Mr."B"
Dragon Force sailboat
Geneva
Nordic Folkboat design seen on the shores of Lake Geneva. Scratch built with my own plans
Corinna Mae
Scratch built small tugboat seen in Mahone Bay,Nova Scotia, which has a chine steel sheet hull. Overall length was 48β width 12β, single screw, crew of two.
The original tugboat was named Enmore, built in 1959, on the shores of Lake Ontario, by Belmar Welding Company Ltd. It was destined to be a public works tug in Charlotte Town, PEI. Her current name is Miss Katherine, but I may name my model after my daughter, Corinna Mae.
(Working Vessel) Progress J-502
Billing Boats kit, Progress J-502 vacuum formed hull, deck and cabin. Wheel house is very thin wood 2 ply. The kit was missing styrene strips, but the deck fittings were included. All brass rods, mahogany strips, rigging was in the kit.
Added furniture in wheelhouse, navigation lights, windows, and railings and other details not found in the kit. Fun little boat to make and research. (7/10)
(Working Vessel) Villa Class Tugboat
3/4β=1β Began building September 2020 finished till the spring when ballast testing and weights will be added.
(Yacht) Catharine
Uses 4 AA batteries to power the Spektrum Receiver and two servos. Mast is 22β Boom 20β Sail material is from Doyle Sailmakers inc.
2.2oz Fibrermax nylon from Challenge Sailcloth
Draft is 3β Bean 8β (9/10)
(Working Vessel) Skiff
An East Coast Nova Scotia inspired skiff design. I put a small outboard motor on the stern (5/10)
(Working Vessel) My Timmy 2
Dumas kit - Jolly Jay - Built by Don Sutton, Metro Modellers of Toronto, Ontario, Canada π¨π¦. Very sea worthy vessel, the tall bow takes waves on the lake very nicely. This boat is a steady sailing model which is why Don recommended it to me for teaching the grandsons to enjoy using it. Though boys still want grandpa to build a βfastβ boat...maybe next year! (Motor: Graupner 400) (8/10)
(Yacht) Midwest Cranberry Isle
Recently purchased this boat built by Don Sutton, Scale Captain, Metro Modellers Toronto, Canada π¨π¦. Don built the boat about 15 years ago, but to make room for a larger new model he is selling older models. This style of Yacht has long been a favorite of mine which will be my winter scratch build project. Having this working model in my workshop will assist me with the project. (10/10)
(Other) M12
More to come with photos out of the water. Uses One Meter Soling Rig and Sails. Design of hull/rudder/keel is to sail in the weeds. (5/10)
(Tug Boat) Michael
I use two 2400 Wolf Pack battery sets one one each side of the hull to add ballast plus, B-B shot is glued in the hull for weight too.
My grandson helped to build and paint it thus the vessel named Michael
The boat was too fast with a direct drive so it was replaced with a 3:1 geared reduction. Runs much better more scale speed. The first motor made it look like a speed boat, which was dangerous if my grandson were to sail it. (8/10)
Yup, the printed deck, (which I know many of you would not use), but, instead casting it aside, it was cut in half. Planed the edges with a small block plane, and fit the two pieces to the hull. A strip of mahogany will be added to the centre and all should be just fine.
Interesting, the Union Jack π¬π§ is the national flag correct? That design is then applied to various other Ensigns depending upon the person, organization, group. The Ontario flag also has the Union Jack in the upper corner.
Doug, You never said anything before about my drawings being too big to download. You are not using a Autodesk product, correct? Maybe I could put it on a memory stick or such and mail it to you? Or I could try saving in a zipped file or PDF.
Interesting that you do not notch the frames to fit the notch in the keel. I always notch me frames to fit over the keel. Or 50/50 notch keel and notch frame.
I know about them, seen in the hobby store. Just never used. Are they a stiff rod? Do they come with a connector which attaches to the control horn at both ends?
Check it out, I get this in my email every week and enjoy reading some of the articles or just looking at the photos. It might help you tug builders with details too.
For travellers arriving to Canada by land, as of February 15, 2021, all travellers, with some exceptions, will be required to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 molecular test result taken in the United States within 72 hours of pre-arrival, or a positive test taken 14 to 90 days prior to arrival. In addition, as of February 22, 2021, travellers entering Canada at the land border will be required to take a COVID-19 molecular test on arrival as well as toward the end of their 14-day quarantine.
Here is what I have, a rudder post that comes up through the hull at an unusual angle. I have seen that some people use elaborate pulleys and cables. But, there must be another solution?
In the reading I did about this species of wood, it said, even when working with older old, once it is cut the pitch is still there and it will bung up your cutting blade and woodworking tools.
I went on a Google search for working with Pitch Pine. Yes, it was used in the boatbuilding years ago, because of the pitch sap that is in the natural wood. Read on: https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/working-with-pitch-pine...
I would not wish to work with it and be continually cleaning my saw, plane, etc. There are far better species to use in your model building.
David, most of us do not plank the hull with one piece the full length of the hull. We make a joint over the rib. Sometime, doubling up with a βbacking boardβ to strengthen the joints.
Any model build over 36β will require either butt joints or angular 30-60deg joints.
Maybe some of the other members on here, can post pictures of this process too.
Impressive work! The clarity of the wood grain, the mullions around inside of the windows, the panels in the doors, hinged and sliders. Quality detail workmanship Tim.
