bobcat Posted June 2, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 2, 2018 The Hayling Hoy of 1759 is now afloat and available from SeaWatchBooks. The Hoy, which is a small single masted ship, was used to carry small amounts of freight and /or passangers along England's east coast. The monograph, complete with building plans, is designed for first time plank on frame builders or for the more experienced builder who wants a small, fun project in between major builds. Check out all information and ordering instructions from seawatchbooks.com Thanks, Bob Friedman RichardG, hexnut, Seventynet and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocBlake Posted June 3, 2018 Share #5 Posted June 3, 2018 I just bought it! Are the plans amenable to enlarging to 1:24 scale? (You know what I'm thinking!)

Redshirt Posted June 3, 2018 Share #6 Posted June 3, 2018 Is the full framework included into the plans? mtaylor and Canute 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyboy Posted June 3, 2018 Share #7 Posted June 3, 2018 I,m seriously thinking of buying this book now that I know the plans are 1:48. My Cheerful build should be finished by late autumn and I fancy doing a second scratch build of a small ship, Guess I'll just have to suck up the ludicrously expensive postage of 30$ US (over 40% of the book price) Dave Canute and mtaylor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted June 3, 2018 Share #8 Posted June 3, 2018 Redshirt: Yes, all the frames, etc., are lofted for you on the plan set. DocBlake: I'm sure you could enlarge plans to 1:24 for your private use. Davyboy: Sorry to read that postage rates are so steep to Switzerland. paulsutcliffe, Canute, davyboy and 1 other 4 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
