs to be ex novo rebuilt. But here some problems arise: I do not have the same fabric and so I should also redo the jib; but I'm also a dud with the sewing machine, so the result could be bad if not worse. So ? Simple, I will install the original jib and the main sail tied to its beam as in the images below . . With this solution I just need to cut the big sail to the right extent and the game is done; once rolled on the beam its wrong shape will no longer be visible . . Hyper-pragmatic solution . . See you next time, Jack. 08 Alla fonda 01 09 Alla fonda 02 10 Alla fonda 03 Edited August 9, 2017 by jack.aubrey AntonyUK, Seventynet, mtaylor and 4 others 7

Jean-Pierre Posted August 9, 2017 #127 Posted August 9, 2017 There is one point to consider about the sails, I think: the "high" rig that you prefer will also be very cumbersome and require a huge glass case. I would personally go for the 2nd type which is also very beautiful in my opinion and need a considerably less high case. mtaylor 1

jack.aubrey Posted August 29, 2017 Author #147 Posted August 29, 2017 Monday 28 August 2017 I'm working on the display case base . . In particular I'm preparing the so-called "beach". To hold the small pebbles of the Elba Island beach called "200 steps" I used vinyl glue, laid abundantly on the wood basement. The work is not yet finished because I think it is better to make another layer of this sandblast and then apply the larger pebbles individually. . I now have two new sizes . . Interesting experience. We will see how the situation evolves.
