Welcome to my new build

This was presented to me by NRG Model Ship World  a few months ago as a retirement present, for which i am extremely grateful, my kit is the one that was reviewed

i have been given permission by the reviewer to use this 

1:20 Dorade – 1931 Amati Catalogue # 1605

Dorade is a yacht designed in 1929 by Olin Stephens of Sparkman & Stephens and built 1929–1930 by the Minneford Yacht Yard in City Island, New York. She went on to place 2nd in the Bermuda Race later that year. The crew for its first race received the All-Amateur Crew Prize. However, it would be a win in the Transatlantic Race that would bring the boat its name. She completed a race that takes an estimated 3–4 weeks in just 17 days, earning her crew a parade upon the ship's return and a reception for Olin Stephens hosted by the mayor of New York. Olin Stephens, the designer, was skipper through 1932 when he handed the boat to his brother, Rod Stephens. Led by Rod, Dorade sailed to victory in the 1932 Bermuda Race. From Bermuda, Dorade sailed back to Norway, down to Cowes, England, and finally back to America after winning the Fastnet Race. The victory of the 1932 Fastnet Race was of substantial significance given the unusually severe weather, several ships feared missing as well as one recorded drowning among the events that unfolded.

Dorade was completely restored in 1997 at the shipyard of Argentario, in Porto Santo Stefano, Italy. In 2013, Dorade took first place (after applying her handicap) in the Trans-Pacific race that she had won in 1936. Edit courtesy of Wikipedia

DSC09884.JPG.6d326b1c0107d91376b77654478

The size of this box (and it’s huge!) certainly belies the weight of it. You’d expect something as heavy as the Vanguard that we looked at a couple of months ago, but that’s certainly not the case at all. The reason for this will be seen in a moment. The box itself is beautifully presented with a super-glossy lid depicting a finished Dorade model, and of course in a portrait format due to the shape of the vessel. The model itself, at 1:20 scale, has given measurements of 85.6cm long, and 103 cm tall. More images of the completed vessel adorn the sides of the box. Now, lifting that lid reveals an open top lower box, unlike the complete and enclosed boxes of other large Amati kits I’ve looked at. Immediately, your eyes are drawn to the reason why this box is relatively light, and that is the inclusion of a complete ABS hull, and hence the reason why this model is stated as being suitable for RC conversion, although the modeller will have to fathom that themselves, as no instructions are given for that particular path. Internally, the box has a number of card inserts to stop the various contents from jangling around loose. It’s only the components tray itself that seems to be a little freer to move, but thankfully, mine hadn’t spilled open or become dislodged. 

DSC09936.thumb.JPG.217ba8e82a17a4a19b800

That ABS hull is very nicely moulded, is fairly thin, and super-light in weight. It has a glossy external finish and will just need some buffing and polishing to remove some very minor surface abrasions. The upper edge will need the fuzziness removed from, but again, this is something that’s very east to do, and not a reflection of the quality, which really is excellent. 

DSC09937.JPG.4746e911430f0561753f1109893

First, we take a look at the thick, clear sleeve and the paper contents within. Quite a few Amati releases have a glossy instruction manual, and this has one too, well…at least the cover is glossy, with Italian text giving a short history of the vessel. Inside, the instructions are given in line drawing format, with shading for clarity. All stages have a reference number which can be cross-checked with the written assembly instructions. For these, a glossy Italian manual is provided, with standard A4 sheets provided for both the French and English versions. Going back to the main illustrative instructions, there is some annotation given in all three set languages also. Parts are also clearly identified, whether they be wooden, or one of the many fittings that are supplied. Please note that the timber parts themselves aren’t actually numbered, and you will need to refer to the component identification plan sheet. Construction tips are also given, such as how to mark the waterline.

DSC09938.JPG.33dfd90197d1c3c91d669aa8fef

As for the fittings etc., these can be identified against a comprehensive parts list that is provided in each language, which gives the part number, name, and specific number of included components. I suggest that each packet of components be put in a zip-lock wallet with the kit identifying code written on, to make it easy to locate the parts needed during construction.

DSC09955.thumb.JPG.fc313d8837985b432e9de

FOUR large plan sheets are included in this release, printed on relatively thin paper. The first three sheets provide large scale drawings of the Bessel, from profiles, to upper elevations and sectional material, plus those all-important fitting positions etc. Annotation on the main plans appears to be in Italian, but the illustrations are clear to see, so for a competent modeller, there shouldn’t be any problems encountered. If the worst comes to worst, just use an online translator tool.

