WILLIAM BALDRICK Posted November 27, 2022 #103 Posted November 27, 2022 Hi. Amazing build. Did you have to wet timber for planking or any part of the build? If so how long did you wet them for and length of time to dry? Have ordered these plans from the US. Thanks & regards. William from Melbourne, Australia. mtaylor 1
Redwine Posted January 31, 2023 #104 Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Tremendous build. I was following FlyingFish’ ORCA, but hadn’t checked this one out. Outstanding attention to detail. If I may add one suggestion - slap “MS 15 LF” up near the pulpit across the bow. This was the boat registration ID seen on both the starboard and port side. You can Google for reference!

F.David Posted October 1, 2024 #105 Posted October 1, 2024 Hello Neilm, First of all great work on Orca,Very skilled builder. Your build help me a lot. I would like to know if it would be possible for you to share the files for the Orca letters, barrels and the jaws. I would really appreciate. Thanks in advance. Regards David
