What a beautiful model!!! Can you make a video on how to make these sails? Are the seams glued together, or stiched?

What do you seal your wood with?
@sailtails27752 ай бұрын
After assembly, I seal the wood with "clear penetrating epoxy sealer". Several epoxy companies sell this type of product .

Hello Gery, some of my friends said I should look for something to do for my upcoming retirement and the coming winter months and recommended that I build a sailing ship. Me and ships, not a good omen *ggg* So I just did some research on the internet out of curiosity and only came across your channel by chance and have watched a few of your videos so far. Unfortunately I don't really understand your language (I can't speak English) but I was so fascinated by your ships and building skills that I gave you my subscription. 2 days ago, I also ordered 2 construction plans from you "Anni and Irene". Since I first have to familiarize myself with these plans and translate a lot into German, it will be a while before I dare to tackle these projects. I have already looked at the material. I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions and issues, e.g.: bending shape - length and angle of the Pelikan pins, but there are forums for that. Keep it up, let us continue to share in your projects and I wish you good health and success with your channel. Regards Anton

Thanks, good info. FYI, lobster fishing we only put 3 tucks in our rope, never let go. I sometimes tapered to 2 then 1 strand more.
@sailtails27753 ай бұрын
Thanks for that input. I suppose the type of rope used makes a big difference. Cheers !

I have built some of these ship models years ago and it is good to see that there are people still about who can build models like this, in a world where instant “entertainment” seems to be all that is tolerated now. Well done. At one time most local parks or otero open spaces had a model boat pond and they were regularly used by model makers with all kinds of craft. Nowadays all people seem interested in is tapping on a computer keyboard.

Just wondering what weight of cotton poplin you prefer?
@sailtails27754 ай бұрын
As I understand it, cotton poplin normally weighs 110 - 130 grams per square meter. This about like a common bed sheet or pillow case. Not much variation, but choose the heavier if there is a choice to be made. Stick with "cotton poplin".

So how does one fix this? bigger ballast? smaller sail? I've never built a sail boat, but I;m getting curious... About 2/3rds done building a 1/4 size replica of a small boat the PM-38 available on Svensons, and thinking of the next boat already

I love the size of emma but prefer the design or irene. Do you think its possible to resize the 147cm plan size of irene to 100cm just like emma?
@sailtails27756 ай бұрын
This is possible, though boats perform best at their designed size. See this video from a fellow who built his 'Irene' at 80% size. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmHRhGqPdtSmedU

I love your videos! I've got a problem with the winch line set up. Where and how do you hook the sails up to the sheet?? Please help. It's driving me crazy. I got it all set up like you do but you never show how to hook up your sails to the sheets. I would be so happy if you could make avid in that. Thank you.
@sailtails27756 ай бұрын
There will be many variations of this depending on boat's arrangement and sail plan. Generally, in the case of sails fitted with booms, the sheet will attach to the boom. My schooners are set-up so the sheet has a two part advantage over the boom. This video shows how that is set-up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGqWfoqjm7yGm8k

Hello Gary, thank you for showing us such quality content and helping people like us to get into the fantastic world of boat modelling. I was wondering if you could suggest me any reliable website to buy RC sailboat electronics to start with my first project, or if it's possible to convert a normal servo into a winch by somehow make it rotate several times instead (which would save me some time and money) Again, thank you for your attention. Warmest regards Fernando (from Spain)

Tapering masts and spars is easy. Chuck one end in drill and a pointed end nail sticking out sticking out of vise or a piece of wood. Push the spar against nail and turn on drill holding with one hand. With other hand roll the sandpaper around spar and hold. You just created crude lathe. Might have taken me 30 minutes to do all mine for Emma.