The last of the large plan sheets is the parts guide for the wooden sheets, with all parts being easily identified against the instruction booklet. I’m sure I once read that the Dorade kit provided no parts reference for things such as the internal hull framework etc. and that everything was in Italian. Well, if that was the case, then it certainly isn’t now. Remember that companies like Amati revise their kits from time to time, in instructions as well as parts, so maybe that referred to an old issue. 

DSC09947.JPG.11ab251c08a6231a91a8d6613dd

A sandwich of timber is now provided as two long plywood sheets are taped together, with the thin ply deck hiding between them. These main sheets are the thickest timber components in the box and provide the modeller with the various internal hull frames and bulkheads, as well as the parts that make up stand (note that no main plinth is supplied, as shown on the box lid). All parts are cleanly laser-cut with very small tags to cut through to remove them from their sheets.

DSC09956.thumb.JPG.997bf50c2338873e232d9

The deck is a full-length piece of thin ply with mast holes in situ, and the rear panel for lower deck access, just needing removal. 

DSC09945.JPG.6f32efebf1c5e4194eec09c07a6

Another thick, clear sleeve contains more timber components, plus a number of other items. One of the timber sheets is a smaller, thin ply sheet with parts associated with the various deck structures, to name but a few. Cutting is again nice and clean, and timber quality is excellent. Parts here are for the various stringers, cockpit sides and edges, funnel flange and deckhouse roof etc.

DSC09963.thumb.JPG.479ff1e1f28a452223eed

Two thicker walnut sheets include parts for the rudder, gunwales, belaying pin rack, ventilator tops, skylights, doors, winch steps. Mizzen mast coaming and crosstrees, plus other coamings and side elements. As a number of these parts will be varnished and the wood generally seen, you will need to remove any charring from the laser cutting. 

DSC09965.thumb.JPG.7e43f38a8755103743f08

One packet contains some good quality acetate for the various deck structure windows, and also a piece of what appears to be a glossy dark green card. I can’t identify that as of yet.

DSC09972.JPG.116bdab530a65658d93879efe40

Timber strip quality is high and also cleanly cut. This first bundle, held by a thread and paper wrap, is for the deck planking. Remember, no hull planking here! This creamy coloured material will need to have a nice deck caulk effect set between them.

DSC09973.thumb.JPG.bf692fa7836c566766f40

Another bundle of timber includes circular and semi-circular dowel lengths, and more strip timber in Ramin and walnut. 

DSC09974.thumb.JPG.a4bd1c7df56f1f2b245db

Several lengths of brass section strip are included, as is a length of thick copper rod.

DSC09975.JPG.50b3cf4b1a4f40650d52a75a0f3

Amati has included a reasonably sized sheet of brass photo etch. This really must be the shiniest, most polished PE that I’ve ever seen. Totally mirror-like in quality. Here you will find parts that include mast collars, shelves, trolleys, flanges, portholes, jib brackets, sheave boxes, rails, and turnbuckle and ventilator parts, again, to name but a few. Production quality is first rate, with narrow, thin tags holding the components securely until you need to remove them. A separate, smaller piece of PE contains the external and internal hawseholes.

DSC09976.thumb.JPG.dc2534cf93b7e824479f1

Lastly, we take a look at the plastic tray of components. This tray is a typical Amati storage box in vac-form plastic, with a clear lid. This is compartmentalised to accommodate the numerous packets of fittings within. Dorade’s fitting tray is certainly weighty, with NINETEEN packets of fittings, nails, decals and rigging cord. Fittings include cleats, portholes, winches, eyebolts, ventilators, boom parrels, turnbuckles, snaphooks, rings, pulleys, sheaves and side lights. Where those parts are cast, the finish is very good, with just a buffing needed before priming

DSC09979.thumb.JPG.1708a3a7fecec3065377d

Conclusion If you want a project that is a little different from the norm, then Dorade may be just what you are after. With the hull just requiring some remedial finishing before use, plus cutting out the scuppers, you should also find that it’s a relatively quick project that will take a few months instead of running into years. Dorade is a beautiful yacht, and Amati have very much caught her lines here. There is of course a little jigging around between the parts plan, materials and the instructions, and of course with any model this size, you’ll need a reasonable working space, plus some intermediate skills when it comes to tackling the various task required. For the price, she’s also a very attractive subject and will doubtless be a real centrepiece when on display. Quality is typically Amati, and I’m sure you’ll really like this one!

