Folks,
Thanks for the great information. I now have a somewhere to start.
That posting on painting and finishing is great.
I don't think this is going to be fast process but I will post updates.
One of the things I am looking for is a supplier of the fittings ie boom gooseneck, sail attachments, boom ends etc. I have not been able to find a source of these things that are period so I think I will need to make them. Hs anyone have any close up photos of period fittings.
I will post nf the vintage model yacht club and see what they come up with.
Cheers.
