Hi,
here are the latest picture of the Banterer. I'm building together with my father.
The first three picture show the first "sea trials" last summer:

 

The following pictures show the status of teh mechancis in January. The Set up of the main and mizzen mast will change as the combined mechanics proved not being reliable:

Lami the control system looks amazing any further information on how it works would be most interesting.

Lami,

 

It's great to see this build come back.  I'm looking forward to following it again.

Lami,

 

Great work. If I understand the pictures correctly the running rigging is routed through brass tubes to the drive pulleys. Do you have to use some form of lubricant in the tubes?

Yes Lami, info please!

 

I saw this on the home page and had to find the build log. There is so much I would like to know about this build.

Hi,

many thanks for your kind comments.

As correctly assumed we are using brass tubes to get the running ringging below decks. No lubrication is needed as the ropes are made from synthetic material and are gliding very good within the tubes.

The following pictures show the lay of the brass tubes from the belaying points to below-decks within the double walls of the upper deck.

 

Best regards

The following pictures show the captains cabin and the laterns we build to illuminate the cabin and the upper deck:

 
The Lamps are made of the piece of clear plastics and brass eyebolt and a yellow LED:

I cannot see any of the last two sets of pictures just the JPEG number in a box.

Thanks for the info, the pictures I uploaded yesterday and three of the first set uploaded are now missing in my gallery. Not sure what happened but I will upload them again this evening.

Lami,

Dont use the gallery to upload your images...that is for completed models only.  Use the upload tool on each post.  Edit your posts and use teh full editor to add the pictures again.  DO NOT USE the gallery and then link them into your log.  That is a NO-NO.

Hi,

with the Banterer nearly finished I wanted to show some actual pictures. The most work over the last 6 month was the sail making each sail took me an average of 40 hours to make. Build time was now nearly 7 years and we hope to let her sail on May 2nd for the first time.

How are you dealing with ballast?

Such a huge effort, she looks brilliant, can't wait to see her sail

Posted

the Banterer has a displacement of about 24 kilos. The upper part of the hull weights 10 kilos with about  kilos on the water line and 6 kilos high above (masts, Sails, cannons, ...) and the lover hull weights 6 kilos. So we have 8 kilos of ballast. 5 kilos in the form of lead balls are sunk in Epoxy in teh lower hold. above that we have 3 kilos in the form of lead bars to trim the ship.

Tests indicate that no external ballast will be needed ( I hope that proves right :-) ) We are also able to lover the Topgallant Yards to reduce the sail area.

I will post some pictures as soon as she had her first voyage.

Posted

Wow! What kind of a glue do you use? And how do you prevent the hull from warping when wet? Planks will expand, and then leave the gaps when dried. Or there is a trick to prevent that?

Looking forward to see the video of first voyage, and more detailed photos! Incredibly interesting project!

We are using normal water proof white glue for the wood, for the Copper plates we used cyanid quick glue. Over all of this is a layer of semi gloss boat paint. This combinatiion protects the hull very well.

Here are some pictures of the maiden voyage of our Banterer as you can see she is riding still very high on the water  indicating that about 4 kilos of ballast are still missing to stabilize her.

Next steps will be to give her more ballast before her next trial.

Good for you, Lami.   She looks good in the water.post-76-0-15039200-1399252891.gifpost-76-0-15039200-1399252891.gifpost-76-0-15039200-1399252891.gifpost-76-0-15039200-1399252891.gif
