.Hello Graham,
I'm interested that you are building a Jolie Brise model. I've got a model (very) slowly taking shape - a winter project that I started many years ago. One objective was to learn how to build a planked hull. I found the counter stern the most difficult to build. She is to be an RC working model; like you under water won't stick to original - there will be a deep ballasted lift-able fin keel to improve stability.
Currently I'm working on steering - taking ages to get rudder moving easily. Then intend to start on RC which I've never done before.
The pictures you posted of Tallulah will be a big help to me for deck layout.
I plan initially have just main & a self-tacking foresail sharing one winch. Will be nice to add bowsprit & jib but can't envisage sheet control!
I got the plans from the Jolie Brise book which I photo copied for 1/20 scale.
Rgds.....Clive

Hello John, Please may I share any info you get for your R/C query?
I'm building a model of pilot cutter Jolie Brise & seem to be at about the same stage as yourself . At present my thought is to put all the electrics in a purpose built polcarb box; a problem will be glands for rods/cords - would passing the rod/cord through a pin hole in a 'window' of thick rubber (car tyre inner tube?) do the job?
Look forward to ideas from those who have done it! I'm trying to make everything (except things like servos) from basic materials - which I think I've managed so far.
Regards....Clive
