Great job on the trim. That sets off the hull and deck nicely. She is looking really spiffy.

Thank you Russ, shes comming together

 

Thank you Jay, Hopefully this week, I will start ballast and rigging

 

Thank you Dave, I am pleased with the color scheme , She's a looker

 

Thank you Richard, Glad to see you stop by

 

Thank you Geoff, the 12 1/2 is not yet perfected, I am going to re loft the Profile drawing , I ended up with a glitch . So I will build another 12 1/2 with the corrections. Then I will talk about a 1:1 scale ( it has been a plan for a long time to build a full size Herreshoff, over 15 years)

 

Best Regards,

Pete

Thank you Bob, Getting closer to Sailing

 

Thanks David , This one is right on the money,( I have a full set of plans for the Buzzards Bay 14 ) When I was Talking to Geoff , I was refering to my 12 1/2 proto-type, The 12 1/2 is the Boat that I intend to do a 1 : 1 build, I am still developing the Plans, and have another model to do, once I have made all the corrections

 

Best Regards,

Pete

Thank you Robert, She is a beauty, This build has turned out alot better than I had hoped for , The only thing that is not Plan correct is the Cockpit floor , I raised it thinking that I could hide the radio gear in the bilge, as it turns out she is a bit small for raidio gear .However  I will still take her Sailing .

 

Best Regards,

Pete

  • 2 weeks later...

Today , While paint was drying on the 12 1/2, I decided to do some tank testing . I used small fishing weights ( the round ones ) filled the bilge where the lead for the Keel is . Then I put her in the water tank ( kitchen sink )  The water line is right on the money, This boat has been a pleasure to build . Here are the results

Thank you Geoff , She passed with flying colors

 

Hi Omege, She is a bit to small for radio gear , so I will let her free sail

 

Thank you Michael, I am thinking a light weight rip-stop nylon ( white)

Pete

Hi Pete. For what it's worth, I used to scrounge in the bins of the local sailmakers for discarded bits of sail cloth. The most suitable bits that I found useful were the lightest weight spinnaker cloth. Not only was it light, but, because of its weight and flexibility, I found that they always looked realistic and drew beautifully when under way.

 

All the best.

Come on Pete.  With all the small and mini RC equipment out there.  Surely  you can find some that will fit.  Go for it.

Hi Cap'n'Bob, True they do make radio gear that small, however there has been talk about building a 12 1/2 at 1:1 in this house , Hopefully , once the revised 12 1/2  is built ( the next build  ) and the boat goes together like on this one did. I can make a step toward 1 : 1 build . so I will hold off on Radio gear for now

 

Best Regards,

Pete

Today, the Boat moved into the fitting out stage. ( one of my favorite parts of a build ) I started by trimming the back deck and installing it . I then made doors for the Bow and Stern cockpit lockers. I then stained and installed them. Next I moved to installing the chain plates for the shrouds ( I found these beading parts at michael's wich are perfect) I drilled holes at the chain plate locations and installed them with epoxy. next was attaching the turnbuckles . I also started making the 2 cleats for the mast.  I also started  making the double block for the main sheet. in the pic you can see the beading part I used for the chain plate base's. I also installed the rudder with epoxy . ( she will sail straight ) I drilled the hole in the boom for the topping lift and installed a small metal cleat (left over from the lobster smack build) here are the results
