ccoyle Posted May 25, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 25, 2020 Very nice! I owned this kit many years ago, but never got around to building it. I'm looking forward to seeing more progress on it. Cheers!

George Renall Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted February 3, 2022 Progress continues on Georges model. George appears to be growing faster than the Herreshoff. yvesvidal, ccoyle, Ryland Craze and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Renall Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted July 28, 2022 This is the latest on my model, we have varnished the decks and other parts, painted it, added some little details and have got the rig up its looking amazing.

George Renall Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share #9 Posted April 2, 2023 Finished. Good things take time. George has nearly doubled in size but the Herreshoff is looking great. Marcus.K., Srenner, ccoyle and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Cleek Posted April 2, 2023 Share #11 Posted April 2, 2023 Looks great! It also looks like you've moved ashore. I sure hope you still have your Buzzards Bay 25! Is she an original or a recent build? She's sure an eye-popper. How did a BB25 end up sailing upside down in New Zealand? Now that you're living on the hard and presumably have some space, and you've built the model, don't you think it's getting to be about time to start thinking about building a full-size "Buzzards Bay Boy's Boat" for that young man? If you get cracking on that, he should be just about ready to skipper his own boat when you get her built! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
