pete48 Posted July 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2014 This Summer Like every summer since I was a Kid , I get bit by the America's Cup Bug , This year is no exception , I have just about completed my first 12 meter Yacht ( Australia II ) and I am not quite ready to start my next project ( I will need some more R & D ) I Decided to build the 1987 America's Cup Winner Stars & Stripes, The Last 12 Meter Yacht to Win the America's Cup. She will be built in a 3/16" = 1' - 0" Scale. ( same scale as the Boxing Kangaroo ) This build will be a hull only build, I may detail the deck by cutting out the cockpit section of the boat. ( we will see ) I remember this America's cup very well , and was glued to the T.V. the entire time it would come on. I grew up in a Sailing Family, so this is our Super Bowl / World Series. Any way I got the Keel Layed out along with the frames and cut them out . Next I will cut the notches in the Keel for the Frames, true them up and install ( at that point I will decide if I am going to do the Cockpit Details.

pete48 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Hi Michael , It is starting to look that way Hi Omega, I just had to build Stars & Stripes . For the 87' Cup this boat was not that fast in light wind , However in heavier wind this boat was fast and uncatchable , Plus She brought the Cup to San Diego, ( I was born and raised in southern California )So I was able to See the cup in person, And went to the Races for the 92' Cup ( that's another story ) Hi Michael mott, It kinda just worked out that way , not by design I included the list of the boats for the challenger series Best Regards, pete Edited July 17, 2014 by Pete48 fnkershner, Omega1234, Aussie048 and 4 others 7 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 17, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted July 17, 2014 Today, I was able to get an early start. I started by notching the Keel for the frames ( and trued them up ) , Next I laid out the Deck, and decided at that point that I would do some detail work on this one, by adding the cockpit. First I cut the deck where the cockpit lay out is, the piece that I cut out will become the cockpit floor. Next I cut Frames 7, 8, & 9 for the cockpit, then Cut the keel for the floor. I then cut out the transom , nothing has been glued at this stage ( just a dry fit ) She's lining up real well, and going smooth as silk. Next will be to glue in the frames and install the cockpit floor and Deck . Her lines are alot different than the Boxing Kangaroo.

Piet Posted July 17, 2014 Share #8 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Ah yes, I remember Stars and Stripes winning the America's cup in 1987. I was then a brand spanking new green card immigrant, living in New Jersey and of course rooted for the Stars and Stripes to win the cup for my newly adopted country. Correction: I made a grave error in the date of my arrival in the USA Chalk that one up to old age ???? I arrived March 13, 1957 and became a citizen in May, 1962. Let's see, 1987 I was a director of QC/QA and Engineering for a regional airline near Philly. I'll be following Pete!

pete48 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted July 19, 2014 After I sprayed the First Coat of paint on the Boxing Kangaroo, I started installing all the frames ( remember Level is Level & Plumb is Plumb ) when I lay- out the Keel, I always mark the Water line first ( Level ) then I mark the frame spacing square to the water line ( Plumb when the Keel is up - right ) Then the rest of the boat is drawn in from the line's drawing . Then when I cut out the keel , I save 5 to 6 inches in length from the bottom of the Keel and glue it on a wide piece of wood, ( this becomes the base ) then I glue a Piece on each side . Place the keel in the slot , and she sits like she is in the water , ( plumb and Level ) Of course I double check everything with a level , and a square. I am throwing that out there for anyone that would like to start scratch building , because it's alot of fun. That being Said I glued in all the frames, the cockpit floor , The deck and the Transom . I then started to get the Cockpit Closed in. She's right on the money ( Checked against my new Stabila level ) and is looking like Stars & Stripes.

pete48 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share #15 Posted July 19, 2014 Today, I finished closing in the Cockpit, Then I started thinking about adding the 2 Steering Wheels ( I may have to do more detail to this one ) Then I started shaping the Cockpit ( by rounding off the edges ) I am pleased with how the Cockpit is turning out .( the whole boat for that matter ) I then started Fairing the frames to get her Ready for Planking. I Love the Sheer Line on Stars & Stripes ( has that certain somthing ) She's going together very smooth . Some more Frame Fairing and she will be ready for planking.

pete48 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share #23 Posted July 21, 2014 Thank's J. , I have not used plywood for a frame and Keel ( I should look into that, as I plan Larger scale builds in the future ) , I realy like using this current set up ,for the smaller scale models. Thank's Mauro, I am glad to have you along Hi Dave, I had a friend that built R.C. Planes that told me about it, since alcohol evaporates faster than water you can install pices more quikly , as the glue will stick to it sooner than if you used water .
