pete48 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share #151 Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks Piet, I thought it would be fun to have a complete set of working sails for the boat , ( then she will be able to sail no matter the comditions ) I wish I would of had a reefing point on the Buzzards Bay Main ( at the time she sailed, the wind was just a bit strong at times ) Plus when the inspiration is there , you gotta go for it. Your shipyard seems like it will be busy for a while.

pete48 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share #152 Posted August 27, 2014 Last night it got to late to do a build log, Yesterday I started by finishing the Life Boat boxes, I soaked very thin strips of wood and bent them around the Boxes . I then painted the banding red. I also re did the Toe rails , as I only wanted the Red to show on top. the 4 primary winches were also painted a flat Black , and the Roller furling Drum was Painted flat Black . Nothing has been glued to the Boat at this stage.

pete48 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share #154 Posted August 27, 2014 We Have a 10 X 15 foot Shed , I Have been using it for Painting , Kate said just use it for your Boat building shop ( SOLD ) once I brought the Table in , I decided to make a Burgee ( Pete & Kate Royal Yacht Club ) that scored me some points , I then turned my attention to making a working Jib and 150 % Genoa.

pete48 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share #164 Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) After the Annual Family Labor Day Weekend Camping Extravaganza, I could not wait to get back to work , I started by finishing the hem in the Foot of the working Jib and 150 % Genoa , I then added the North Sails logos ( On boats I have owned, if a sail needed to be replaced I always Bought from North Sails ) I then turned my attention to making the Keel . I started by buying a fishing weight that was close to size and weight. . In this case I needed to add extra to the trailing edge of the bulb. I then wraped flat brass around it and attached it to the Keel . next I added the side pices of the Keel enclosing the Brass, in the center . the entire Keel was put together with West Sytem Epoxy. I gave myself alot of material , so that I may obtain the corect Keel Foil Shape .

pete48 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share #167 Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Today, I started by working on the Keel , I did alot of fairing and then applied a second coat of epoxy. ( I hope to have the Keel ready for paint next ) I told Piet that I would be making the Main Sail, However I decided to try and make Gennaker # 2 ( the shorter Gennaker) with the Blue rip-stop Nylon, This material was alot harder to work with than the Fabric for the first 2 sails. ( the glue has to be placed in such away as not to effect it's ability to Furl )It worked out after the second try , I am happy with how the seams turned out and it's ability to Furl, I then turned my attention to making the second Steering wheel , Here are the results Edited September 5, 2014 by Pete48 Aussie048, kees de mol, Elmer Cornish and 7 others 10 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...

The more I read about your sails and this rolling mechanism for unfurling the sails, the more I want to see your ship in the water! You gotta get it on YouTube because I'm really keen to see it in action. You've done great work so far and that bulb on the keel looks like it'll really do the trick. Nice and streamlined.

pete48 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share #177 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Thanks Tom, I used a elmers white glue to attach the logos , I did a bunch of testing with different glues and the standard white glue worked best . ( unfortunatly it's not water proof , so varnishing over the logos should keep them waterproof. Thanks Michael, its amazing how the Keel works like that, allowing you to keep maximum sail up ( someone made alot of money on that idea ) Best Regards, Pete Edited September 12, 2014 by Pete48 Omega1234, Elmer Cornish, Piet 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 September 18, 2014 Author Share #180 Posted September 18, 2014 I finally was able to get some work done on the Volvo today. I started by closing in the cabin top and companionway , I then finished up the steering wheel for the Starboard side steering station ( and pinted it to match the Port side ). I then varnished over the logos , and painted the cabin top red and companionway white ( I will be putting a logo over the companionway entrance ) Here are the results Jay 1, The Sailor, Omega1234 and 9 others 12 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...