That looks like a beautiful kit, I will follow along with interest.

(I assume the last two photos are of someone else's kit and you haven't actually already finished it?)

it part of the kit review

Good morning everyone

a slow start but the deck planking is going down, i have gone back to using the kit supplied strip wood and it is thicker then my own 

IMG_6817.thumb.JPG.96edbbce6c13a78220536

good evening everyone 

IMG_6829.thumb.JPG.f1a6277d1742054f6a7d0

good evening everyone

i hit a problem this morning, and took until tonight to think through a decent repair

the after corner  jogling board either side of the cockpit did not meet the run of planking was infact just over 1mm short, it has taken me all day to think through a solution

in this photo i have tried to go round it but you can see the next board will not be wide enough to fill the gap

IMG_6835.thumb.JPG.964cf0b0cbca5f1bd66b6

pulling all the boards off would not solve  the problem, as you can see they are symmetrical, infill would not work, then tonight whilst dog walking, i had a senior moment and thought make the cockpit boards wider, and that what i did, an 6 hour worry and an hour to resolve, im happy again, personally i dont know how this could have been avoided

IMG_6848.thumb.JPG.83cd7241fc114df747c3e

starboard side cut off

IMG_6840.thumb.JPG.4326d16847a86fba0aee5

found a piece of strip wood the right width

IMG_6842.thumb.JPG.526bda53099240ae0641a

attached it to the joggling board

IMG_6845.thumb.JPG.d402ab96e6cacbb72bd0b

both sides done and back in place

IMG_6846.thumb.JPG.a69720e088cc266f6e8e7

good morning everyone

thank you for comments and likes

deck planking continues, 

what ever error i have made is continuing through, even though i still dont know if it was a mistake by me, as i have to do the same repair to the foremast joggle plate

IMG_6849.thumb.JPG.34496cea54a9c293fcf1f

Very nice work and  rapid progress ! I love the model but it's not a kit for the faint-hearted . The ABS hull seems perfect for an rc conversion unlike the fiber glass hulls produced by Amati in the past which were far too heavy.

the hull is very light and tough with it, kit would suit a new starter, but lol i think the decking would put them off, if however they brought a version out with a printed deck to give the option, it would sell quite well IMO

Good evening everyone

well the decking was completed, without to much fuss, and everything was the same both side, Joggling is a bit of an art, but got better as time went by

then i had a fantastic idea remove the king planks sand them back and re-stain , sort the wonky nibbles out and then varnish the planking before the king plank go back on

brilliant idea (actually it was a very very bad idea, just spent three hours getting them back in, they bear no resemblance to what i have been test fitting over the last few days, god i make some work for myself lol

the stand is temporary for now i want to paint it a different colour to the hull which will be blue

IMG_6860.thumb.JPG.e35e5b40992aa55e70760

well thats game of thrones watched, we thouroughly enjoyed it all 8 seasons,

so now hope to spend a couple extra hours a day on the build until the next boxset, possibly "Killing Eve"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_Eve

made some progress on the cabin top, i am finding it much harder than anticipated to keep everything clean and new looking, and trying to keep it OOB without extra, although i would like to get some white rigging line,

and the box art shows brass rings on the sails, im not sure if thats correct, these are not included as part of the kit

It's a pleasure to watch your progress ! You might consider the 1/20 Tamiya yacht crew set to add some life to the model once it's finished. This figure set is difficult to get hold of but the figures are essentially the same as those in the pit crew tire changing set. The latter set should still be widely available.

thank you for that, great idea

work on the yacht continues, the rudder post fitted, the rudder its self will be secured into position later, it will be fixed in a permanent way

the structure has now been secured inside the hull, i now need to secure the deck to the sides, as i did not want to much 2 part epoxy dripping everywhere

26 holes have been put in, mainly for the scuppers and 4 hawse holes using the PE templete

the scuppers were a real pain, and still need a lot of work to just get two looking the same

IMG_6886.thumb.JPG.74fe92685bc7019b0e9cd

i in a position now to think about putting a primer on the hull, but been to wet and windy this weekend

the mast is made up, by off centring different different strip wood to create an oval shape, it going to be tall at 97 cm long, still to be tapered off

today i have brought another build back from the dead and will now also progress the Amerigo Vespucci   

IMG_6903.thumb.JPG.f0b99054df6600e92318d

  • 4 weeks later...

