It is Raining once again here , So finish work will have to wait. It was however a great day to re-loft the 12 1/2 , and create a new lines drawing with the corrections . I feel alot more confident going into the next 12 1/2  Build with the new plans ( the Scale is 3/4" = 1' - 0" ) Here are the results

You're right, Pete the newer bow looks fuller; also looks like the the newer version has slightly more dead rise and a bit more rake at the stern. Always nice seeing manual draughts--lookin' good!

Jay

Thanks David, I dont want to do as much sanding and fairing on the next one , so the profile needs to be correct

 

Thank you Omega, I am pleased with the painted plank ends and varnished transom  , I will still need to round off the top of the transom

 

Thanks Jay, The Bow is fuller , and the stern did change as well , the original numbers got off somehow, ( I think I was to conservative with the bow section on the original ) I am old school and like to make the drawings by hand . ( plus I have no idea how to use CAD )  the new one looks alot better than the original, ( almost O.E. )LOL

Pete

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

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. Here are the results

That sucks, Pete--know the feeling when these little guys take a tumble. Looks like you were able to repair her--don't see any signs of the mishap--and she's looking sweet as ever!

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

Hi Nils, To the best of my knowledege , None of the Herreshoff boats built thru Herreshoff Mfg.Co or Cape Cod Shipbuilding , have been built in a Clinker . However a Company called Brooks Boats Designs, came up with a version of the 12 1/2, that boat is done clinker-built. here are a few photos

Pete

Lovely, lovely !

 

Pete, that makes my heart jump, These boats are just the right size for keelboat daysailers, not too heavy good for trailor Transport and two adults Hands for handling in / out water twice a year

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 . One of the most beautifull boats I have ever seen, or have had the privilege to Sail 

 

Best Regards,

Pete
