Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack by Kenchington - Model Shipways - 1:24

[Kenchington]

I do not intend to log my build of the Muscongus Bay boat in the same detail as I did with the Norwegian pram. For one thing, there are MSW members who know the full-size boats, or at least the Friendship sloops which evolved from the centreboard boats, whereas I have never even seen an example of either type. So I won't have much to offer that would be unique. Still, I figured I should open a new log, so that I can post whatever comes up. Right now, I'm just scanning previous build logs and preparing notes to supplement the kit instructions!

Fun and enjoyable build without a lot of headaches. Enjoy and will follow your build.

Hope your Lobster Smack build goes well, Trevor!  And I think posting your build progress would be valuable to others.  As I recall, there were just enough nuances that individuals encountered in their builds, whether it was due to manufacturer quirks in their laser cutting or how each of us did something slightly different that made our boats unique, that having several resources to look back on were ever so helpful.

 

And with your fine work on the Norwegian Sailing Pram as evidence, your Lobster Smack build will also shine.  Looking forward to whatever updates you provide on this build.  It was a frustrating build for me as an inexperienced builder, but it was enjoyable!  Have fun with it!
