BLUENOSE by PIERO

[The Sailor]

Ops! One more thing: I've doubts about the color of the main cabin because I saw that someone painted the walls in white, while others left it exposed wood giving only oil. From the old photos available on the web I can't figure out what the real thing could be .....

 

[Peter Voogt]

Hi Piero,
This pictures will help you?

 

[The Sailor]

Thanks Peter! Is this photo related to the first BN, or to those built later (BN II)? I see some differences between this pic and the one we are building ...

 

[The Sailor]

Peter, will you color it like this or will you leave it in wood? Honestly, I prefer it in wood. At least the main cabin.

My intention is to make my BN likes that old version on the picture.

Good evening everyone!

With a little patience, I was able to finish a fair part of the deck details.



In particular, the construction of the two lifeboats took a long time, mainly due to the delicacy of the small pieces and the wood used for the bulwarks.



In the end, however, I succeeded!







Now let's go back to my Swiss home to continue the hard work on the beloved BN...

The parts looks nice, Piero. Especially the white accent on the darker parts.
And the fishing dories looks fine.
Regards, Peter

This is what I found a while ago. It is stated to be the Bluenose I colors.

Even today, like every sunny sunday, a walk in the mountains until 1.600mt of Monte Bar, and its Grotto (drink & eat).




In the meantime She is resting ...

it is said in Italian language,
,La dolce vita

 

[The Sailor]

You're right Shota!
After 45 years of honored service to my country, I can say that I thank the good God for giving me the opportunity to open my eyes every morning and continue to enjoy life! I was born right in the moment of the maximum splendor of the "Dolce Vita" ....

G'day everyone!

This morning I started installing the various beams under the deck.

I started with the bow and I came up with a little system to align the various beams to size: I drew exactly the centerline on the beams themselves, then I pulled a thread between the two extreme points of the filling then fixed with two nails.





At this point I placed the references on the beams exactly under the wire.



Following Peter's procedure, I placed some separating baffles to position the stones for the simulation of the bulb (without sailing dinghy).



For the stones I will use real sand from the Liguria Region which has small pebbles that can effectively simulate heavy stones.

Hello Piero, mast'ascia system, Congratulations

 

[Heinrich]

Excellent way of doing the beams Piero, And the fact that you are adding real Ligurnian stone pebbles is just amazing.

 

[Henk Liebre]

Cleverly conceived (a very simple one actually)

 

[The Sailor]

Here are the stones, properly selected, put in their place! Now I wait for Peter, or whoever for him, to advise me on how to "block them"....

 

[The Sailor]

Hello Piero, mast'ascia system, Congratulations

Grazie Franco!
L'importante è prendere ed immagazzinare tutte le esperienze che hai possibilità di farle tue...

Hello Piero

Marking your centerline; great idea. I'll adopt your method for both upper- and lower deck floorbeams on my Bluenose.
On your ballast rock; to me the ballast appear to be a little off-scale, or is it that I can't properly judge it's size from a picture?
As for how to keep the ballast in place, I think Peter mentioned this in his build log, see post #557.

Enjoy!

Hi Johan,
it is a pleasure to be able to exchange ideas and advice for each other!

You are completely right about the off-scale ballast! In fact, I have replaced the stones that are too large with others a little more in scale ...
