Molly 1890 by philoktet - FINISHED - 1:5 scale - English Catboat


Recommended Posts

A friend who focuses on creating modell sailboat blueprints  gave me me the DXFs of the Molly. -https://www.classic-modellyacht-design.de/Englische-Yachten/Molly- The hull was build from 1,5mm mahogany only and got a transparent fibre reinforcement. The sail was done by a professional sailmaker. The ballast weighs about 7,5 kg of pure lead. It was a special task shaping the forms and pour the lead in oil sand . Molly sails already with low wind and stays stabil at moderate wind.
