Hey Doc, nice work! Did I catch on the other thread that it's 46 inches long?

Aside from the fancy decks it looks ready to float on the next high tide and go haul some lobster pots. :D

hi ish, yea it's 46". i guess i could call it a "muscongus bay lobster smack yacht"! i just got carried away with those mahogony decks. the plans were from blue jacket.

Wow Bob! I better take lessons from you! Thanks for the pictures! :cool:

Doc that is fantastic. If I saw that before I bought my friendship plans I would have been very tempted to build that. Now all you gotta do is build one full size and take me sailing. :D

She's beautiful, but I have 1 question, Your not gonna just keep her as a display model are you? :(
Did you fit her with R/C equipment? Models that sweet looking are much, much happier on the water.
I built a 1/8" scale model of Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 25 (sloop), she looked great on the display stand, but she looked better sailing on the pond. As soon as a get a scanner I'll post the pictures of her on the pond, she's so happy!!
