Small Cruising Sailboats: Jack Holt's Rambler cruising dinghy
http://smallcruisingsailboats.blogspot.com/2014/10/jack-holts-rambler-cruising-dinghy.html
Saturday, 25 October 2014. Jack Holt's Rambler cruising dinghy. Although I really like the Fulmar design of Iain Oughtred (see previous posts and my experiments with a cruising model of this design) I have become interested in a 1954 design of Jack Holt called the Rambler. It's 17ft - ideal for my building space and double chime plank on frame (much easier building for me on my own than lapstrake). I now have plans for Rambler and here's a pic of the sailplan.

Small Cruising Sailboats: Keelson on - Stems Glued - Tent up
http://smallcruisingsailboats.blogspot.com/2014/10/keelson-on-stems-glued-tent-up.html
Sunday, 19 October 2014. Keelson on - Stems Glued - Tent up. The keelson was cut some weeks ago but before fitting it I champhered the internal edge with a small brass spokeshave (I'll post a pic of this later). Then I sanded the three internal faces. This is all much easier to do now before the hull is built. Here's a pic of clamping the keelson on the jig and checking for straight. Then I got to work sanding the faces of the Stems for similar reasons and planing the glue faces. I am a semi-retired actu...

Small Cruising Sailboats: April 2013
http://smallcruisingsailboats.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 April 2013. Thursday, 18 April 2013. Model - Plank Patterns and Stern Extension. For the template patterns I am using 1mm Finish beech 'aircraft' plywood. It's a bit expensive but I had some left over just enough to do do a full set of templates. It's light to handle and can be cut with a knife. It's good to mark each plank as you go for plank name, station positions and orientation. Monday, 15 April 2013. Model - Ribands On. I decided to rebate the moulds to fit ribands to the markings for pl...

Small Cruising Sailboats: March 2013
http://smallcruisingsailboats.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 March 2013. Building a 1/5th Model with DelftShip. Here's a screen shot from DelfShip hull profile of Skye Maid:. I purchased a full licence for DelfShip which gives the capability to print our plank patterns - another time saver. Begin with the end in mind say motivational experts! There's nothing like looking at drawings of the finished boat to strir the body into boat building action. Above is a pic of Kees Prins drawing. Lenght Overall (LOA) excluding bow sprit - 16ft 9inches - 5.10m.

Small Cruising Sailboats: Stems shaped - Roughly!
http://smallcruisingsailboats.blogspot.com/2014/11/stems-shaped-roughly.html
Saturday, 1 November 2014. Stems shaped - Roughly! I first used some spraky feeding battens to give me a line on the plank edge lands on the stem and punched a mark on the centre line of the stem so I don't lose sight of this through the stem shaping process. And here;s the stems from front and side after teh rough shaping with the electric plane. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Stems shaped - Roughly! View my complete profile.

Small Cruising Sailboats: June 2013
http://smallcruisingsailboats.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 20 June 2013. Model - Turnover celebrations. You will see in the top right I have managed to save the building jig without any damage so another model like this could be done by me or anyone else interested in the exercise. Sunday, 16 June 2013. Model - Planking Lessons. This pic is rather overexposed but it's starting to look like a hull with dry fit of the fifth plank added. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Small Cruising Sailboats: April 2015
http://smallcruisingsailboats.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 15 April 2015. Variable Width Planking Bench. The hinges on the rudders are open ended so I can remove them from the bench when not doing planking work. So I am finally getting around to cutting planks for the Charlotte canoe. I will make patterns for the 6 planks required first. Here I am marking up the riband edge for the garboard plank pattern.

Small Cruising Sailboats: Long Winding Bevels
http://smallcruisingsailboats.blogspot.com/2014/10/long-winding-bevels.html
Saturday, 25 October 2014. A full day on the canoe today to start beveling keelson and stems. About half the day was spent making the screw in batten to go into my low angle plane. I needed to make a jig to hold a sliding chuck device which gave me exact perpendicular drilling capability. So by the end of the day I have one side beveled pretty close to the required winding bevel - being careful to not cut into the centreline. Still lots more to do on the stems.
