The Nordic Folkboat

Scratch build is well underway. It began with seeing one in a cradle on the shore of Lake Geneva. I wish now more photos would have been taken, but Google is a big help as are magazines.
Currently, working on the mounting and alignment of the rudder.

Working on Servo placement for Sail Control

Rudder servo and linkage works well. Next the sail servo will be installed. I was given a mast and main sail from an old Dragon Force 65 to try and I made the jib this morning.

Sails working

Servos are in, and sheets are set-up. The sails work at least on the workbench with a fan blowing lightly. Close haul and running down wind.

Next to finish decking and the cabin.

No fibreglass is available during Covid19 so came up with alternative

My wife had left over material from our daughters wedding dress. So I am using some light woven Tulle . It is stiffer than the fibreglass and does not take the 90 degree as easily, but on a flat section it may be just fine.

Ready for the pond

It snowed here today! Ice is still on the lake and pond, so it may take awhile before I can post some pictures of the launch.

Deck painted

Very pleased with the deck colour and painted surfaces. The deck is Model Master Blue FS35414 and the cabin sides n trim Model Master Acrylic Earth Red #4707 which gives a Mahogany appearance, then finished off with a clear coat on the wood surfaces.

The large sailboat in the horizontal stand is an M-12 designed for sailing in weedy ponds. It is a pleasure to sail!

The red hulled sailboat in the background is my 2018 project a Wianno Senior. My first scratch built sailboat. I learned from making it, and added improvements to the building of the Folkboat.
