Rowboat Posted October 21, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Hello to all, My name is Tony and I live in northern central California, retired. Many hobbies, but I like the down time ship building allows me. I can spend hours researching and fitting a ship piece, I'm sure many of you can attest to that. Completed my first boat build about a year ago, though it took a few years to complete as life got in the way. The boat is the Baltimore Clipper - Dos Amigos and is a block wood hull. I learned many things about boat building from this build and now am moving up the ladder in complexity. I expect my new build, Enterprise 1799, will also be a multiyear project. This build would be a fun challenge for me if I had all the materials and instructions ( which I don't ), without them it will be "funner" . There's my introduction . PS. Found a few pictures of the completed Dos Amigos I did, so posting them.

mtaylor Posted October 22, 2019 Share #11 Posted October 22, 2019 Hi Tony. Welcome to MSW. You might try contacting Constructo and see if they can help with the instructions. They have a website: http://www.constructo.es but it looks like you'll have to use Google Translate for it.
