The GRACIE S - a POF Model

Classroom 2 MWF - evening EST - short presentations

Featuring: The Station Section Method

A framing method that I have been developing over the last 20 years.

This class will only cover the framing portion of building a model of Gracie S.


Gracie S
San Francisco pilot schooner 1893
95.5' x 83' x24'7" x 19'7" 91t

Stations 52" intervals

R&S 26"
Frames 8" as a paired bend 16"
Space 10"

The model is 1:48 scale.
frames 0.17" Black Cherry Prunus serotina
spaces 0.21" Pine 2x4 Home Depot aisle special
space tops 0.21" Yellow Poplar Liriodendron tulipifera

Gracie S is a small vessel. It was designed for speed with no provision for it being a cargo carrier.
It looks fast, sleek, but a bit hippy.
