AndyG Posted March 27, 2014 #874 Posted March 27, 2014 Michael, thanks for the video - it is great to "see" you and the boat, properly at last! If I may make a couple of suggestions? Do not worry about over-running end-stops on powerful winches. I'm using a linear winch for my jib sheets on Racundra, powered by a geared-down 12V motor running off the output of an ESC. Certainly there's a pile more pull in it than I'll ever need: but microswitches at the "buffers" and a pair of cunningly wired diodes ensure that I can't ever drive the winch too far. At either limit you can only drive it back into range. Something like this would make certain that you couldn't sheet in too tightly (possibly the most damaging risk in your mainsheet requirements). Secondly - I will never use the above solution again! The reason is, I've recently been playing with microprocessors and stepper motors, and I am now utterly certain that the best way to handle sheets on an R/C sailing vessel is to turn it into "an exercise for the programmer". Many microprocessors (like the £35 Arduino that I'm using, and available just about anywhere) come with built-in abilities to read the signals normally sent to servos: that is, you can convert "stick position" into a variable. And with a few lines of code, you can convert that variable into a step-count used by any stepper motor driver. During conversion, you can adjust rates and proportions: create, for example, non-"linear" proportions. So your winch could tighten more slowly when nearly sheeted, loosen differently when sheeting out - really, just about anything you want. I think, if there's interest, this might deserve a thread of its own - not least because it is (I'm increasingly convinced) the best way to handle the bracing of yards in square sail model ships.

DSiemens Posted March 27, 2014 #875 Posted March 27, 2014 Michael there was talk a while ago about doing a Turks head not on the tiller. There's jigs for Turks head knots that make it simple. An article was put out recently in the Ship in Bottle Association of America that showed how to build a jog and use it. I'll see if I can't PM it to you. An example of the jig can be found in my German Cutter build linked in my signature.

michael mott Posted March 27, 2014 Author #877 Posted March 27, 2014 John, thanks. Joe thanks for checking in I will do my best. Drazen, thanks for your comment, i am wondering about how to deal with the sailing. Sometimes I wish we had a local pond and not a big lake. Denis I definitely plan to get her in the water. I hope to pull it off this summer. Bob thanks again, It also occurs to me as I've read your log, that you must have an inexhaustible inventory of brass and wood Tom I wish, the thing is that I am a bit of a pack rat and over the last 45 years I have been collecting material, wood metal plastic leather wire and so on, A funny story is this one: for one of the projects built for a client when I was building models and exhibits before retiring, needed some fine spring wire for a model rocket that was to launch and rise 35 feet the rocket was in a science centre and the cabinet looked like a payload for the shuttle, the wire I needed was two lengths about 40 feet of some wire about the same thickness as the smallest string in a guitar. I went to a local manufacturer of springs in Edmonton and told them what I wanted the chap at the desk went out to the back and took longer that I thought it would take to come back with 40 feet of fine wire. after about 20 minutes he came back out with a coil of wire that was about 15 inches in diameter that looked like it had a couple of miles of this stuff, he was clearly frustrated and told me that he couldn't spend any more time trying to find the end, and I could purchase the lot for 20 dollars. I agreed and walked out with a couple of miles of very fine wire. and I have enough wire to last the next three lifetimes for what I need it for. I guess as I purchased materials for projects over the years the left overs would be saved instead of being tossed because I knew that down the road I would be able to use them. The same goes for tools over a long time doing a great variety of different models and exhibit projects if a specific tool was needed I would build it into the price. I would rather make something than buy it. Sometimes there are also minimums that one has to purchase when doing this stuff commercially, this is the case with most of the brass that I have that is odd sized and not the usual hobby type sizes. And if a tool breaks then I save the parts and regrind them into another. The curse is I never want to move again...ever. The reason is, I've recently been playing with microprocessors and stepper motors, and I am now utterly certain that the best way to handle sheets on an R/C sailing vessel is to turn it into "an exercise for the programmer". Andy thanks for stopping by your thoughts about the control are interesting, that said my knowledge about electronics and microprocessors would fit on the head of a pin. I'm of the old flashlight battery and bulb school of electronics. And if I thought I could get away with it I would train a couple of mice to handle the sheets, Joking aside I am hoping to keep this as simple as the old pond yachts (I know that this is really not possible given what I have already done) the sailing is important but only so far as I will know that it will sail, for me the design and building of the next boat will take over as soon as this one is finished. For me the process is what drives my energy not the finished product so much. As I finish each piece the next task or item becomes the next challenge to solve, keeping track of all the parts would be overwhelming otherwise. I'm not sure that this is making sense but it is what it is. Daniel I look forward to seeing your jig. because I do want to add one.

A small slab of apple was set up in the mill and the broken reground 5/8 endmill was used like a fly-cutter to bore the 5/8 hole. Next the basic shape was fretted out with the jewelers saw The pieces from one side were then stuck back on with some double sided tape so that the other profile could be cut. After a lot of filing and sanding then steel wool the shape is almost finished Tomorrow a few hold down screws. then back to the cockpit cap rail.

