themadchemist Posted April 23, 2014 #70 Posted April 23, 2014 I'm also glad to see you back. I think what Petehay is referring to is the pictures from December and other months also. The MSW server had some sector loss and the photos on those sections were lost. The last couple of pages of this build seems to have gotten hit, I didn't go back further though. I had over 200 go missing in logs. If you have the pictures still and can repair the void, it would be Greatly appreciated as your adventure into the MBLS is a build log worth having fully archived. I found it very interesting, informative and just fun to follow and I don't think I'm alone in that. Personally I like to go back and reread build logs that have been an inspiration to me, I would include your series in that category and a year from now I'm sure it will be as new and fun as the first time through. As I go back now over a year from beginning and reread certain logs, I find it interesting just how much that I have grown in the last year from both building and watching other great minds and hand create. By the way, I still find the simple blue stripe very striking and elegant in its simplicity. Keel 4 is a Beauty. pete48 1 Quote

I am happy to be back It was a longer break than I thought, I did find the box wich Keel # 4 was in and pulled it out right away.( I have alot of boxes to go thru) I finished planking the hull and started the fairing (it was nice to get my feet wet again)here are the results. 2 of the pics show's it with the centerboard lowered Edited April 24, 2014 by pete48 mtaylor, russ, hexnut 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/

pete48 Posted April 25, 2014 Author #75 Posted April 25, 2014 This morning I awoke to rain, so final fairing on keel # 4 would have to wait. I did find Keel # 3 in a box last night so I was prepared. I started by laying out the fish wells and cutting out the Cabin / Cockpit coaming. When I cut out the fish wells I decided to go with a butterfly style hatch. Then I installed the Cockpit / Cabin coaming. I also checked the rough rudder set up and it works perfect.

pete48 Posted April 25, 2014 Author #78 Posted April 25, 2014 When I woke this morning it is still Raining, so any sanding or finishing will have to wait another day. (Sanding and Finishing has to be done outside New Rules) I went thru my scrap and my lumber yard and relized I could build another one.(Keel # 5) After a few Cups of Coffe I decided to build a Float version (pre R.C.) It will be a no frills version . I just have the itch to build.

pete48 Posted April 27, 2014 Author #86 Posted April 27, 2014 Today I had sunshine for about 2 hours, so I got some more fairing done on Keel # 4, (almost there) . On Keel # 5 I glued the frames to the keel making sure everything is square amd plumb to the base line (LWL) I then installed the ribands and Breast hook. ( so far right on the money ) Next fairing the frames and installing the keel battens.

pete48 Posted April 30, 2014 Author #88 Posted April 30, 2014 This Morning, I awoke to beautiful Sunshine, so I thought I would finish Fairing Keel # 4 (that I started yesterday) Then I cut out and installed the Cutwater. I then masked the boat off and sprayed 2 coats of white primer . I decided to leave the top board wood and stain it later. I sanded the primer with 400 grit sandpaper here are the results IgorSky, hexnut and themadchemist 3 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/
