New BlueJacket Shipcrafters kit in development: West Coast lumber schooner

[sjanicki]

Following along on this very cool build. As a fellow PNW native hoping that it ends up as the Wawona as others have echoed...

I think this model could be built as either the C.A. Thayer or Wawona as both are essentially the same.  Can you guess what my preference would be?

I love the ability to change things easily with the computer drawings.  As you can see, this is quite different from this same drawing posted earlier.  Still have to add the gaffs, deadeyes, rigging and a few other details.

They're both Bendixsen ships, so it's a win-win for us Humboldt County folk (whether native or part of the diaspora).

A few more completed kit plans in the 11" x 17" size.

Mostly-finished Running and Standing Rigging plans.  Both are greatly reduced from their original 24" x 36" format.  I prefer to do separate rigging plans as it makes them less confusing for the builder with limited familiarity with rigging.  Because the original vessels used slats for ratlines, I've used the same laser-cut ladder format as I did with WYOMING, NOTMAN, and a few other kits.

OK, the West Coast Lumber Schooner display model is boxed up and going to Nic for rigging (he enjoys rigging, I don't) 😎.  I still have to do the sail plan, write the instructions, and, when he's finished the rigging, add a few more items to the display model.  Since these boats had the slat ratlines, we've included the laser-cut ones in this kit - real time saver.

 Conducting PNW research tonight I came across the below, it's a bit late and if it's been posted before my apologies.

Foremast standing rigging is done.

Chomp Chomp shred shred.

 

Actually in my search profile it takes me to the Yosemite redwood grove.  

 

I looked for it again but could only find this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnE8AM35Fvc&t=20s   I think the video of the Wawona in the chompers is on Fakebook. Pretty sickening. Looks like the same contractor who is working with the same tools on 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.   Even more scary is I do not have a Fakebook account, but they still have a profile on me and show people I know stuff I am interested in.  To forward and share with the heathen sheep.
