1899 Waverley

Hi All,

Here is a quick update of where i am with my Waverley, this is the one prior to Tug-Kenny build here. My prefered method for this boat is steam as you can see below

Pictures of the about to be started hull.




Steam engine running at 10PSI



the came the windows, like most non tug based paddlers this one has plenty of windows that needed to be cut out. here i cheated a little, the plans were copied at around 101% and then spray mounted onto the hull. this seemed easier that trying to acuratly mark them all out. the idea of 101% was to take into account of the curvature of the hull, the rear section was straight so 100% was used for the copied plans.



clamped to the bench for stability and the masking tape is to remove some of the flex in the hull


then a few hours with files etc i have one side of windows cut out.





94 windows later





this is where i am currently and should restart again soon, as i just need to finish off a tapping stand i am making.

oops i think this should have been in the build log section. please move as necessary.

Cheers Ian

I must say, that fret work on the window section is just amazing Peewee..........she really is a lovely looking vessel.

Thank you Neil, I am looking forward to getting back to her in the very near future
