Mobbsie,

 

You're flying and Aggy looks great.  Keep up the good work.  Nice job on fixing the chains.

Looks great Mobbsie - the pinnace looks like a fun project - I build a small ship's boat this summer for the Blandford - the technique is slightly different than the CC one - and to be honest the CC kit looks like a more secure construction method than the Model Shipways one I made. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out

Mobbsie, just found your build and read the entire log over a couple days.  Very, very nice!  I'm glad I got here just as you're ready to rig her cause I love to watch you guys that know what you're doing rig a ship.  I will be following along!

that's what they said to me about joining the commodore's table.   now Sjors up and left.........Augie's hard at it with his confed.....and I'm sitting here with a blasted cold  {I still have one more day of work to go through}.   congrats on the promotion......you'll come to find that rank really doesn't matter all that much.........what matters is the person behind it.   if there a proper rank to give you,  it would be  'friend'......that,  I believe,  covers every rank in the MSW listing :)

 

I think i said it earlier.......nice work on you Aggie.......more pictures please...I'm getting withdrawls already  ;)

Hi Guys,

 

I feel I owe you all an apology for not replying sooner, it really is unforgivable that I've waited this long. :(  :(

 

I would like to thank you all for your very kind words and congrats on my promotion, although the latter is for fun only. :)  :)

 

Popeye,

 

I love your words and feel very much the same, friendship is the highest rank anybody can aspire to and I feel honoured to be called your friend. I hope your cold is behaving itself and that you've at last seen the end of it. :)  :)

 

Grant,

 

I think I've a long way to go before I reach the great rank of honourable windbag, I'll leave that one to those who deserve it, (you know who you are).

I'm still waiting on the information from Bucklers Hard, their being very helpful but it's going to take some time, I gave them a list as long as my arm. ;)

 

Wes,

 

Your more than welcome mate, rigging is a while off  as yet though, I have the ships boats to build, 9 sections of mast to build not including the bowsprit and the fighting tops. At my present build rate it's going to be a couple of months. Some may say that's quick but others will testify that for me it's a snails pace. :mellow:  :mellow:

 

Ray, Patrick, Frank, Adriaan, Mark, Hamilton, Wayne, Aldo and certainly not forgetting Andy.

 

Thanks guys, the chains didn't go exactly to plan but what does with this hobby, I love the little problems that crop up, keeps the grey matter from turning to concrete, they were fun to do and they really do lock the channels up real tight, nice to know the system works. :)  :)

 

Sjors,

 

You may call me what you like my friend, but do not call me late for dinner. :D  :D :D  :D  

 

Augie,

 

You're not wrong my friend, Windbag JG is the highest rank we have, thank goodness there's only one at the moment, but I fear that will change in the not too distant future. :unsure:

 

Anja,

 

Thank you for your very kind words, they are very much appreciated. ;)

 

I will have some pics very soon of a completed Pinnace, maybe later today but certainly tomorrow.

 

Be Good

Hi Guys,

 

Aldo and Randy,

 

Thanks guys, it's appreciated.

 

As promised here are the pics of the Pinnace, the main construction and paint job are completed, whats left to do is the Rope Coils ( Grant ), bucket and when I can figure out the correct length, the oars.

 

Also first planking is done on the 24ft Cutter, pictures show dry fit of the frames, clamped while glue dries and the false keel being molded.

Thanks Popeye,

 

Yes the ribs are removed after the 2nd planking, the 24ft cutter, 18ft cutter and the 26ft launch will all be treated the same.

 

The 18ft cutter is only 9cm long so that's going to be a lot of fun. :(  :(  :(

 

Thanks for asking mate. :)  :)

Very nice, Mobbsie.  I used a similar red on the inside of my Syren's ship's boat.  I like the effect.

Maybe you can give Texx a hand.  He needs 7 whaleboats for his Morgan.  And we thought ratlines were tough :D  :D

Hello Mobbsie,

Very very nice your boats.

About the oars, it was difficult to have a accurate information.

Finally, I found in the Anatomy of the ship Pandora some indications.

Length of the oars: 20' for the largest boats and 17' for the smallest.

I join a picture of what I did. For the pinnace the 20' (95mm) seems right to me.

Pierre
