While waiting for some bits I've been playing around with an idea.
I have long been fascinated with the different hull design/sailing rigs that have developed around our coast. So to illustrate this I've set out to build a couple of boats separated by 6/7 miles as the crow flies. The idea is to build a half mould hull and section of each in 1/72 to illustrate this. The first section of ' Ebenezer ' SS340 a St Ives Mackerel Driver built in 1869, is 30mm (1 1/4") wide.
This shows the plan I will be building on
Laying up the pieces that make the frame
Deck beam and hold floor plus started planking the hull
Nearly finished planking hull