Twister Posted March 31, 2014 #886 Posted March 31, 2014 Great work again Michael, this build log could more accurately be described as a masterclass!! Out of interest, what sort of glue do you use on those capping pieces? Also, thinking ahead with the r/c in mind, do you have any thoughts about how you might link the tiller or rudder to a servo? To preserve the integrity of the 'scale look' I'm thinking of tiller lines taken to each side of the cockpit and then below deck through small diameter copper of brass tube from where it could be routed through to the servo. I mention this now as it may be possible to hide the tubing in the cockpit coaming, something that may be easier to do before the capping rail is permanently fitted. Looking forward to the next instalment...

michael mott Posted March 31, 2014 Author #887 Posted March 31, 2014 I mention this now as it may be possible to hide the tubing in the cockpit coaming, something that may be easier to do before the capping rail is permanently fitted. Row I am already ahead of you there. Before the crash of MSW 1.0 I had been documenting the build from the keel up and after I did not rebuild the log but just picked up where I had got too. I do have however hundreds of photographs of the entire build from the very begining. this picture shows the curved brass tube to carry the steering wire to the tiller. the first decking was white pine and the wires were set before the first planking was finished the wire was to have a stop fixed so that it would move back and forth tracking beneath the cockpit eventually I covered the first layer of planking with a layer of clear fir because I did not like the way the first layer looked plus there was the issue of the cover board and learning about the construction of the full sized practice as I was moving along. after the fir was scraped and given a rub down with steel wool the steel exit holes are virtually invisible but they are still there as marked by the red circle in this picture. Now this is a possibility that I am considering very seriously, and that is to not put any kind of radio in her at all but to sail it with the rigging set and cleated as if she was a classic pond yacht. the reason being, that the build is more important than the sailing of this model, My sailing will happen in Maria. the boat is set so that if I wanted to add the radio and other gear later I could do it. I would rather spend my time though building the next boat than sailing a model, as long as I know it will sail that is all that matters at this point, so it will get to the water and it will be documented for sure. And to answer you question about glue , I am using lepages carpenters glue and the cap will be varnished or oiled when finished. michael SailorGreg, Aussie048, qwerty2008 and 7 others 10 Quote Current builds Bristol Pilot Cutter 1:8; Skipjack 19 foot Launch 1:8; Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 1:8 Other projects Pilot Cutter 1:500 ; Maria, 1:2 Now just a memory Future model Gill Smith Catboat Pauline 1:8 Finished projects A Bassett Lowke steamship Albertic 1:100 Anything you can imagine is possible, when you put your mind to it.

Owen Ball Posted April 1, 2014 #894 Posted April 1, 2014 Hi Michael I am in the process of building based on the little bit of nostalgia below, the Hull is just about done now and will post you in time to come with a few pitures, what a commendable job you are doing, enjoy following your progress. Best regards Owen YACHT ACTIVE:- BRISTOL CHANNEL PILOT CUTTER that my father, Jack Ball one of 5 lived on with their parents. She was built in 1883 by W.G.Luke & Co. on the Hamble and for the first 20 or so years she was owned by a Southampton pilot. In 1910 she was bought by a Cardiff pilot-James Duggan. She was sold to the Cardiff pilot company in 1913 for £325 and remained with the company-by 1915 being used as a lodging house for the pilots. In 1919 she was sold to Samuel Starling Ball of 68 Kimberley Road Cardiff. Who was my grandfather. He sold her in 1923 to a Mr Fenwick of Bourne in Lincolnshire. She then had various owners in the 1920s and 1930s including a Col. Bramhall of Earls Court London and a Viscount Fitzharris of Basingstoke. After the Second World War she passed through various owners the last known being Henry R. Amis of Ealing London in 1956. Her dimensions were (in feet) 54 length, 13.2 beam, draught 8. I believe Her first engine was installed in 1923 so when she was in our family’s Ownership she probably had no engine-just as when she was a working pilot cutter. I have a silver trophy for ‘sailing round the Island’- I think this was a race in the Bristol Channel and refers –possibly- to sailing around Lundy? Hope that this is of some interest.

Owen Welcome and I look forward to some pictures of your build, Do you have any pictures of your grandfathers boat? This evening I started to frame up the companionway and decided to add doors instead of hatch boards. The stops have been glued inplace, tomorrow i will notch out for the hinges and make them as well. also while looking at the compass I wondered about the location and then it came to me in a flash.... a little bit of cutting both wood and metal and this is the configuration, I am much happier with the location, it just did not look right sitting on the deck. The block of mahogany is just sitting there at the moment, I am thinking that a couple of curved doors so that there is some access under the binnacle it seems logical, I will think on it while I make the companionway doors.
