Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14ftr By Pete48 - SMALL 3/4" = 1'- 0" - Finished


Recommended Posts

Today I started by Building a cradle , while I pre soaked the material to finish the planking. Once the cradle was built I finished up the planking, athen I finished rough Fairing the hull. next it will need to be sanded with 600 grit, to get it ready for epoxy . I am very pleased with this build as it has been a challenge. Here are the results

 

Very nicely built Little "dreamboat" Pete,

 

would have loved that one for actual sailing....

I would like to Thank you all, For your intrest and the likes , its inspiring

 

Hi Michael, I looked at Tonis build ( for the louvers ) I am going to try that out . it looks fairly simple . I think your right, that kind of system might work. I to this day would still love to have a full sized one, They are so nice to sail, ( I sailed a 12 1/2 a few times, I did not want it to end ) and they are very easy on the eye's  

 

Hi Richard, Thank you, she is comming together nicely, I am also building the original 12 1/2 ( Cap't Nates ) as a proto-type the link is in my signature.

 

Hi Nils, Thank you for the kind words, I like the Herreshoff Designs ( deffinatly a dreamboat ) They are Amazing boats to sail as well

 

Best Regards,

Pete

Today I started by lowering the camber on the rear cockpit bulkhead , I then realized that the Transom knee needed to be cut down to allow for the rear deck . On the forward cockpit bulkhead , I cut out the frame brace to match the deck camber of the birch ply . I then installed the bulkheads and layed out the cockpit seats ( another one of those trickier than I thought situations ) I then cut out 4 seat braces for aft of the cockpit and 2 larger ones for the bow. This is because the deck angle change's sharpley for the cockpit coaming . I then turned my attention to the Keel . I filled in the bottom of the keel with wood ( this normaly would be the Lead part of the keel ) I then faired it in with the rest of the Boat.  Here are the results

Such clean building! That hull looks like it would slip through the water without even leaving a wake.

Pete,

She looks really nice! I told you earlier that my aunt has one of these (Zephyr) and that I've had the good fortune to sail her many times. There's a bizarre jib sheet arrangement that only uses one line reeved through a block on the aft end of the club. I guess that's better than two sheets?

 

Anyway, you're doing a great job

 

Tom

 

PS Weren't you about to move to Oregon? Are you still at CdA?

Thanks Tom, I remember talking about your aunt's Herreshoff,  You are very fortunate , they are amazing boats. is she your favorite aunt ? I will look into that Jib Sheet arrangement , Thanks for the heads up. I am still in Coeur d'Alene , till sometime in August , And my family is here, so I am kinda still here

Pete

Pete,

At this stage in my life she is my ONLY aunt! But I'm the only person she will let sail the boat.....her sons are too "on to the next thing" and she's VERY protective of this craft.

Today I worked on making the cockpit coamings . First I finished installing the cockpit coaming backing on the fore and aft bulkheads. I then cut out the rear deck bracing ( as per plan ) Now the coaming's are the tricky part, there is no detail on the construction plan . ( other than the sheer profile ) I first made a template out of card board with the measurement s that were provided to me by the construction plan. I decided that my coamings would also act as the seat back, so my board would have to be wide . once the template was close I transfered it on 1/16" ( wich scales out perfect ) Material, soaked them in alcohol for 2 hours and bent them close to there location.( The coamings will be installed after the deck is on )  I left the top of the coamings tall, so that when the deck is on it will be easier to scribe the sheer ( because of forward deck camber makes it tricky at the transition point )Here are the results

Those coamings look like they'd be nice to lean back on. How wide are the coaming boards in the real thing? Do they make them in one piece? Maybe laminated?

Hello Steve, On the real thing the boards  are 6" . Mine are at 12 " wide to allow for the seat back ( other wise its 2 pieces ) that size lumber is available from Flounder bay Boat lumber. ( I have purchased alot of lumber from them in the past ) They are made from one piece of Wood

Pete

First, I have to say that this has been one of those Builds that is hard to put down, Today I decided to make and install the decks, First I sealed up the forward compartments , Then I cut out the Decks and the Camber strips for on top of the bulkheads wich the deck will sit on, that way the deck will flow properly. Once the deck pieces fit to satisfaction they were glued into posistion . I then faired the deck with the Hull , and did a final Fairing . Now the exterior and deck are ready to be sealed with West System epoxy . I then dry fit the Coamings that were made yesterday , I still have not cut the sheer into them yet, The Coamings will be installed when I get to the finishing stage and at that time I will cut in the sheer . I wedged a peice of scrap to hold the Coamings snug and in place. Here are the results

Today, I started by cutting out a Piece of 1/32" Birch ply for the transom. And a Piece for the inside of the transom as well . I then Laid out the hole in the transom, for wich the Tiller to goes thru . I then transfered the layout marks on the 2 pieces of Bich ply, and cut out the slot . I next glued the 2 pieces of Bich ply on the Transom . Then I faired the ply in with the rest of the Hull starting at the Keel and working my way over the top of the transom. ( this helped give the top of the Transom the correct shape  ) Then I could not wait any longer and had to cut the sheer on the Cockpit Coamings .The Coamings have not been glued in and will be installed at finishing stage. Next the Coamings and the Transom will get Stain . Here are the results
