Acerca de este barco

I built my Bella many years ago, first sailing boat build. Having built an Aeronaut Diva I was impressed with the kit price and the build method and materials.
Saffron as she is named was a joy to build, lovely to look at and an absolute joy to sail. She is quick manoeuvrable and being light easily transportable.
For a novice sailor particularly a great first sailing boat build.

    Very much like my Starlet that I built from plans around 50 years ago and sadly no longer have. I gave it away to one of my son's friends when we were downsizing in 1992.☹️

    Hello JohnF
    You are several steps ahead of me, I have considered modifying her to a Gaff rig. Roycv who posts on here often has a beautiful Bella that he converted to gaff rig some years ago.
    When I get around to it my next boat to gain entry to my harbour will be a beautiful plank on frame 1mtr Nimbus which I built a couple of years ago. I love this particular yacht which lives in my bedroom as it is too big to go anywhere else in the house.
    Regards ChrisG

    Looks like you made an excellent job of building it, well done. There is a great pleasure in building a boat and then actually seeing it sailing, it’s a pity more people don’t explore this more.

    That's great Chris. The Bella (and its larger sister Bellisima) is a realistic looking and practical sailboat that has proved to be superb to sail on lighter winds. Thereafter a gaff or cutter rig conversion will be relatively easy and an additional challenge.

    I really like auxiliary motorised scale- sail models myself built to plans on fibreglass hulls. I then try to persuade other club members that there is far far more to model sailing than just racing ready-made and plastic DragonForce 65s or One Meters.

    With best wishes. John 😊😐😐
