pete48 Posted July 4, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 4, 2014 With the Buzzards Bay 14 & 12 1/2 proto-type nearing completion , I decided to build the 1983 Americas cup winner AUSTRALIA II KA-6 .( in a 3/16" = 1' - 0" Scale.) This will be a hull only build . When I was a kid, this Boat with all it's inovations gave the America's Cup a wake up call. it kinda ended an Era, soon after, corporate sponsorships and constant rule's changes would be a constant thing .( anyone who follows the Cup knows what I mean) Don't get me wrong I am still a big fan of the America's Cup . This to me is the Boat that shook up the Cup . And is a Boat that I have wanted to build for a long time . So I thought I would squeeze it in before I start the Revised Herreshoff 12 1/2 , Plus it should be alot of fun to build mtaylor, dgbot, Omega1234 and 5 others 8 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 July 4, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted July 4, 2014 I first layed out the Keel with the help of tracing paper and the lines drawing . I then cut out the Keel, and started to lay out the frames and deck. I think this will be a fun build , She's like 65 ft. long ( so I am not just building small boats LOL) Here are the results malmoerik, piperjoe, IgorSky 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...

Thank you Michael Mott , There is always room for 1 more Thank you John, I have wanted to build an Americas Cup Boat , since I was a kid . I think Australia 2 is the perfect boat for this build Thank you Omega, I was in high School when liberty lost the cup . I remember watching it on tv . it turned the sailing world upside down . I saw the cup in San diego in 87 after Dennis won it back ( Stars and Stripes The last of the 12 meters) Thank you Keith, for the Awesome photos . its pretty amazing to see them in person , in 92 I saw NZL 20 up close ( its very impressive ) I would love to go to Fremantle Thank you Robert , it should be fun to figure out the wing keel Thank you Tom, The America's Cup has come along way ( I remember when the cup was in court , back in 88 due to a hostile Dead of Gift Challenge ) the races went on, and we defended with a catamaran ( wich was not ever spoken in the same sentence as Americas Cup ) Now look that what the Americas cup has become ( see pic ) Thank you Augie , should be a fun build Best Regards, Pete MEDDO, Aussie048, hexnut 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 July 5, 2014 Author Share #15 Posted July 5, 2014 Today, I actually got more time to build than I thought. I started by laying out the rest of the frames. ( for anyone that is new to scratch building , When you use a lines drawing for your plans , You have to subtract the thickness of your planking from the frame's . or your boat will have to much Beam... just throwing it out there ) I then cut them out with an X-Acto knife ( I do not use power tools when I build models, I save that for Full size builds ) I then thought to add the America's Cup logo to the Keel . I then cut out the notches in the Keel and frames, and dry fit them . Next I cut out the deck , I then dry fit all the pieces ( I still have to trim a few frames to deck height) My wife thinks she is very Sleek , and I have to agree. I am having alot of fun with this one . I am off to the Family 4th party.

CAd My Fingers Posted July 5, 2014 Share #18 Posted July 5, 2014 Great start, Pete--everything looks spot on, and I agree with your wife about the Ausralia's sleekness! Likewise, good tip about moulded breath vs. breadth extreme...that one bit me once while drawing a body plan; needless to say I don't think I'll trip over that rock again (that teaching lesson resulted in re-doing that entire plan, ugh).

How are you going to install the little depression in the deck for the crewmen (not sure what you call it), given that your bulkheads rise to the level of the deck? Hi Keith , I should have mentioned in the beginning that the sheer line is cut into the Keel. ( so the top if the keel is the bottom of the deck or deck height ) there wont be any cockpit details as this is a hull only build . the tops of the frames will be cut down to match the deck height , thus giving her the sheer line once the deck is installed . if you look at the photo you can see that the frames are to tall ( I do that so there is wiggle room ) nothing at this stage of the build has been glued .

pete48 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share #20 Posted July 5, 2014 Hi Omega , Thanks, She is practicaly building herself , everything so far has gone together very easy , She has been alot of fun to build Hi Jay , It was quite the shin-dig last night , I dont think I will need to eat this week . Fortunatly, I learned the reduction in Half bredths from my Dad,( I was about 14 years old ) and the use of scantling's to make all the calculations for the frames and keel . I have been bitten by the lofting itself a few times . ( most recent is the 12 1/2 proto-type , the profile drawing was incorrect ) it resulted into alot of fairing , I can totally relate Hi Geoff , The Boxing Kangaroo, is now her nickname in this house.( Full credit goes to you ,) I think it would be great to see other's who want to take on this build . or any of the modern AC boats. here is a shot of Australia II tacking over Liberty . and I had to throw in the other shot as well Best Regards, Pete Piet, egkb, mtaylor 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 July 6, 2014 Author Share #26 Posted July 6, 2014 Hi Omega, and for anyone else who is intrested . I did some research on liberty. It seems that She was sold to a Japanese Broker and shipped to Japan. Here is the Quote I found : "For the boat, Dennis Conner's 'Liberty',we do not know about what she is doing now. However, she had been in Japan certainly. We know some sailors who had sailed Liberty. Since she has been lost, many people looked for her, and we received a lot of inquiries about it. May be someone who didn't know about her history sold or let her die (rusting away) “ But the yacht was the only one up to now which forced the challenger to sail all 7 rounds before she lost finally 4 : 3 ". And here is a pic of her being shipped off from San Diego Elmer Cornish, dgbot, Aussie048 and 2 others 5 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...
