Good day,
It's been a while since my first introduction to the group. I have been busy with a lot of summer chores and camping.
The rudder is made of brass covered with wood. the end top part of the shaft has a ring to prevent the rudder to be lifted. The rudder is inserted in a rectangular hole, down to the botom position in a small hole that serve as a pivot point. The rectangular plate with a triangle hinge is placed onto the rudder shaft and the ring prevents the rudder to be raised. At the end of the the triangular hinge is attached a security chain that is also attached to the rudder is case it comes out of the pilot hole. The rudder and the assembly is complete. A lot of sanding is to be done.
The mast (2) are made of 19/32 brass tube. The cupling are made of aluminium and they swivel on all directions. Some parts are made on a CNC machine by my brother Gilles which was a machinist.
The hull has been painted and some rub rail added and more to come. I am used to paint with a 4" bristle. Making all the paint detailed will be a challenge.
Have a nice day.
Is there a way to upload the pictures in the right order.

What an interesting history your boat has. I'll google her to find out her full story. I would suggest that your model is paying a full tribute to a very worthy vessel.

Mine too Yves🤔 The last thing we want to do is to suddenly turn our ships into 'flying boats'.
Esp. as I don't have a flying license 😁😮
Excellent work so far, looking forward to the next instalment.
I seem to remember another member looking for info on this vessel a while back.
That's when I first discovered her NW Passage history.
Intriguing subject, Bon chance mon ami👍
Cheers, Doug 😎