good afternoon everyone

IMG_7138.thumb.JPG.1ad6feadb2418ba9f4c2e

hawse holes, i have decided to leave in brass, rather than paint them the hull colour

yet again the box art shows a difference to the kit contents, the glosst pictures show a overhang of the capping rail , unfortunately even i i did not put a overhang on they would not have fitted, so and infill was put in at the pointy end

IMG_6748.thumb.JPG.1883feb9e04b251a93455

Waterline stripe went on ok, it called for 8mm i could only get 6mm i might put a go faster one on at a later date, i  bought them in 10m rolls of ebay, car pin stripes 

rails fitted went ok

it calls for the mast to be chamfered to fit a 10mm hole in the lower deck, i decided to pin a 10mm dowel to the mast, which worked ok, it was then checked for height, and then adapting to fit the various brass bit, which took a while to get right

IMG_7161.thumb.JPG.2f09bf8f9edcf6c6ca94b

thank you for the comments

dont think i have ever built anything, quite like this, yes the box art is very different to the kit, but for an OOB kit the instructions are good, the material is good, everything fits, and it is certainly a nice looking subject, would be even better if i was a half decent builder

the deck fittings have had attention today, the cockpit breakwater, cabin hosing and various bits are in progress on the table, including making your own blocks

About Dorade – Amati

Dorade (AM1605) Length 33-3/4″/ Height 40-1/2″ / Scale 1:20. Display board NOT Included.

Dorade is a yacht designed in 1929 by Olin Stephens of Sparkman & Stephens and built 1929–1930 by the Minneford Yacht Yard in City Island, New York. With Stephens as skipper, she went on to place 2nd in the Bermuda Race later that year. The crew for its first race received the All-Amateur Crew Prize. However, it would be a year later, that she made her name by winning the 1931 Transatlantic Race. She completed a race that takes an estimated 3–4 weeks in just 17 days, earning her crew a parade upon the boat’s return and a reception for Olin Stephens hosted by the mayor of New York. While in England that summer, Dorade also won the Fastnet Race.

In 1932, Stephens handed the boat to his brother, Rod Stephens. Led by Rod, Dorade sailed to victory in the 1932 Bermuda Race.[3] From Bermuda, Dorade sailed back to Norway, down to Cowes, England, and finally back to America after winning the Fastnet Race. The victory in the 1932 Fastnet Race was of substantial significance given the unusually severe weather, several ships feared missing as well as one recorded drowning among the events that unfolded. In 2013, Dorade took first place (after applying her handicap) in the Trans-Pacific race, which she first won in 1936. The yawl is also notable for the introduction of the Dorade box, a ventilator arrangement which became a standard fitting on small sailing craft.

The kit includes prebuilt ABS hull suitable to R/C; wooden inside structure; wooden deck and planking; brass and wooden fittings; photo etched brass details; cloth sails; plans and detailed instructions.

Amati Dorade Fastnet Yacht 1931 1:20 Model Boat Kit

Amati Dorade Fastnet Yacht 1931 1:20 Model Boat Kit

  • Description

Amati Dorade Racing Boat Model Kit.. Dorade is considered the very first modern yacht. It appeared in Europe in 1931 at the Fastnet, sailed by the two Stephens brothers Rod and Olin. At first sight Dorade seemed to be too thin and delicate even though it won the Transatlantic Regata doubling Fastned first, all alone. In 1932 it won the Bermuda regata and in 1933 it defeated all participants the Fastnet. At that time the "Times" entitled it as "the smallest amazing yacht of the Ocean regata ever built." Amati's easy-to-build kit features one-piece ABS plastic hull fitted with a laser cut wooden interior structure. The wooden deck is covered with individual planking strips. A wealth of wooden and turned brass fittings, photo-etched brass detailing, two diameters of rigging line, Dacron sailcloth and wooden masts provide authentic detailing. Four sheets of plans and illustrated instruction manual make building trouble-free. Experienced modelers can equip this fabulous model for radio control. Scale 1:20 Length: 856mm Height: 1028mm

Amati 1605 Dorade 1931 Fastnet Race 1/20 scale wood ship kit!

Dorade is considered the very first modern yacht. It appeared in Europe in 1931 at the Fastnet, sailed by the two Stephens brothers Rod and Olin. At first sight Dorade seemed to be too thin and delicate even though it won the Transatlantic Regata doubling Fastned first, all alone. In 1932 it won the Bermuda regata and in 1933 it defeated all participants the Fastnet. At that time the “Times” entitled it as “the smallest amazing yacht of the Ocean regata ever built.”

