Gold Version of the Black Pearl - My First Build

[Vfordyce]

Took a sail on the 109 year old Lobster sloop “Chrissy” while at Bar Harbor. Nice little sail on a cool little boat. View attachment 253709View attachment 253708View attachment 253710

Very cool! Jealous!

, I know this is out of order but the Lanterns were calling my name. I don’t like the fiddly collars the kit provides so I decided to fab some wood ones on my lathe. They will require some tweaking when it come times to mount them but I think they will work fine. Process is listed below

Started with a piece of Cocobolo.

Well, just opened the box tonight and inventoried everything, all seems to be in order. Removed the keel pieces and filed the edge profile on the first piece. I will try to keep track of build time in the log. I expect to be rather slow and cautious as this is my first ship build ever. I will also have tons of questions as the directions are not so great.

Build Time So Far = 30 Minutes
