dvm27 Posted March 28, 2021 Share #31 Posted March 28, 2021 Fascinating stuff Michael! But I will miss your beautiful Pilot Cutter which I suspect is now on hiatus. thibaultron, mtaylor, Keith Black and 2 others 5 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael mott Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share #32 Posted March 28, 2021 Hi Greg, No the cutter is so "present" in the workshop, I just needed a little break I really want to get the cutter finished before I do any building on the Gill Smith boat. A few days of gentle drawing were in order.

vaddoc Posted March 28, 2021 Share #33 Posted March 28, 2021 Now Michael, how about that Skipjack and its lovely engine and gearbox, this is certainly on hiatus. The boats will not build themselves you know.

michael mott Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share #36 Posted March 30, 2021 I found this to be an enjoyable read, lots of pictures of a modern take on a classic design.
