HIGH HOPES, WILD MEN AND THE DEVIL’S JAW - Willem Barentsz Kolderstok 1:50

This is such an interesting discussion and so many variations to fairing. Great contributions from all who participated. Repeating myself - I wish I had read some of these prior to starting my Victory. Can’t wait to start my next buildThumbsup
 
@GrantTyler Hi Grant. I am very glad that I have posted my boo-boo and for all the wonderful and insightful contributions we have received from our friends. This makes it all (even the mistakes) worthwhile. Actually, come to think of it, the mistakes are actually worth more, because they teach solutions and preventions.

True story Heinrich. When I started this hobby I was so naive to how much there is to learn and I don’t think this ever stops. You guys over there must have a awesome Christmas. Cheers.
 
@GrantTyler Thank you Grant! Tomorrow, on Christmas Day I am teaching five students as a favor in the afternoon and in the evening they are taking me out to supper. Christmas Eve and Christmas morning though, will be spent in the shipyard!

Thank you very much for the kind words and well wishes, Henk! In China, Christmas serves a purely promotional and business purpose. As such the day is like any other day. However, I am still master of my own beliefs ...

I wish you and your family a very blessed Christmas and a 2022 filled with health.

I had to learn that one doesn't really learn from the things we do right first time, but that we tend to learn from one's mistakes, provided we're prepared to own them, like Heinrich so bravely did. Thumbs-UpThumbs-UpThumbs-Up

Paul I am very glad that you are finding the discussion useful. Ithink you have nailed the issue on all fronts. The small size of the ship certainly compounds the issue - on a larger ship these same curves would have been much more gradual. And yes, we have to fair along the strake line not in a straight line.

So there are a number of solutions to this:

1. @Dean62 DXean's method of fairing in an upwards rolling motion from keel to bow would automatically more fairing zones.
2. @Maarten Maarten's foam blocks will largely have the same effect as they are more flexible and also cover a wider area.
3. @Dematosdg But I still like Daniel's suggestion of a fully blocked hull best. If I had done that from the outset, this issue would not even have been an issue.

And lastly when checking your fairing. Also do that also in the line that the strake will follow.

This video just popped up on my email. I am an Olha Batchvarov Chanel subscriber member. I though it would add to the discussion about the old way of fairing a hull by filling the spaces between bulkheads


Heinrich, for you the below pictures from the video because you can't watch YouTube videos, Olha is showing a "home sanding tool" being used for fairing a hull.

Happy holiday time !!!

@Dematosdg Thank you so much for this valuable contribution Daniel! This is still by far the best method of all - even if it is on a smaller ship! ThumbsupThank you for the well wishes and support - I also want to wish you and your family a very blessed Christmas and a 2022 full of health!

Thank you for the kind words Johan. And in the end, after the mistake, the lesson learnt and the redone, one feels so much happier and satisfied with your work.
