BobG Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share #301 Posted February 3, 2022 Thanks for stopping by, Erik and Hake. It'll be slow going now that I'm into the "mystery rigging section."

jpalmer1970 Posted February 3, 2022 Share #304 Posted February 3, 2022 So glad to see you are continuing with this build Bob. I'm going to be relying heavily on this log when I start my Pen Duick later this year!

I hope my log will be of some assistance to you although, at the rate I'm going, I may be getting assistance from your log especially figuring out the rigging. She is really is a beautiful racing yacht and I look forward to your build. Thanks for looking in. jpalmer1970 and Ryland Craze 2 Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

glbarlow Posted February 3, 2022 Share #306 Posted February 3, 2022 Jump over to Flirt before you get too frustrated, there is plenty of help to be had for her. Plenty to enjoy with that build along with Chris and James detailed instructions.

The Artesania Latina plans and instructions are pretty much useless after you finish the hull and, eventually, I lost my motivation to keep at it. I'm still not sure how I will figure out the rigging but I'll give it a go. My plan is to keep chipping away at the Pen Duick and also start building the Flirt at the same time. I figure that working on the Flirt and the Pen Duick at the same time will balance things out for me when the Pen Duick gets too frustrating. I finished adding the hatches and the cockpit to the deck today. The only problem I had was that the tabs on the coamings around the cockpit did not line up well with the holes I had previously carved in the deck as per the plans. The walnut coaming is old and hard so they wouldn't flex much either. Eventually, after some careful filing, I managed to get them to sit flush on the deck without breaking them but there were some small gaps showing in the deck next to where the tabs slotted into the deck. I use Titebond Quick & Thick as my primary glue. So I made a slurried mixture of the glue with some sawdust from the deck planking strips and used a dental tool to carefully fill in the gaps. It worked great and I'm happy with the way the cockpit and hatches look on the deck. 🙂 Nice one Chap!! Your PD is far too nice to relegate to the "One Day" file. Don't be too concerned about the Rigging, there isn't too much of this and I'm sure that once you get the "Standing" stuff up, the "Running" will become apparent. (I'm sure there are errors with my PD rigging but who's complaining? 🙂) Give me a shout if you think you are running into "Issues" and I'll try to assist. (If I can remember....) I'm very keen to watch your progress and see the finished article. Cheers....HOF.
