Cangarda 1901 by KeithAug - Scale 1:24 - Steam Yacht

Thank you Valeriy, Jerome, Tom and Andy. Very sad that Cangarda s heading for Turkey. I hope she isn't abused. 

 

My river cruise was somewhat eventful as senility seems to be taking its toll on the older members of the crew (I am the youngest). One member of the crew seemed to have forgotten how to steer and rammed the lock walls on numerous occasions, he also couldn't quite get the hang of the decompression switch and time and again used the horn as a substitute (much the annoyance of other river users). The eldest crew member seemed to have lost all sense of rope work and as consequence committed such  offences as throwing the whole rope (including the free end at the mooring cleat. Even when he did successfully lassoe the cleat he didn't seem to understand the concept of tying off the line. It all had the feeling of an Ealing comedy. At least we managed to entertain the massed ranks of lock watchers enjoying the late summer sunshine.

 

Since my return some 2 weeks ago Ann and I have been involved in supporting members of the extended family with their life challenges. As a consequence the workshop has suffered some neglect. I did get some time in the worksop today so I should be able to post an update later in the week. In the meantime I will do a bit of catching up with your various builds.

 Keith, great to see you back home but I'm sorry to hear that your elder friends are succumbing to the ravages of time. Unfortunately diminishing mental acuity is a threat we all face.

There is a German film of the 1960s that emulates Jerome K. Jeromes novel and is much more like your own experience, Keith. The guys nearly went down the Fall of the river Rhine in Schaffhausen ... (actually one can't, as there is a very low bridge in the way, but being pushed under the bridge by the strong current isn't very healthy either).

Sorry to hear of the trials and tribulations during your canal excursion Keith - I can understand the problems.  My wife will not allow me to get on the roof for the regular maintenance these days; she says I have lost 'me sea legs'. Getting older 'sucks' :(.

 

No rush on your model progress mate, family and friends must always take precedence.

 

cheers

Thank you all for all your concerns re the crew and other stuff. I suspect we are not on an improving trend. Maybe we need to recruit a few younger members.

 

In preparation for the great inversion event I decided to sort out the building cradle. To save the planet I recycled the cradle from Germainia.

DSC03018.thumb.JPG.54eaf2150839bad2645b7733ccd0b2f8.JPG

Fortunately Cangarda has a greater girth so the frames plus packing allowance were bigger than the existing support frame cut outs.

A quick jig saw job and the cradle was ready.

I quite like the next shot, it shows off Cangarda's beautiful bow a treat.

DSC03033.thumb.JPG.8f2c8a17fa0b16db660fee1c97776c57.JPG

I also cut the last bit of keel and test fitted it.

DSC03016.thumb.JPG.2bb5e184ab5f2a16c2af8d615595e683.JPG

Then it was time to glue the skeg in place. In the next shot the skeg is in place and aligned by eye with the woodworkers square behind it. The 2 part epoxy providing ample time to do the fine alignment adjustments. The over long rudder shaft facilitates better alignment.

DSC03015.thumb.JPG.94d84b59a21a42e361fdac3e25dac876.JPG

With the Skeg in place the final piece of keel could be attached. The tape is to prevent spread of the PVA glue.

DSC03021.thumb.JPG.e7f14bfdf666b31b1044a267d6004771.JPG

Elastic band clamping of the keel prevented movement while the glue dried.

DSC03022.thumb.JPG.64a2cef4a56e5675f0ee0c662218e12b.JPG

Finally I tidied up the slot to the rear of the skeg.

DSC03024.thumb.JPG.967eb51f346996177ee582e8a2114fa4.JPG

Next I need to sort out the planking imperfections before applying the varnish.

Pat, Glen, Keith, Tom, Druxey, Rick - thank you all.

Planking imperfections?

Tom - I will demonstrate.

 

I did a fairly close inspection of the hull and identified a few minor imperfections. You may need to blow up the images to see them.

DSC03025.thumb.JPG.732bd4791f11b87b816ebf1b31313953.JPGDSC03027.thumb.JPG.154fbd77eb72b884b10170c03becb8f3.JPG

What I tend to find is that the fine sand dust beds down in the gaps between planks, making identification of defects quite difficult.

