I think the answer would have been better if AND UPRIGHT had been left out or changed to TO FACILITATE UPRIGHTING

Thank you Lew
I was wondering what the balance was between sail and boiler. So, sails were more for an emergency, used when the boilers couldn't function?

Question:
Actually two, does this model have a separate motor driven propeller, and was the motor operating during the video?
A question more directed to LewZ and his knowledge of the history of this vessel.
If this was a gunboat, would the sails have been used for cruising and patrolling, and the engine engaged for pursuit if contact was made with an enemy vessel?
Alessandro, if this is the case, maybe use MORNING for the start of the 'patrol' and HEIMKEHR for 'engine pursuit mode' The two pieces of music are very different
Since the boats were built on the Clyde, could you use the SKYE BOAT SONG? (I'll go back to my room now. . . )

maybe try:
HYMN TO THE SEA by James Horner.There is a nice version with just the tin whistle by Leyna Robinson-Stone
MORNING from PEER GYNT SUITE by Edvard Grieg
I would have to agree William Tell Overture is a little high energy for a cruiser sailboat
If you want to play up the gunboat and steam engine idea a little stronger, HEIMKEHR from DAS BOOT by Karl Doldinger

100 MM3
I think you are both right, almost.
The problem is nomencature and translation
Is 100 mm3. ONE HUNDRED MILLIMETERS CUBED (exponential power 3) ie 100 millimeters x 100 millimeters x 100 millimeters (100 mm)^3 which is 1,000,000 cubic millimeters
or
ONE HUNDRED CUBIC MILLIMETERS 100 (mm^3). They don't mean the same thing. Which do you mean to be cubed?
the 100
or
the millimeters
My usual expression of the volume of 1 kilo of water is 1000 cc

Given the size of the rudder on the little RG65, that is definitely under consideration. Bluenose is about 8 times the size of the RG's, but the scale rudder is only twice as big

ok What we have here is a failure to communicate.
Enough silliness
This is the hull of Bluenose. It is going to require a 71 cm fin length and 6.7 kilograms of bulb ballast to balance the weight and pressure on the sails. That black line is 12mm steel threaded tube. it passes through the bottom of the keel to be supported and braced on the inside. The hydrofoil will be formed around the black tube which will have the ballast bulb bolted to the end of the tube

Be honest with me, is the mast in the right ways? The instructions said to insert tube into hole in keel. (the main spar of the ballast fin)

Neither torx nor cross head, I will often look for hex head screws (and hex wrenches) because they grip better in small spaces. i keep two sets of hex wrenches

Alessandro,
In scratch build the first tool I would require is #8 on your machine tool list, the PC.
Not for the reason that you might use it, 2D & 3D drawing. I haven't advanced to the stage where I can do my own drawings, yet.
I live in a small community where the supplies I need are not available. As most of you may agree, the internet has opened up the world's supply chains so that you may find EXACTLY what you need. Also with the internet, I would not have been able to progress as far as I have without the encouragement and knowledge of those of you that have gone before me. I have been around the world without leaving my home.
As I said, I am not of the ability yet to use the drawing programmes. What I do use is EXCEL. I have used EXCEL for years, for costing and pricing, so I am very familiar with it. For computing CENTRE OF EFFORT, LATERAL CENTRE OF PRESSURE, CENTRE OF BOUYANCY, CENTRE OF GRAVITY, it is very convenient. I did this series of calculations decades ago with a slide rule. It was fun then.
Also with the PC is the SCANNER. To reach across to the BUILDING FROM PLANS thread, the plans that I received in the mail were for a vessel half the size of what I wanted to build. It was a simple process to double the size of the plans. If the pattern was damaged or destroyed in the construction phase, I could simply print out a new copy of the pattern. The original copy of the plans never had to be near the construction phase. With disposible patterns I could simply tape them on the wood and cut away.
Alessandro, the list you provided would also be my ultimate list, after the PC.

1.6MM copper house wire can be pushed through 9MM of pine, if the end is sharpened to a point.
a hobby hand grinder can be used to flatten the ends, like a rivet. It heats up the wood and doesn't have much holding strength

SLIGHTLY CRAZY IDEA
2 pins required per joint
send a pin through from the outside, trim to size
send SECOND shortened pin from inside right beside first pin
2 heads are better than one
On mine it was simpler. Inside is not open to view. I modified a set of pliers to hold a pin steady. Pushed it in until it came through the inside frame. Pulled it tight from the inside
In yours, push a shortened, second pin from inside, right beside first pin
What diameter head and shaft do you need?
If you are working the rivet close to the edge of the plank, for clinker-built construction, are you concerned about splitting the plank? My planks were 3mm by 10mm and the 0.9 mm nail was in the centre of the 10mm at 5 mm

Brass pins and polish (sand after install) the finish off the head.
I used about 900 stainless steel pins in the BLUENOSE hull. It's a lot of work
pin head diameter: 2.1 mm
pin shaft diameter: 0.9 mm
