"use the bathtub improperly"
Not at all Alessandro. Amongst us 'boaties' the bathtub is properly known as 'The Domestic Test Tank Facility'.😁 Cheers, Doug 😎 ▲

"My second boat, scratch build to my own design"
complimenti, ottimo lavoro, ma vedo che anche tu usi la vasca da bagno impropriamente, ahahahahah. "My second boat, scratch build to my own design" congratulations, excellent work, but I see that you also use the bathtub improperly, ahahahahah. ▲

Thank you for your support flaxbybuck. I really appreciate it.
The ballast is only 7kg or maybe less and yes it's lead. I had som much "fun" pouring it... Took me a whole day. Almost ▲

What a beautiful boat you have made Andy. I love the detail of the superstructure pieces and then standard of finish. Super ! Whilst we can see lead (?) in the bottom of the hull, is the keel made of lead, and what overall weight of ballast have you needed ? For a yacht of these dimensions I imagine it must be 15 - 20 lbs. 😉

Yes I did browse the net for inspirations. I could conclude that practicality plays a huge role in a overall look and detailing.
Unfortunately the hull was made by a friend, I must confess. ▲

Hi Andy,
I agree with Herman and indeed your gaff-rig cutter follows my own favourite way of making model sailing boats. A fibreglass hull gets you off to a flying start, saves countless hours - and very possibly lots of hassle - from a plank on frame hull. Additionally, you have the real satisfaction of designing your own beautiful sailing creation, - very possibly by borrowing some of the features of other full size of Model craft. Well Done!! Dr John F. Leeds and Bradford MBC 👍👍👍 ▲
