phebe Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted April 1, 2022 Thanks John and Yves, I think it's a bit ridiculous that it's a wooden model of a plastic boat too. I'm making it for a friend who wants to teach sailing concepts to beginners with a small model. It's fun while I build up my skills to tackle the more advanced projects. bruce d, popeye the sailor and Jim Lad 3 Quote Pride of Baltimore 2 modified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomculb Posted May 11, 2022 Share #10 Posted May 11, 2022 Great work Phebe! A lifetime ago I lived in Hawaii and raced Hobie 16s, like the model, then Hobie 18s. Definitely an exciting pastime. Your beautiful model brings back some wonderful memories.

phebe Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share #11 Posted May 28, 2022 Thanks Tom, I appreciate your kind words. I've heard that the 16 is a thrilling experience if you are good enough to fly the hull. popeye the sailor 1 Quote Pride of Baltimore 2 modified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
