russ Posted May 15, 2014 Share #31 Posted May 15, 2014 The planking looks good so far. One thing I can tell you is to make sure you are getting good contact where the planks run off the transom. With the planks running past the transom, it is sometimes difficult to tell if you have nice plank seams around the edge of the transom. The better the seam is, the less filling you will have to do.

Rick020763 Posted May 15, 2014 Share #37 Posted May 15, 2014 Good Morning, Pete: I had a Buzzards Bay 14 for fourteen years, until last month. It came with a full set of plans which the original owner had acquired from either the Herreshoff Museum or the maritime museum at Mystic. I had it rigged as a gaff cutter, with topsail; it was great fun to sail, well balanced, very flexible, powerful and a beautiful sight on the water. I've attached a picture. Good luck: it's a worthy project. Rick (Rick020763, new member) Mirabell61, Elmer Cornish, Elia and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete48 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share #43 Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Today, I thought I would finish Planking the Herreshoff, However I realized that I did not cut in the 1/8" for the Transom. I decided that I would add a 1/8" X 1/8" strip to the stern of the Keel, and move my Rabbet line 1/8" aft. That is somthing that I will remember for the next one ( and there will be a next one ) there are already a few things that I would do differently. ( That will be for the next build log ) Anyway I then started soaking my planking material while I finished shaping the sheer line ( I am pleased with the result ) It matches the Print . the Planking went smooth and all the seams are nice and tight. I did a good amount of Fairing . Next will be to finish the Planking and build a Cradle . I have had alot of fun building this boat ( my favorite so far ) and aside from the transom sticking out an extra 1/8" ( or the boat being 1/8" too long ) the rest of it is right on the money. Here are the results Edited May 18, 2014 by pete48 captainbob, Elia, egkb and 7 others 10 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete48 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share #47 Posted May 21, 2014 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.

michael mott Posted May 21, 2014 Share #48 Posted May 21, 2014 I have to echo the previous comments regarding the sweet lines of this beauty. I do have a question regarding the transom it looks a bit odd sticking up above the planking is that the way it will look when finished? I ask this because of the picture that Rick posted of his boat.

pete48 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share #57 Posted May 23, 2014 Next I will be concentrating on the cockpit, the Mast step and supports . The plans show the benches and forward bulkhead as being open. I will make them closed as well as adding the door. Does anyone know of a trick to make the louvers ? here are some pics of what I am going for egkb and Elmer Cornish 2 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete48 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share #58 Posted May 24, 2014 Today, I started on the Mast step ( wich was more complicated than I had first thought ) Fortunatly I had the Keel height correct ( per the plans ) I started by making a 6" length of mast ( at the correct specs ) Then I cut out some 1/32" Birch ply strips, that would fit between the stations and run from top to bottom of the Keel. ( only for the mast step station ) I then cut out 3/32" material, and cut those pieces to run to the top of the frame. I then put the mast section ( that I had made )and cut out the piece to fit in the slot as per the plans. I then made the upper brace, installed the 1" ( scale ) block to the top of the frame ( toward the bow ) This will give me the correct mast angle. I then installed the side pieces and the supports that run down the frame. I added the triangles for more support, they are not on the plans . ( I just felt they should be there to beef up that section ) The center piece of the mast step has not been glued in, I will wait at this point till I make the mast ( hopfully Sitka Spruce ) this will allow me some wiggle room when it comes time to fit the mast .

pete48 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share #59 Posted May 24, 2014 Next I cut out a piece of 1/32" birch plywood to emclose the forward section of the cockpit. ( it has not been glued in so that I can still add details ) ) I cut for the deck camber and will add filler piece betwwen the ply and the mast step brace. ( this should make the mast section very solid ) I then cut out the rear cockpit bulkhead with the deck camber cut in as well ( it has not been glued ) Next will be to get the rear deck section framed in, and to frame in for the bench seats.

michael mott Posted May 24, 2014 Share #60 Posted May 24, 2014 Pete thanks for the answer, the pictures of the full size ones are making me drool all over the keyboard' regarding the louvres if you look at some of the shots of the lockers on Toni's build perhaps that will help sort them out they are 1:48 and yours are 3 times larger scale but smaller louvres so the same system might work.
