A proper yacht, if only all sailing boats were so elegant.

Lovely boats, I spend 1985 as a paid hand on Velsheda, K7. Wonderful, but slightly terrifying boat to sail. Love the interest in the Js, building a a scale one is on the long term project list.

Ron, I will not go into too much detail on Jim. He is retired, in his early 70's, and has building models since before I met him about 12 years ago. He doesn't bother with computers too much but enjoys his Canon digital cameras.
The story of building the model of the "Whaleback" seems to stem from where is lived many years ago up in the great lakes area of the U.S. Jim is a laid-back person and deeply interested in building his models. Most of them are 1/48 scale, but in recent years he took a turn and started going after some complicated kits, some out of production for many years, like Sterling kits he found on Ebay. Other recent builds include some WWII battleships, plastic models that are motorized for RC. One unique thing about Jim is all (I believe) of his models involve gear reduction between the motor(s) and shaft(s). He hand makes small parts where many people will avoid the small details. Here is a video of one of his other models, the City Of Buffalo: ![]() ▲

I can never do that do that. How do you trim the balsa and then rub it down to shape. I have picked up a 48" Perkasa Hull from a Boot Fair and the Balsa nose end blocks are a total mess. I have got to try to put them right. I think they are the sort of mess I would make.In the past the thing I usually do is recut a new hull base and side skins in ply and extend them and not use a balsa block. I am not too sure how I would get around the bow end on this hull with ply but I would give it a good try but but wether it would have the correct shape or not is another thing.

I think a 360-web cam around this particular platform would be great. We are right on the edge of the shipping lanes. Could be like those train guys, cough cough, uh I wouldn't know anything about that.
