Good morning AndyB2, thanks for your interest and comments.Unfortunately I cannot help with the hull construction as I acquired the Karoline in a half finished state at our boat club. Also the original boat was built from a billings kit and came with a pre-formed moulded hull. If I can help in any other way don’t hesitate to ask.

Lovely model, sorry to see the damage. Interesting to learn more about how you built the hull. Am currently building a similar boat and the shape of the hull has proved a “challenge” to build.

Good morning Mike. Yes I can remove the sails quite easily and the rigging and the mast, but I thought I was being smart as the boat fitted in the car complete, by just heeling over to one side. I was also carrying my tools for our ongoing clubhouse refurb. It was these that slid forward when I had to brake sharply, pushing the boat up into the roof and snapping the mast. I have now stripped the sails and rigging and glued the mast back together. I think I have been fortunate in that the break was along the grain and had a large surface area, so was easy to splice together. I am also going to wrap in places with cord, to help the join stay together. I’ve now varnished it and all that can be seen is a very fine scar line.

Hei Rogal . . .
These things happen again and again! That's why I'm working on designing a kind of adjustable frame for all my boats. . Until then it will take some time, despite all good courage to repair
Good tinkering!
BB Michel-C.
PS: Can't you remove your sails for the trips?

At the pond Wednesday. After being becalmed at the pond for the last 3 weeks I thought I would attempt to sail Karoline again. But unfortunately had a mishap driving to the pond. The consequence was a broken mast during heavy braking, so back to the work bench for a couple of days. Hopefully try again Sunday.

While waiting for the RC successes, I'll tell you in the meantime that it is very beautiful in the water.

Managed to go to the pond today to give Karoline her try out with her new sails. I was concerned because she sits quite low in the water, if a gust of wind healed her over it may have dislodged the deck hold covers, these were very loose and light.the holds would then fill quickly with water. Because of these fears i have modified the hatches too make them more water tight and a better fit. I also added a temporary lead keel to help balance the sails. So today at the pond i neednt have worried as there was no breeze at all the water was flat calm, i could only move her by motor. So my next trip will be Wednesday, i will try again
