PAYMENT AND ORDERING

[MM2CVS9]

Welcome aboard.

This too is a first plank on frame wood model I've done. I have built several life size canoes and rowboats, never a sailing boat though so I have little to no feel for rigging and sails.

The Bluenose forum has been a tremendous collaboration of people, all working together, with so many different skillsets being contributed. Right out of the gate with the effort to translate the instructions, construction techniques, The wonderfully picture illustrated step by step build logs, different ideas, questions answered (no matter how basic or dumb sounding), history, plans, you name it, someone here has contributed to the knowledge base.

So, jump in, take the plunge. The build process is very similar to building the real thing, only in miniature. If you have problems or questions - just ask and someone will jump in to help.

And above all, patience. Just like when fitting the hull strips on a cedar strip canoe - patience is the key. The skill follows naturally.

Looking forward to your build log.

One venture that you may take in adding to your familiarity with the Bluenose is to go into the group and on the administrative page link take a look at the thread for old photos and references from the past. It is a collection of photos, books, videos, and commentary about Bluenose and things related to her including planking. Enjoy the voyage. Rich (PT-2)

Bluenose #44 was shipped today to @RDN1954 Johan Swart in the Netherlands and with this comes the opportunity of officially welcoming Johan to the Bluenose Group Build. I am fully aware that the decision to buy the YQ POF Bluenose was not a lightly taken one and therefore I appreciate it. However, I am confident that your choice was the right one and wish you many happy hours of building!

Today was a busy one for Xiuli in the YQ offices as not only one, but TWO Bluenoses left Shandong in China! Bluenose #45 is destined for @Sonarbob Bob Winter in Lake Geneva, USA. A big and warm welcome to you Bob! I am sure that everyone is waiting with bated breath to see the sawdust of your build!

Eagerly waiting for the parcel to arrive!
Too bad I can't start building before Christmas, since it will be a Christmas present from my longtime girlfriend (married her 42 years ago). Now I'm in need for a real good present for her as well...

In the mean time I'm going through a number of YQ BN logs, collecting info; the number of questions I have is rising!

Thanks for welcoming me to this community.
