I have attempted to contact the barge trust twice with no reply. I don't think they monitor there email. Shame as I was looking to purchase the John Piper and the small booklet the offer.

Thank you for the reply; at 72 I am not far behind. I have tried to contact the barge trust group with no success; is this who you refer to. If you could send a copy it would great; advise as to what I owe for postage.

After some thought; why draw a barge (just reinventing the wheel); this has already been done; most likely better and I could. Now to my request does anyone have plans for a barge that they are willing to share?
Thank you
Robert

Good Day
I am looking for the Model Boats magazine article on building Ceclia Jane Barge. Believe it is in Dec 2002 issue. Should you have a copy; can you scan and send to Bikerbob@magma.ca. I have previous articles.
Thank you for your attention

Getting close to cutting wood; but need to be enlighten as to how the fin passes thru the keel and secured. I envision something like a dagger board box. Is there any consensus on width; depth and thickness and shape of fin?

Think I will pass on traditional sail dressing; but very interesting history.

Thank you for all the information; much appreciated. Roycv has provided some food for thought I am considering (build a box and add a bow and stern). This would save some work. You mention traveling the coast to view some real barges; unfortunetly I live in Canada so air flight rules that out.

Thank you for the reply
I may have lead you astray using the term generic. I intend to make it scale in general conformation of all barges and not of a individual ship. Main reason to redraw is that the Ceclia Jane is built bread and butter and I wish to use plank on bulkhead which I have used before. Glad to hear that the weight is around 20 lbs as if verifies my calculation of 22 lbs; Ceclia drawing indicates 43 lbs which would have been a no go. I am sure I will have many questions in the future

I was able to locate a drawing of Champion Class and Giralda barge and Model Boat article on building Ceclia Jane for reference. To this end I have drawn a generic barge in AutoCad at 1:24 with the following dimensions LOA 42“ beam 11“ Draft 3“ top of bulwark sheer to underside of keel 5“. 5" dimension comes from Ceclia Jane but appears excessive when compared with the other two. Does draft sound reasonable? Can you supply a ballpark weight for a barge this size? What sails are typically under RC control? Can you supply a winch sheeting diagram; also a deck layout showing sheet exit points.

Good day all
I have been scratch building electric model boats for a number of years but wish to try my hand at sail. Recently I have developed an interest in traditional sail (in particular Thames sailing barges). As I live in Canada barges are not very popular and as a non sailor I have numerous questions. I am thinking I would like to scratch build in wood. I am a retired draftsman so would draw my own plans. Can someone recommend popular building scales; typical dimensions and weight; source of free plans if available. Your thoughts are welcome.
Thank you for your attention

Good Day Colin
I am in the middle of constructing the Smit Rusland tug and looking to make fenders; could I obtain copies of the patterns you mentioned. Please PM me.
