eh ae Fs 2 The FulMaar Designed by A. J. Harwood plywood from a local wood merchant and am quite surprised at how good a result | achieved. In all the timber for the hull cost under five pounds, all the hull being of plywood. Having decided whether or not to use a false keel, select the wood for the keel assembly with care and ensuring it is free from warp. This assembly is cut out leaving a little spare at the top of the stem andstern Part One AVING spent most of my childhood and teens in a coastal town in South-West England | suppose | have always felt some affinity for ships. In particular | was, and still am fascinated by the hulks of a few derelict wooden sailing coasters on the banks of the Exe at Topsham, whose remains can be seen to this day. After reading a lot of the literature on this type of vessel, in particular about the ketches and schooners, and an introduction to ship modelling through the Billings Lilla Dan and Bluenose kits, the urge gradually developed to try and builda sailing model from scratch. As a first attempt the objective was not to produce a detailed scale working model but something which looked right and sailed well. This then is an account of the con- struction of the Ju/ia May, ‘warts and all’, given in the hope that it may encourage others to follow suit. | do not claim it is a superb model — only that | achieved what | set out to do, found out that it was nowhere near as difficult as | had anticipated, and above all gave me a lot of fun and satisfaction. What else is a hobby about? together with M.A.P. publications proved invaluable. The decision was taken to use ‘bread and butter’ construction on waterlines and a full-size plan of the hull was then drawn up. It cannot be over emphasised how useful an exercise this is, enabling many snags to be foreseen. A hull 23 inches long at the waterline was finally chosen, the design being a combination arrived at by scaling drawings of a number of full-sized ships. From the outset it was decided to have a detachable false keel for sailing in order that the model could be displayed decoratively when out of the water; this however is an signing it entailed. Many books were studied before a final method of construction was decided upon. Fortunately, ! came upon some of the works of E. W. Hobbs in secondhand bookshops, which 84 stern posts uncut. The centre line on each section is carefully marked on both top and bottom and then the outline of 5 marked on the bottom of 6, 40n 5andsoon. The inside of each section is then removed to leave a hull thickness of about 8mm (5,in), the fore and aft extent of this hollowing being to lines A and | as shown on the sheer plan. Sections 2 to 6 can then be glued together using waterproof glue such as Resin W and clamped until dry. In my model | also drilled and dowelled these sections using %4in dowels positioned each side of the stem and stern posts. When finally dry the notches for the stem and stern post option left open for the individual. Similarly it was decided to make all masts, sails and portions of the keel assembly are cut using a tenon saw and |,in chisel. This operation is not too difficult, but needs care. Make bined keel-stem-sternpost assembly to which are attached seven waterline sections. The seventh of these is in two layers of which the uppermost forms a frame on which the deck is laid and to which the bulwarks and transom are attached. The result is a pleasing looking hull with a sloping stem, a square counter and an amount of tumble home on the sides. do not fit it at this point. Now | come toa stage which overcomes a weak point in the original design, the keel bowsprit removeable for ease of transport. Essentially the hull consists of a com- The Design Stage One of the aspects of the project | found rather enjoyable was the armchair de- post which can be removed later. Next, sections 2 to 6 are cut out, these sections being of the full width of the vessel, and worked to the outside shape witha plane or Surform, leaving the notch for the stem and Beginning the Hull Before | actually describe the construc- tion, a word about materials. Have you tried to buy jin yellow pine recently, or even knot free pine? | have and was singularly unsuccessful. To cut a long story short | ended up using off-cuts of ‘outside quality’ sure the keel assembly is a nice tight fit, but reinforcement. This was originally ommitted with the result that the joint between the keel and section 1, the gar- board pieces, worked loose and leaked. A complete cure was effected by fitting the re-inforcement, albeit at the expense of having to remove and refit the deck! It is suggested therefore that the reinforcement piece be trimmed at this stage to fit into the recess in Section 2 and then glued and screwed to the keel which is temporarily fitted into the slot in the main hull assembly. The tops of the stem and stern posts can then be trimmed by chisel to be flush with the top Section 6.

The two championships require entry in the normal way, i.e. through club secretaries to the M.Y.A. Racing Secretary. Entries for the Mode/ Maker Trophy (for vane Ms) should go direct to the club; there is no entry fee for this event. In the case of Fleetwood, it seems probable that entries can go direct to the regatta secretary (A. Yard, Silverstone, Stoneygate Lane, Ribchester, Preston, Lancs.

It appears that the Fleetwood club is pulling out the stops for the Jubilee Regatta, with a packed programme including social events each evening and probably, as they have done on previous occasions, some activities for skippers’ families on some.of the days.
