I’m still in my early days of modeling and it is delightful hear such encouragement! thibaultron 1 Current adventures: USS Perry of 1843, model kit by Bluejacket - Scale 1:96 Lost at Sea: Dapper Tom - model kit by Model Shipways Previous adventures: an English Pinnace, model kit by Model Shipways, Opium Smuggler Schooner Yacht 1805, model kit by Authentic Holland Models Chesapeake Bay Flattie, model kit by Midwest, USS Constitution, model kit by Revell Albatros 1912, card model kit by HMV

Jim Cricket Posted March 25, 2020 #70 Posted March 25, 2020 Nice Flattie, Eric! You asked in an early post about books or references to Chesapeake working craft. Besides Chapelle (who also published a small booklet on Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiffs), one of the nicest work boat references is Larry Chowning's "Deadrise and Cross Planked". There are quite a few others on Log Canoes, Bugeyes and Skipjacks, etc, etc. Reuel Parker included the Hampton Flattie in his "The Sharpie Book". That's worth getting if you'd like to try your hand at a few scratch built models. There are small drawings with offset tables for 15 of his adapted sharpie designs. Parker, by the way, is a powerhouse boatbuilder, now on his 7th large liveaboard vessel. He is a champion of rugged engineering and practical adaptations of traditional working sail. Cheers, Cricket EricWilliamMarshall and thibaultron 2