Kit includes prebuilt ABS hull suitable to R/C; wooden inside structure; wooden deck and planking; brass and wooden fittings; photo etched brass details; cloth sails; plans and detailde instructions.

Scale 1:20 – Total Length cm. 85,6

Shipping price is not included.

Please note this item is being sold by The Modeller’s Workshop, a Canadian company based in Quebec and, as such, Quebec and Canadian clients will be asked to pay appropriate taxes.

Yep. I think so, but what's more important is how you're able to do what you've done despite the poor quality of Amati's instructions.

You must be feeling pretty proud of yourself.

For a change I'm not going to whinge about Amati!  Just present info on the fiddly bits I've been creating.

It's one of those stages where nothing seems to happen - then you look at all the stuff you've made.

Here are some hatches and skylights, resting on the deck:

post-3616-0-39578000-1427670016_thumb.jpg

Then it was the deckhouse.  Here's part of the plan for that complicated structure:

post-3616-0-64371800-1427670169_thumb.jpg

Early stages of construction:

post-3616-0-00095800-1427670322_thumb.jpg

I forgot to seal around the masking tape before applying the mahogany stain - so I got some bleeding.  I plan to touch up the gloss white paint later.

Progressing (not sure what the curly things are called!):

post-3616-0-01346300-1427670397_thumb.jpg

And nearly finished:

post-3616-0-78988800-1427670569_thumb.jpg

I still have to fit the skirting boards, and the pulley seen in this part of the plans:

post-3616-0-97300100-1427670761_thumb.jpg

Silly me!  I assumed this was a pre-fabricated item.  Oh no!  Each pulley is constructed according to this plan:

post-3616-0-07012500-1427670854_thumb.jpg

That's gunna take a fair time for the first one!

However, I suddenly realised I'm actually enjoying all these little fiddly bits!

So, on we plod.

Still not sure what they are called, but here's the Deckhouse and "curly bits" in situ:

post-3616-0-89852100-1428874617_thumb.jpg

I glued the deck furniture on, and added a few winches etc.:

post-3616-0-09652800-1428874711_thumb.jpg

In these detail photos you can see the start of the posts and ropes at the sides of the deck, and a few other fiddly bits.  As usual the instructions are ********ed -

post-3616-0-51629900-1428875094_thumb.jpg

And here is the plan:

Fabulous Brett. Thank you so much for sharing.

Nice! You're doing a great job on a beautiful ship.

All the best

So, here's the boat a few days ago, with the side ropes etc in place:

post-3616-0-55799100-1429314436_thumb.jpg

Earlier I mentioned the pulleys.  Here is the plan of how they are constructed:

post-3616-0-18079300-1429314677_thumb.jpg

And here are some photos of the fiddly construction:

post-3616-0-21654200-1429314731_thumb.jpg

And some details of the finished products in situ:

post-3616-0-06152800-1429314844_thumb.jpg

Next step is the main mast.  Again the instructions basically say "find wood, make mast":

post-3616-0-34652500-1429314969_thumb.jpg

It's made from half-round and rectangular cross-section timber, tapered at the top 290mm, and overall length of 960mm!  Not easy to photograph, but here are a couple of views during assembly:

post-3616-0-26517500-1429315131_thumb.jpg

I forgot to photograph the whole thing, but here it is with some of the brassware attachments:

post-3616-0-08149300-1429315255_thumb.jpg

And a close up of those bits:

post-3616-0-07094700-1429315308_thumb.jpg

So I'm spending a couple of days poring over everything to try to avoid another 'oh, fork' moment.

Wow! That is some great work on the fiddly bits!

Current build: AL Morgan's Whaleboat (1st build)

Kits in the ships locker: I cannot confirm nor deny that there may be a few kits in there...

Thanks for the support, everyone.

The last few weeks have been spent on the mast and boom.  I decided to keep the mast natural timber colour.

When I woke early this morning, I thought "what have I done?".  Oh, no!

I had (again) blindly followed the plan, and stained the boom mahogany.  Only now did I think it might have looked better in a natural finish.

Too late, now - there's too much on the boom to backtrack.  And The Boss likes it, anyway, so I'm safe.

