Hi Elsrickle, Nice choice of boat, have built the Caldercraft Sir Kay, which I believe is the same hull as the Milford Star. Be careful of moving the motor forward, I believe the short prop tube is so the motor can make more room for batteries, Caldercraft are pretty good on their instructions.๐
Cheers, Peter (Rooky) ▲

Yep, it's an optical delusion Peter.
Magnify the pic (Right mouse key --> View Image --> +) and it looks OK ๐ ๐ ▲

Hi Elsrickle, In photo 1, it looks as if the front cross beam is pulling in the bulwarks, or is it a optical delusion?๐

I have done the same in the past, I have skipped sections and done some of the detail work just to keep me from getting bogged down with the same old same old feeling.
The only problem is keeping track of what you have or have not done, or maybe it's just me.LOL!! Martin555. ▲

Very nice indeed.
It's the detail work that people see is the most time consuming and rewarding part of the build. You are doing a fantastic job keep it up. Martin555. ▲

Photo sorting would be really helpful. This sorting that happens now seems to pick the most boring picture as the post header.

Excellent Elsrickle,๐๐๐
By far the simplest solution I have seen yet, but elegant and very effective. Well done and many thanks for sharing. Gonna try this on my destroyer. Got a few of those little geared motors kicking about. Same principle could also be used for the depth charge cranes and boat davits๐ Cheers, Doug ๐ ▲

Havenโt tried anything like that. But need to watch it might also slip when lifting the anchor if it has to pull through weed or anything while raising the anchor. I watch as it comes up as with the speed controller you can creep the anchor as soon as itโs in sight.

Brilliant system. I was wondering if you could fit a round magnet the diam of the drum, and set it up to act as a safety 'clutch' to slip if you went past the stopping point (if it doesn't work like that now), to avoid putting strain on/stalling the motor etc ? Pic is just to show type I mean.

Definitely the best free fall Anchor winch system i have seen.
Excellent work. Is it possible to give a more in-depth article of the making and operating system ? Martin555. ▲
