pete48 Posted May 20, 2015 Author #91 Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Well, I am on the Down Wind leg of this build, I started by installing the rear Deck, I then made the trim piece's for the fore and aft bulkheads of the Cockpit. Next, I made the rub rail, and toe Rails and installed and stained them. I then made and installed the trim for the Cockpit Coamings Yesterday I added a second coat of varnish to the Mast and painted the Spreaders white. Next will be to make the Tiller and finish the Rudder Blade, then start on the Hardware, Sails and Rigging. Here are the results Edited May 20, 2015 by Pete48 Jay 1, mikegerber, captainbob 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/

Bob Hi Bob and Pete That's an interesting point you make, Bob. My goal is the same, as well. In my case, something which may have bugged me in the previous model is something that I'll give particular attention to trying to improve upon in the next one. It may not always work out successfully, but, at least my heart's in the right place! On the whole, as long as I can look back and be satisfied that my skills and abilities are improving with each successive model, then, I'm a happy Chappy.

pete48 Posted May 23, 2015 Author #99 Posted May 23, 2015 Thank you Michael, She's coming along , and thanks for the Teak Cap'n'Bob and Patrick, Hindsight is always 20/20 and the thing's that I wished I would have done on the first one I was able to do on this one and there were a lot of improvements that I wanted to do. the only thing that I would have liked to do to this one is to have her be able to Sail. I am planning a 1 1/2 " = 1' - 0" scale version of this boat with radio control.( I have a big wish list for my M-15 so once I put a dent in that and get her on the water I will start that version ) Best Regards, Pete captainbob and mtaylor 2 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/
pete48 Posted May 23, 2015 Author #100 Posted May 23, 2015 A busy day in the shipyard, I started by opening the Sail loft , I then made the main and Jib added the halyards out haul down haul and Jib sheets. ( I had to add the North Sails Logo's because if you Sail you gotta use North Sails ) I then turned my attention to installing the turnbuckles wich I made yesterday . Next I added the cleats ( also made yesterday ) then I added the Cleats to the Mast and Boom. Next will be to install all the Blocks , Rudder , Tiller and rig up the Sails, I am hoping that she will be completed tomorrow.

Jay 1 Posted May 24, 2015 #101 Posted May 24, 2015 Looking really nice--your turnbuckles are excellent, Pete! Likewise, the North Sails logos are awesome and a very nice touch! Did you print the North decals? Cheers, Jay pete48 1 Quote Current Build: Ariel
Omega1234 Posted May 24, 2015 #102 Posted May 24, 2015 Really, really nice, Pete! I'm really enjoying your updates and I gotta admit that if you finish her tomorrow, I may have withdrawal symptoms! Those North Sails also look pretty spiffy.

Today, I was able to pass the committee Boat and cross the finish line. I started by installing the Rudder Blade and Tiller. Next I installed the Standing Rigging. I then installed the blocks and Main Sheet. I then installed the Jib then the Main. This will be the last new posting for this build log, as she is now complete. Here are the results.

Is this it: http://www.montgomeryboats.com/mont15.php If it is, you've got good taste! She's got heaps of character and the clinker hull will be a nice challenge.