First the mast received its 'crosstrees'.  These are fitted into cuts in the mast:

post-3616-0-29866100-1430457474_thumb.jpg

Then finished with brass strips:

post-3616-0-89189500-1430457596_thumb.jpg

In the photo above you can also see the timber strip and eyebolts that run most of the length of the mast.  On the  other side (facing the bow) are fitted two brass channels.  These caused a lot of trouble and stress in their cutting, fitting, and gluing!

post-3616-0-12931900-1430457811_thumb.jpg

At the tip of the mast goes a recessed pulley, requiring a cut through:

post-3616-0-83392300-1430457904_thumb.jpg

And with the brass fittings in place:

post-3616-0-90265300-1430457956_thumb.jpg

The ball on the top is a wooden bead, with the simple direction to paint it brass coloured.  I've been unable to find this locally, so am trying gold spray paint.

Now to the boom.  It's a miserable day here, so there's lousy light.  Some are with the flash, some without - apologies.

Here's a fair colour match:

post-3616-0-13341000-1430458192_thumb.jpg

And the other side with bad colour:

post-3616-0-31807600-1430458266_thumb.jpg

And, finally, some detail views:

post-3616-0-65314400-1430458322_thumb.jpg

And the storm's about to hit, here in Brisbane, so it's time to close down.

  • egkb , yvesvidal , JerseyCity Frankie and 2 others

Congratulations on your progress on this lovely boat. I like the dark varnish on the boom, as it is very realistic of yachts of that era.

Thanks, Yves.

That makes me feel better!

We're about to head off on a month's holiday, so there will be no work done on the boat for a while.

Here's the current state:

post-3616-0-35420300-1431559712_thumb.jpg

As you can see, I've fixed the masts (main and mizzen) - not without difficulties and extreme stress.  I'm not exactly happy with the 3D positioning, but I hope it will look OK when the sails are on.

You can also see the two booms are in place.  This is despite the "wonderful" Amati instructions.  Note how three different items are all shown on the plan as the same!!!

post-3616-0-48959800-1431560084_thumb.jpg

Here is the mizzen mast boom:

post-3616-0-95329700-1431560148_thumb.jpg

And, finally, some other views:

post-3616-0-75393000-1431560243_thumb.jpg

And now to lock the room she's in, while we're away!

  • hexnut , GrandpaPhil , yvesvidal and 2 others
  • 2 months later...

Well, the break's over, and this model is finished.  I've been hiding while I fitted the rigging and sails.

There were the usual FUBARs, but I promised myself I would stop whining about Amati.  Still, it was fun when my wife "volunteered" to make the sails.  Her comments made mine seem restrained by comparison!

One thing to comment on.  The rigging was nice to work with, as the "rope" was 1-2mm thick.  This made seizing easier, but created difficulties threading through relatively small holes.

Some surgery was required, as seen here, where I had to bore out the windlasses from the size on the right to the end result on the left.  You can see the dental drill I used, and the size of the rigging rope:

post-3616-0-00512800-1437707215_thumb.jpg

As before, this is not a model that likes to be photographed, so apologies for what follows.  Here she is in her intended position in our lounge room:

post-3616-0-36266000-1437706822_thumb.jpg

I planned to display her from the port, but the sails are rigged such that you see all of them from the starboard.  I may change that later.

And a few other full views:

post-3616-0-41762600-1437706901_thumb.jpg

Soon, I will post some other views, but that may have to wait a while.  We are off for a week on a catamaran in the Whitsundays - this one http://www.whitsundayescape.com/product/seawind-1250/

Tough, huh?

  • egkb , GrandpaPhil , usedtosail and 4 others

Congratulations on finishing Dorade. She looks beautiful and is a real credit to you.

As for the catamaran trip....well, it's a hard life for some....enjoy!!!

Thank you for taking us on this beautiful Dorade ride and sharing the construction of that great kit.

Enjoy your sail trip. I envy you.

JerseyCity Frankie

Splendid! It really projects the feeling of…….all I can call it is "nostalgic serenity". Like a ship in a dream where they serve plenty of ice cream and everyone is dressed in sporty red and white stripped shirts and at least one guy has a pipe in his mouth.

  Niagara   USS Constitution  

Posting some photos, to show a bit more detail.

First, the rigging.  The top of the masts became a jumble.  I would have done better if I had been able to go back in time.  I did not realise how many ropes were at the pointy end!

post-3616-0-13336900-1438645612_thumb.jpg

Other views, to show the rigging:

post-3616-0-99039900-1438645676_thumb.jpg

Finally, a bunch of views from various viewpoints:

post-3616-0-32126600-1438645846_thumb.jpg

Now, normally at this point the search for the next model would begin.  However, that has been decided - one of my sons bought me the San Francisco II.  Not sure when I'll start it, but I can feel the pull already.

And, to finish, here's a couple of photos from last week's holiday:
