Originally Posted by Maurice Fri Feb 13, 2004 2:54 pm Max No one's more relieved than I am that Jim knows what he's talking about. But hey you're the one doing all the work, and doing it magnificently. About that so far unidentified bit abaft the galley chimney and the focsle...

Originally Posted by Jimkrauzulis Wed Feb 11, 2004 11:03 pm Maurice, to WHAT parts page are your referring? :D I agree the spare anchor was smaller that the two bowers and perhaps the anchor parts used should be changed to reflect that. Normally the best anchor was stowed on the port...

Originally Posted by Maurice Wed Feb 11, 2004 6:01 pm Jim Thanks most interesting, I didn't now about that before. Hopefully Max can now upload scans of the first pic on the inside cover and the diagram of the focsle area. (I can't - no scanner at present - er - I mean no copy of...

Originally Posted by Jimkrauzlis Wed Feb 11, 2004 4:57 Looking great (as usual), Max! That "extra spar" is, I believe, what is called a "fish davit", used to handle the spare anchor from a position aft of the catsheads. It is removable from one side to another as needed, thus the...

Good Evening Everyone. Captains Log Tuesday, February 10, 2004 This evening I added the Forecastle Rail and the decorative strips down to about mid hull. The rails were pretty straight forward. An upper and lower part, trimmed out and glued together. The parts in the kit...

Originally Posted: Wed, Feb 11, 2004 6:23am Well Maurice, now THAT'S embarrassing! No, your OTHER STARBORD!!! hehehe! My bad OK....I have 1 Spare Spar! Should I make it round? Any other opinions? Max

Originally Posted by Maurice Wed Feb 11, 2004 6:16 am For some reason they've lashed a square spare spar (!!!) across the focsle and used it to hang a greatly oversize spare anchor. I wonder why. It's as necessary as a spare road wheel would be on the back of the transom. :D But on...

Originally Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2004 4:59 am Thanks Cadwel! and, yes, those are holes for the belay pins. I purchased 3 packs of small wooden pins, but after looking at them with the model, they are STILL too big, so, either I make my own from scratch, or, I try to modify the ones I bought...

Posted Tuesday, Feb 10, 2004 Good Morning All, Just a little update. Last night I got the three transome supports built. Nothing too unusual about them. The most difficult thing was to make sure the angles of the parts that attach to the hull sides was correct. I tried to trim them at a...
