Dee_Dee Posted June 28, 2014 #6 Posted June 28, 2014 Joe, Looking nice! This was my first built and whilst it was not my best, I learned a lot and plan to build it again. Whilst I don't have any info / ideas on the 'hardware' for the Sakonnet, I would like to suggest researching information for Lightning sailboats. The first Lightning Sailboat was build in 1938 in a small upstate New York village, based on history and detail going back to just after the Revolutionary war. Another classic for 'details' is the Snipe. As for the decking, based on photos I've seen of Sakonnet's, the decking was constructed of a layer of plywood that was covered in canvas. The canvas was then sealed / waterproofed using a concoctions of marine grade paints. It was a high maintenance deck that had to be replaced every few years. But it is a true classic . I've been traveling the past two weeks for work and plan to get home sometime next week. When I get home, I'll look for photos of the Sakonnet. themadchemist and piperjoe 2 Quote Current Build - Glad Tidings -MS Completed Builds - Dragon - Corel - One design International Class Yacht - Sloup Coquillier / Shell Fish Sloop - Corel - Based on 'Bergere de Domremy / Shepherdess from Domremy - Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack - Scratch build based on drawings from Chapelle's book "American Small Sailing Craft" On the Shelf - Gretel-Mamoli - Emma C.

Jay 1 Posted August 10, 2014 #10 Posted August 10, 2014 Very nice work, Joe! I like the green and while colors of your hull, and your interior work is sweet ( your rudder looks great!).

Judging from the airfoil sections in the background you do some fairly large RC aircraft.

Piet Posted September 20, 2014 #16 Posted September 20, 2014 That's becoming a lovely little boat Joe. Reminds me of my sailing days in Holland waaaaaayyyy back in the early '50's.

JPett Posted September 23, 2014 #20 Posted September 23, 2014 Ahoy Joe I myself prefer the brass rod that you are using. However I recently saw a build where black Monofilament fishing line was used against a white maple deck with black caulking. It was a very good look as the treenails (for a better word) contrasted very nicely and stood proud. . Consider all the colors and diameters that fishing line comes in I am sure the possibilities are endless. Your log has inspired me to take a trip to Bass pro shops and see if they sell a "rust" or "corroded" colored fishing line. piperjoe 1 Quote On with the Show....

KayZee Posted October 7, 2014 #26 Posted October 7, 2014 Hi Joe, I have one of these kits that is badly framed and I'm too intimidated to get the hull planking done since I already had to rip the planks off twice. : ( I didn't start modeling to be unhappy so I'm working on paper boats and will get back to the SDS one day. A long way to go to tell I find your log to be interesting and informative. regards] Kurt piperjoe 1 Quote
Piet Posted October 7, 2014 #27 Posted October 7, 2014 It's getting better and better Joe! Love the extra detail you add to that lovely little boat. The different colored wood really makes it a classy boat the rich and famous would be proud of owning.
