pete48 Posted December 2, 2013 Author #125 Posted December 2, 2013 I got to work first thing this morning, finishing up the masting, I then Installed the Bowsprit and Oar lock Blocks, Then the Toe Rail, On this Toe Rail I decided to go against the Instruction Manual, and Install the curve first, working my way to the Bow then making the cut against the Bowsprit. It was alot easier to do it that way. I was very pleased with the results I also added a comparison photo between the Kit and Keel # 1.

pete48 Posted December 4, 2013 Author #129 Posted December 4, 2013 Today on Keel 1,I got started by doing all the small touch up work. I then decided to paint a blue water line on Keel 2 ( I could not get it to work on Keel 1 ) it worked out on this one. I then removed the deck over the fish wells to gain access to the bilge( I may float this one) Here are the results The Sailor, russ, shawn32671 and 4 others 7 Quote "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/

themadchemist Posted December 6, 2013 #134 Posted December 6, 2013 Popeye had the lobster Twins... Now we have the Lobster triplets. I really like the natural wood and blue water line of keel 2, it turned out great. The photo in post #162 with all three side by side is a great shot. I think many new builders could learn much from building multiples as you have. This is a such great project and a Wonderful choice of vessels for such a project. Keep the progress coming. pete48 1 Quote

pete48 Posted December 7, 2013 Author #136 Posted December 7, 2013 This Morning I thought about doing some detail to the cockpit of keel 2 . My Wife started calling it the "Blue Boat" a few days ago its starting to catch on (with me anyway)I wanted to add detail under the cockpit floor as well as enclosing the bench seats, after that I went for the fish wells . on Keel 1 I did get the railings stained and made a temp boom rest.

TBlack Posted December 7, 2013 #141 Posted December 7, 2013 Pete, I, too,am in awe of your work. But I'm getting a little confused. In your posting #129 there are 3 lobster smacks in the picture, but I thought the scratch built boat was hull #3 and it looks like it's really boat #4? BTW, if I had to choose, I'd go for the boat with the brightwork hull and white boot topping. I really like the colors. Tom pete48 1 Quote
pete48 Posted December 8, 2013 Author #142 Posted December 8, 2013 Hi Tom, There is a kit build along with Keel #1 & #2 on this Build log (Keel 2 was built to get the planking correct and is not an official build) Keel 2 is so that I can try out things and see how they work out. ( and if they do I share them ) Best Regards, Pete Quote "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/

pete48 Posted December 11, 2013 Author #146 Posted December 11, 2013 After yestedays Planking Marathon on Keel 3 ( Scratch built Build Log) I decided to have a little fun with Keel 2 (The Blue Boat), I made a Door for the bulkhead in the Cabin, Painted the Bulkhead a Flat White, as well as the cockpit seat benches . I made a Grating for the cockpit floor wich will still need to be stained, (and will be able to be lifted out as to gain access to the Bilge)some molding for the Fish wells and a Tiller. On Keel 1 I had to make new Blocks for the Rigging ( I accidently threw them away) Here are the results The Sailor, DSiemens, u21rw87 and 2 others 5 Quote "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/
