pete48 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share #74 Posted June 26, 2014 Today , I was able to get alot of work done on the 12 1/2. Starting with re shaping the Transom so that it rolls over the top , I then cut out all the seat braces and cut the frames down to more resemble Ribs. I then made the cockpit Coamings soaked them in alcohol , installed them, sanded them, and finaly stained them ( I stained the Transom at the same time ) . I also made the Cockpit Floor and Aft seat ( wich I had previously made templates for) I was very pleased with the results . Next will be to varnish the Transom and Coamings . Here are the results Aussie048, captainbob, Elmer Cornish and 3 others 6 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 June 29, 2014 Author Share #76 Posted June 29, 2014 Yesterday morning was Brutal, the 12 1/2 fell from a high spot breaking the Transom off. And causing damage to the Starboard side Bow area in front of frame 3 to frame 2 . so the repair work began , by cutting back the remaining part of the Transom square, so that a new piece could be sandwiched in between 2 pieces of Birch Ply. ( to give it more strength ) I then glued some scrap pieces of planking material , to fill in the hull . Next, I re faired the hull . I then re-shaped the Cockpit coamings ( they were to tall ) I then Stained the Transom and Cockpit Coamings. I then Applied 3 coats of varnish.

pete48 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share #82 Posted June 29, 2014 Thank You , Geoff, It was a great learning experience, I was not sure at first if she could be repaired Thank You Jay, It was heart wrenching , fortunatly, the repairs to the hull will be covered with paint. The trickey part was where the Cockpit coamings meet the Transom , in the second photo you can see the line in the coaming ( port stern ) I think thats the only thing that is going to be noticable. Thank You David B., It was rather unfortunate , However I was able to upgrade the transom ,with the birch ply Thank You Piet, Stuff does happen from time to time that is out of your hands . I think how you handle it determines the outcome . Thank You Dave , I appreciate it . I think she came back together rather nicely, I am going to re-primer the hull today Thank You Michael, it ended up working out pretty good . I think the Birch on the transom is a great upgrade In this Photo, you can see the repair where the hull meets the Transom Best Regards, Pete Elmer Cornish, Aussie048, Mirabell61 and 1 other 4 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 June 29, 2014 Author Share #86 Posted June 29, 2014 Hi Nils, I agree this size boat is perfect for day Sailing, and she can be singlehanded wich is a big bonus ( my Wife does not always want to go Sailing ) I would Sail everyday if I could, ( and to me this would be the boat to have ) I have been fortunate to Sail a few of the these, and you cant beat a full keel for directionality ( they track very well ) and no weather helm .
