    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. πŸ˜‰

    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!!
