But I will miss your beautiful Pilot Cutter which I suspect is now on hiatus. mtaylor, thibaultron, FriedClams and 2 others 5 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752
michael mott Posted March 28, 2021 Author #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 #33 Posted March 28, 2021 Now Michael, how about that Skipjack and its lovely engine and gearbox, this is certainly on hiatus.

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