Great looking ship in bottles, I remember about 30 yrs ago or so I had some friends at the south street seaport museum in new York city that's all they did I learned a lot form them regarding ships in bottles! you have a great collection.

Named after my wife Sheila, the yacht was purchased from the builder, as I don't do yachts, but thought I had better have one for those windy days when scale models become tricky. She behaves well, (as does the wife). Only Radio control on the rudder; the sails are set depending on the wind strength.

As promised, close-ups of the hatch seal. The rim attached to the deck is 0.5mm mahogany. The inner skin of the drop cockpit is two strips of 0.5mm mahogany glued together. The outer skin and cabiln are made from 1.5mm mahogany. The curve was formed by plank bending soaked mahogany strip. The channel is filled with Vaseline to ensure a waterproof seal.

Maiden voyage.
One or two little issues. Kept losing radio reception even at close range. Need to fit the satellite receiver in the nav cabin methinks.

Thanks, Dave.
It's 2.4Ghz and a new servo.
The receiver is velcro'd to the underside of the deck.
I'll place the satellite in the roof of the nav cabin and see how it goes!

HI Neil
More than likely your aerial is below the waterline for some time and I know from personal experience that this will cause loss of signal. Mine was in a Trent Lifeboat and still gave problems until I arranged for the receiver to be well above the waterline with the aerials pointing up.

I tried to do a response to your 8 Sept post but it did not work so have a go on this one.
Very Impressed by your detail work, almost makes me start mine again but too far in now.
I like your brass work, is it all yours or have you a supplier, if so I would be grateful if you would give details.
Also interested in your gooseneck joint between mast and main boom. I have made one and kicker from brass scrap but it has turned out a bit chunky. I have not done a yacht before, so am not sure if it can be made with main boom with only horizontal movement. I have at last made a fabricated boom but have allsorts of problems with the paint I have used.
I still have to decide how to make sails and the method of sail control so would be interested in how to do it.
I have a nice new 2.4 GHz RC kit, so interested in outcome of your recent radio problems.

HI Nasraf,
Brass is mostly from Cornwall Model Boats with a few parts direct from RB (Poland) and the last remaining pulleys from Deans Marine. The 4 hand winches ate still being turned from brass stock and yet to be fitted.
The gooseneck is hand-made from brass sheet and was about the most difficult thing as I do not have access to brazing equipment. I still need to make a kick strap as this gooseneck allows too much movement.
Sails are made from a Hospital Cotton bed sheet. The mainsail is in 5 sections, each having a different curve top and bottom to attempt to get the correct billowing and twist.
I was surprised at the reception issues and haven't yet ruled out a dodgy receiver (sourced on ebay!)
I'll report back on the satellite receiver placement later in the week. We have a Night Sail on Wednesday so I can test my deck lights!

Saw the plans of 'Farmont' and could not resist the challange of this model. First problem was where and how to creat a removable cabin and decided on having the whole top removable other than the forward and aft decks. I also realised that the plans were simplified so a bit of research on Google revealed pictures of the real things for sale and some indepth pics of the boats being constructed. They omitted the bow breaker for ease of modelling but short cuts are not in my vocabulary. it is also difficult to visulise where all the stair cases go, so going online helped clarify this. I opted for a plank on frame construction covering the hull with a single layer of fibreglass and using lite ply and plasticard for the cabins. The deck planking was marked out with pencil before varnishing. I also wanted the boat to be fully lit and both radars to be operational and counter rotating (looks better from a spectators point of view). Completion date sometime in 2015, watch this space!

It's a shame there are no drawings for this boat

HI guys I've been luckily enough to of had the chance to buy this boat at the Heywood bring and buy.
It's in 1/16 scale and is four foot long. it's a complete scratch built hull using plastic sign bord.
The hull was built by Nick Rigby from our club in Bury.
All the rest of the detail has been done by his friend.
At the Monment she has the props installed but no motors.
I will be fitting her out with a couple of 900kv brushless motors and a couple of 90amp esc's all water cooled.plus two 11.1volt 5000ma lipo's in parallel to give a long run time. Hope you like the pictures!

Still under construction but completed to deck level.
Built on an Alan Horne hull, the deckhouses are all scratch built from mahogany and brass from photographs.
The deck is planked with 100metres of 2mm x 0.5mm Lime stripwood, each plank edged using a pencil to achieve the effect of corking.
