Thanks Bob! A couple more bits done 1st a couple of pot floats. as its a leisure fishermans boat only a couple instead of the host that normally adorn the foredeck

and finally the proper Brass prop has arrived

Should move a fraction faster now it has a 55mm brass prop instead of a 50mm plastic

When you`ve got nowt to do………How about fitting the Becker rudder feature…….It`ll add a bit of interest when sailing again, you`ll be impressed, how tight the turns can be achieved!

The above rudder is on my Great Eastern….Great fun

 

Just a suggestion……….Bob

[Phil Winks 1Participant @philwinks1]

Nice idea Bob actually I am considering it for the noggsund as steering is a bit of an issue with that one where as the HL24 (lady sarah) turns in her own length as it is prob because of the nearly balanced rudder. any tighter turn circle and she will vanish up her proverbial

[Phil Winks 1Participant @philwinks1]

Just a little more detail emergng on the deck

the pot and floats are pretty much fully functionall just need some tiny crabs to catch lol

[Phil Winks 1Participant @philwinks1]

Oh nearly forgot the “samson posts” now I’m particularly pleased with these. Remember I don’t have a lathe or pillar drill so I often have to cheat. bearing that in mind what do you think I found to press into use for these???

That looks suspiciously like a brass radiator key……………………

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Wind ups from the back of an alarm clock?

Dave 1 Bob 0 sorry Bob but someone had to get it a bit wrong well done Dave purely by accident I placed my rad bleed key on the boat while I sorted another tool out and it struck me how similar it looked to the intended design so at 70p each I thought why not

 

A quick before and after pic

[Phil Winks 1Participant @philwinks1]

If Like bob you’ve had a look at my photo album of this craft you could be forgiven for thinking she is finished. However there is still a fair bit of detailing to do, upgrades mostly I want to change the rear deck hatch from a solid screwed down affair to a double hinged lid, to make access to the rx and steering servo easier. still a couple of crab pots to finish, and more fishing rods, a landing net, boat hook etc etc. one other item is a working winch to haul those crab pots onboard. Ive found the right motors and esc’s and can achieve it all on 2 channels. this pic is the design useing 2 of Dave Milbourne’s M3G motors & gearboxes one runs two drums for the jib lifting/haul rope because the jib is lifted via 1:3 reduction pulley I can lift it 7″ at the tip and with the same revolutions of the 2 drums on a common shaft the haul rope can be 21″ long from the potblock. My only stumbling block at the min is the winch drums as I have no lathe on wich to turn them

Given that the sizes are critical or A, they wont fit in available space & B, the combined lift/haul idea will not work as planned so who’s got any Idea’s the shaft they go on is 4mm and can be threaded.

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Hello Phil

 

What size are the drums…….I `ll make them for you…..No charge, matey

 

Can`t read your drawing….too fuzzy……PM me with the info

 

Bob

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Waiting for you, Phil

 

If we make them out of wood……..What hole would you like?

 

Bob

[Phil Winks 1Participant @philwinks1]

Smashing Bob 3.2 mm/1/8″ would be good then hopefully I can get a 4mm tap through them there won’t be any serious strain on them so it should work fine. You really don’t hang about do you   

[Phil Winks 1Participant @philwinks1]

Hi Bob a thought has just occured to me and exscuse me if this is teaching you to suck eggs so to speak. You said that the drawing was to fuzzy, when it is fine on my screen, so are you clicking on the picture to enlarge it ? Maybe you are and its a computer hardware thing, it’s just that I take little for granted! you know what happens when one assume’s something generally one makes an “ASS of U and ME” lol.

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Hello Phil

 

Silly me!……..Never thought of clicking on the picture……It`s OK now

 

Bob

[Phil Winks 1Participant @philwinks1]

 to be honest Bob I only found out that by accident

Got a bit of a news scoop now lady penelope has been spotted aboard a fishing boat in the chesepeake bay apparently enjoying a days fishing

 

Just Have a look

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Very nice, Phil

 

I see you`ve painted the drums too………You might need to remove the little pips at the side……..Couldn`t do it on the lathe

 

Your model looks very busy!……………..Bob

[Phil Winks 1Participant @philwinks1]

Thanks for that Bob I’ve decided I’ll leave them on as I’m going to epoxy them to the shaft and with that raised bit to the inside it’ll look just about right. so just for the sake of it some more pics

[Phil Winks 1Participant @philwinks1]

I have to admit making suitable clothing for her was a very steep learning curve luckily she came with suitable deck shoes as I don’t think I’d be up to making shoes that size lol

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Nice pictures, Phil

 

Just had another good idea!….(well, not always)……..Fit a working sail to your craft!

 

It will add a bit of novelty and variance on the water?

 

Good, eh?,,,,,,,,Bob

[Phil Winks 1Participant @philwinks1]

I had thought about that Bob but she only draws 3″ or less and apart from running with the wind I feel one would simply create handling problems plus as the yardarm is rigged for lifting the installation of a sail would be problematic. Still a nice idea and one I’ll prob use on a later boat.

 

Phil

 

Edit: One idea I’m working on is another crew member stood alongside the centre seat who turns as the crab pot comes on board following it. plenty of room under the deck for a servo.!!!!!!!!

[Phil Winks 1Participant @philwinks1]

This is another Idea I’ve been chewing over. A cover for the boat when not in use that can double as a dodger in bad weather. (yes we occaisionally get  bad weather in the south west lol) This is a prototype I’ve knocked up (I know it looks like an old raf blanket) forward of the mast I plan another section with clear panels and a further sect aft to cover the cockpit area when moored.

So what do you all think is it an idea worth taking further I’m still a little unsure

 

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Phil

 

It would be a good idea if you had something to conceal……..But in your case……You ain`t

 

So I vote this one a……..Raspberry!

 

But it does look interesting!……..Bob
