capnharv2 Posted December 12, 2013 #151 Posted December 12, 2013 Looks fantastic Pete! Question about the fish well. Did you find any details in Chappelle on that? the hatches on the Midwest kit don't look quite right, but I don't know what they should look like. Thanks! It's great to see your lobster fleet grow.

pete48 Posted December 12, 2013 Author #152 Posted December 12, 2013 Hi Harvey, The fish wells are not per spec. I have just been having fun trying things out on this boat. (keel 2 ) so its kind of a free build.

pete48 Posted December 13, 2013 Author #155 Posted December 13, 2013 Today all the work was done on Keel 1 , I the blocks that I stained yesterday , and using the same wrapping of the blocks with string (I showed how I made them in a previous build log)I made up all thge blocks needed Then I made a new tiller and still have to finish it ( its just been rough cut) all the masting is complete with the exception of the Boom being installed . I purchased some better thread for all the running rigging (it looks more like rope) The mast is set , the only thing left to make is the fish well covers . I am also giving a few comparison shot's between the kit build ( White Hull dark Cockpit/Cabin Coaming) Here are the results JesseLee, The Sailor, popeye the sailor and 4 others 7 "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/

Harvey Hi Harvey , in my research on the fish wells the Chapelle info is vauge, My guess is that , It was left open to the custmer purchasing the Boat. However the Fishwell section between frames 2 and 3 is correct (as per the Kit Build) I agree that the Midwest covers are to small as well as being to far forward of the Cockpit.

capnharv2 Posted December 13, 2013 #160 Posted December 13, 2013 Thanks Pete. I agree, the well location seems correct. And the Midwest interpretation of the closure doesn't look quite right. Yours looks much better. I'll do some digging on Friendship Sloop fish wells. If I find anything of note I'll put it up here. Thanks, Harvey pete48 1

pete48 Posted December 14, 2013 Author #162 Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) The Plan was to show you a finished Keel 1, Instead My Wife informed me that there are 12 Days till Christmas,( and I have not got anything for my Father in law ) He's a bigtime Fisherman so I decided to build him The 16 foot San Jaun Dory. I am building it in a 3/8" = 1'-0" , Its a very quik project (so I wasnt going to do another build Log) so kind of a build log in a build log (about 2 days) I used the magazine page (from Wooden Boat) as the plans, here are the results Edited December 14, 2013 by pete48 captainbob, The Sailor, russ and 2 others 5 "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/
