Saw the plans of 'Farmont' and could not resist the challange of this model. First problem was where and how to creat a removable cabin and decided on having the whole top removable other than the forward and aft decks. I also realised that the plans were simplified so a bit of research on Google revealed pictures of the real things for sale and some indepth pics of the boats being constructed. They omitted the bow breaker for ease of modelling but short cuts are not in my vocabulary. it is also difficult to visulise where all the stair cases go, so going online helped clarify this. I opted for a plank on frame construction covering the hull with a single layer of fibreglass and using lite ply and plasticard for the cabins. The deck planking was marked out with pencil before varnishing. I also wanted the boat to be fully lit and both radars to be operational and counter rotating (looks better from a spectators point of view). Completion date sometime in 2015, watch this space!

Air Sea Rescuce Launch
HI guys I've been luckily enough to of had the chance to buy this boat at the Heywood bring and buy.
It's in 1/16 scale and is four foot long. it's a complete scratch built hull using plastic sign bord.
The hull was built by Nick Rigby from our club in Bury.
All the rest of the detail has been done by his friend.
At the Monment she has the props installed but no motors.
I will be fitting her out with a couple of 900kv brushless motors and a couple of 90amp esc's all water cooled.plus two 11.1volt 5000ma lipo's in parallel to give a long run time. Hope you like the pictures!

Still under construction but completed to deck level.
Built on an Alan Horne hull, the deckhouses are all scratch built from mahogany and brass from photographs.
The deck is planked with 100metres of 2mm x 0.5mm Lime stripwood, each plank edged using a pencil to achieve the effect of corking.

Astra
Astra was built from an original 1927 Camper and Nicholson design model, acquired from C&N by my wife's great grandfather. Passed on through the generations, she came to me in a poor state in 2013 and I have rebuilt the deck to 1931 superstructure.
Despite being an antique, she sails every week on Needham Lake.

I tried to do a response to your 8 Sept post but it did not work so have a go on this one.
Very Impressed by your detail work, almost makes me start mine again but too far in now.
I like your brass work, is it all yours or have you a supplier, if so I would be grateful if you would give details.
Also interested in your gooseneck joint between mast and main boom. I have made one and kicker from brass scrap but it has turned out a bit chunky. I have not done a yacht before, so am not sure if it can be made with main boom with only horizontal movement. I have at last made a fabricated boom but have allsorts of problems with the paint I have used.
I still have to decide how to make sails and the method of sail control so would be interested in how to do it.
I have a nice new 2.4 GHz RC kit, so interested in outcome of your recent radio problems.
Brass is mostly from Cornwall Model Boats with a few parts direct from RB (Poland) and the last remaining pulleys from Deans Marine. The 4 hand winches ate still being turned from brass stock and yet to be fitted.
The gooseneck is hand-made from brass sheet and was about the most difficult thing as I do not have access to brazing equipment. I still need to make a kick strap as this gooseneck allows too much movement.
Sails are made from a Hospital Cotton bed sheet. The mainsail is in 5 sections, each having a different curve top and bottom to attempt to get the correct billowing and twist.
I was surprised at the reception issues and haven't yet ruled out a dodgy receiver (sourced on ebay!)
I'll report back on the satellite receiver placement later in the week. We have a Night Sail on Wednesday so I can test my deck lights!
