Acerca de este barco

Semi-scale inspired by the design of gaff rigged pilot cutters. Based on plans from Gary Webb (bearospaceindustries.com) it took 6 months to build.

Hull is ply sheeting over ply bulkheads. Three channel RC - two sail winches plus rudder. Removable rig, keel and rudder plus retractable bowsprit for transport. Overall length 58in, hull length at deck level 43in, beam 12 3/4in. Sail area is 1180 sq ins.

Lots of scale like detail added to the basic plan including anchor winch, tiller, skylight, gooseneck, deadeyes, working blocks with brass sheeves...

Can only reiterate what folks are saying.
I'm running out of superlatives 😉
(unless I start with German ones 😁)
Can't wait to see your next creation.

Wonderful build, Looks great on the water which is what we all desire to achieve. Bet it draws a crowd of spectators and cameras.
I placed a hold on the book at the library.

Graham, I would regard John Leather's 'Gaff Rig' to be virtually the bible of the subject. Follow him and you are bound to be perfect. His other books are excellent too.

Cheers, Nerys

Thanks Martin, Nerys,

I'm glad you like it.

Nerys, It's reassuring to hear that the rigging is realistic. That's down to finding lots of photos on the Internet, and having a copy of the book 'Gaff Rig' by John Leather.

The attention to detail in the rigging is fantastic. Every picture I see reminds me of how a full size gaff cutter should be rigged.