To reveal the imperfections I wipe the surface of the hull with white spirit. This lifts out the dust and reveals any problem areas.

DSC03035.thumb.JPG.f0abe04dedeee1943c7248dae28466d2.JPG

Defects like these then appear.

DSC03036.thumb.JPG.7ca80118574b832865217a19ae10a86e.JPGDSC03037.thumb.JPG.6c7ca7421bb8e2976e15c38193a7b00d.JPGDSC03038.thumb.JPG.e75a2c8da29d7569bc7015266c8e1450.JPG

Having identified the defects I marked the positions with masking tape.

DSC03039.thumb.JPG.37741b06d447b5555a1f5f69a1192b11.JPGDSC03040.thumb.JPG.e5c11d05dfdb4535e2495b4444fb6aad.JPG

With all the defects identified I filled them with a mixture of sanding dust and varnish (as suggested in an earlier contribution to the build - thank you).

 

The repaired defect were then sanded back with 240 grit wet and dry paper and the whole hull was given a buff over with wire wool.

 

Then the hull was given its first coat of soft sheen wipe on polyurethane.

DSC03041.thumb.JPG.81dca7e1b7bcd1ff21042005253a9a74.JPGDSC03042.thumb.JPG.60c2fabdd6916acd1a32f2c445411c43.JPGDSC03043.thumb.JPG.324767be4acc41421f59f443c7e5cee9.JPG

I can only do one coat a day and I guess I am going to need a lot of coats. The next few posts will be as interesting as watching paint dry!

Those 'imperfections' - magnified by the camera, of course - are pretty insignificant! Hopefully they have now completely disappeared.

I believe you use sawdust and white glue to repair defects.  Does varnish work better?

Rick. I have used CA plus sanding dust in the past. I don't use white glue if the hull is going to be varnished because it leaves a blemish. White glue plus sanding dust is fine if the hull is being painted. Having tried it, I prefer dust plus varnish to dust plus CA.

 

Druxey, Tom, Rick, Richard, John - thank you all for your feedback.

Before the painting marathon there are a few hull penetrations to take care of.

 

Various drains have various grilles and that odd feature next to the keel also needs to be created.

29C4F7E0-B3F5-44AD-93D1-30FE4148BC0F.thumb.jpeg.b438b97d7b0ea1018c46c11e288ae5a7.jpeg.d3142adcfbcf40cdc7452fe2fe53eec5.jpeg

Some of the grilles have clearly been made by the local blacksmith - notice the randomness in the sizes and pattern of the holes.

I am really not sure why the grilles are required at all (I guess someone will know).

Here is yet another odd below the water line feature.

Getting the correct positions for these holes was quite an effort, sorting through lots of photos and trying to judge the actual position by following the water streaking down the hull relative to the portholes. "Highly scientific".

 

Anyway after a couple of days checking and cross checking I was sort of satisfied with positioning and transferred the positions to the hull using my trusty laser level.

 

DSC03051.thumb.JPG.7e0966509497a4a4b1e26ebbfaed6bd1.JPG

The first attachment was the up-stand for that odd feature (depth sounder?) near the keel.

DSC03052.thumb.JPG.cda0f90d3a021bc4a0df8a784cf48f12.JPG

Not much to show for a couple of days of dithering over many photos.

Intakes usually have grilles to prevent fish and other large objects from being sucked in. They also prevent critters from crawling in and setting up house while the vessel is in port. Outlets often do not have grills, especially if they are constantly discharging even while the vessel is in port (engine cooling water, etc.).

Eberhard / Phil - thank you. I figured they were inlets but nevertheless I thought they might be prone to blocking with debris such as plastic bags. If it were me I think I would do without the grille and compensate by including a strainer inboard of the sea cock. Much easier to clear blockages when dry and warm.

 

Thank you Gary.

I gather these were designed, before so much plastic was floating around the oceans ... actually a jelly-fish can have the same effect and is quite natural ...

 

There may be also a an outlet for the sewage. Today you have to have buffer tanks that are then emptied when at sea ... I have not so nice mermories of having to clean out the blocked sewage system on a sailboat.
