Mark Pearse Posted March 27, 2015 #374 Posted March 27, 2015 Hello Jim, lovely. Really enjoyable to look at. I was in Pittwater a few weekends ago & there is a boat in Careel Bay that looked very much like a Pearling Lugger, I would guess that the hull was 42 or so feet. Do you know of this boat? Sorry, if I had any wits I would have taken a photo.

Jim Lad Posted March 27, 2015 Author #375 Posted March 27, 2015 Thank you all for your kind comments. Sorry for the delay in replying, but I've just come back from a week up the coast photographing shore birds. Mark - I don't know the boat you saw in Pittwater. 42 feet sounds a little small for a pearler, however. John GLakie 1
luggerite Posted March 28, 2015 #376 Posted March 28, 2015 Mark, if it was cutter rigged it was probably a boat called KAILAG, built at Thursday Island in 1933. It was originally built as a government boat, but did go pearling later on. Michael

Jim Lad Posted April 2, 2015 Author #381 Posted April 2, 2015 Just a small update. I've started work on the deck, but the fitting of the margin plank has taken a little longer than expected, so that's all that's been done for the moment. Next time I manage to get to the museum I can start on the deck planking proper. John janos, augie, trippwj and 22 others 25

Jim Lad Posted April 3, 2015 Author #388 Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks for the support, folks - it's much appreciated. Russ - yes, they were cut to fit around each frame. A card template of the deck curve was made first, then the plank cut to fit snugly against the inboard edges of the frames and then the plank marked and cut (cut and try; cut and try) to fit around the frames.
