sjanicki Posted August 29 #61 Posted August 29 (edited) Following along on this very cool build. As a fellow PNW native hoping that it ends up as the Wawona as others have echoed... Edited August 29 by sjanicki Canute 1
Wawona59 Posted August 29 #62 Posted August 29 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?

alross2 Posted August 29 Author #63 Posted August 29 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. sheepsail, ccoyle, sjanicki and 2 others 5

alross2 Posted September 12 Author #66 Posted September 12 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. ccoyle, mgatrost, rcweir and 5 others 8
alross2 Posted September 17 Author #67 Posted September 17 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. sjanicki, GrandpaPhil, JacquesCousteau and 4 others 7
