Recommended Posts

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

Thank you Patrick and Cap'n'Bob, and everyone who hit the like button. I am very pleased with how this one is turning out, although this one is static I think it is nicer than the first one

 

Best Regards,

Pete

As we build our models, the one we are working on should always be better than the ones we have finished.

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.

 

All the best

 

Patrick

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

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. Here are the results

Thanks Jay, The North Sails logos were printed on paper , cut out and glued on the Sail cloth , I am happy with how the turnbuckles turned out.

 

Thanks Patrick, I am pleased with how the Sails turned out, as far as the withdrawals, I will be getting back to work on the Volvo 65

 

Best Regards,

Pete

First off I would like to thank everyone that followed this build and for all the likes and comments. 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. More can be seen in the Gallery

Just a beautiful boat, Pete.  The natural wood tone sets off the whole build.

Thank you David B. , Michael,  Mark , I think the wood tones worked out very well on this one .

 

Thanks Patrick,  I usually do not keep the models, the fun for me is in building them . I have this one up for sale on ebay , along with a few Lobster Smacks ( I have a big wish list of items for my Montgomery 15) I thought I would try something you mentioned last summer ( I am also working on a web site ) 

 

Best Regards,

Pete

Hi Pete

 

I was really curious to see what the Montgomery 15 looked like, so I googled it.  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.

 

I look forward to seeing you pull it together!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick
