Hi,
I've seen a few ideas that I still need to improve! Thanks for the top photos, of course I didn't use roller bearings for my โReine des Ventsโ, but stoled some metal bobbins from my wife's sewing machine. I'm sure you can imagine: Noise pre-programmed. . Regards Michel-C. ▲

Hi mturpin013.
I assure you that this is one of the most interesting posts for me. I absolutely need to understand how you control the sails. I am very critical of the system I used, but I was unable, at the time, to think of something better. Thanks for the detailed explanation (I'm rereading it because I don't translate well in some places) but above all thanks so much for the many images. Please post a video as soon as you can. Excellent work, good continuation. ▲

Very impressive work, I am envious of the build which will finish with one of the best Inga 4 around.
Watching with a great deal of interest and ready to copy as many bits as I am capable of. Excellent work. Regards ChrisG ▲

Nice work Mike. This stage is one where it does not pay to try and cut corners. The time and effort will pay off and you will have a finish you are proud of. It certainly looks impressive to me !๐

Mike, thanks for the link, I contacted them but they only supply cellulose primers and thinners.
They don't sell cellulose paint only acrylics and acrylic lacquer. Will have to keep looking, I found a vintage car restorer near Hereford that use cellulose paint, so I will ask them about suppliers. Cheers Colin. ▲

Great paint job, I have never been happy with my results at spraying, another skill out there that I have not got.
I painted my slipper launch in duck egg blue which is a similar colour and on the right hull looks really good. The work that you put into this model is to be admired both the hull and the deck are amazing. I follow your build with interest and envy. Regards ChrisG ▲

Mike where do you get cellulose paint from, I've tried my local bodyshop suppliers but they don't stock it anymore.

Very nice work indeed Michael.
I know how tricky curved planking can be. That is already a great improvement, she is going to be a real beauty when she is completed. Martin. ▲

Hi there CDN the clamps are just scrap pieces of oak with a hole drilled through where I use a push pin (notice board type) to push directly into the deck.
The shaft of the pin holds the plank tight against the last plank whist the oak piece holds the new plank down, the hole made by the pin is subsequently covered by the next plank ▲

Great Job with the planking, Mike๐๐
When planking the Seguin and Lobster Boat I used thin CA. I held the plank in place and hit the edge with CA. Still, it was a slow process. I needed frequent breaks. ๐ด Trev ▲

Hi Mike,
Great looking work, I like the joggling of the king plank along with the curvy aft section, quite a bit of work has gone into that, beautiful. Not sure if it is a problem at my end, but the photos are out of focus. Cheers, Stephen. ▲

I have a couple of projects with planked decks to be worked on in the future, and I really like your work. Iโm interested in the clamps you used with what I will call a โthumb buttonโ on one end. I read your description, and saw some general wording, but no specific description.
What are the โthumb buttons made of? Are they glued over the end of the clip after a pin has been driven through each end? I would find a rough sketch helpful. Looks like a great approach for curved planking. ▲

First job back in the 50's was electro plating only Anodes were in in the solution objects were suspended from external rods which completed the circuit either by wire or a jig you had to make instant connection as you attached least movement you could double plate. Everything from taps to Bumpers all were flash copper plated then either Bright Nickel which was then chromed or dull nickelled (Bumpers) which then went back to the polishing shop before chroming

I'm sure this will be up to your usual fine standard Mike,- looking forward to the finished result. Just a suggestion for the rigging,- .020 stainless fishing trace is ideal for stays, - doesn't get tangled like multi strand wire never frays and lasts forever. Most of the racing guys here use it. Just go down through a short length of copper tube, around your chain-plate/turnbuckle, back up through the tube and turn the end over. Crimp copper tube and you'll never pull it out. I ran some solder through the tubes to seal them as well.
