Been working on this for the past week or so. I’ve been wanting to make a boat for a while now. I tried a couple times in the past using a similar design for the hull, but I never finished any of em. Woke up a few days ago with some inspiration to finish one of these bad boys, so I did. Had a lot of fun takin da pics in da bath tub. I got a lot of pics I liked and I couldn’t decide so I just posted all of them. sorry

Whilst in Eaton Park Norwich the other night, I met a man and his wife. The man had made this model boat perfect in every detail including interior lights. It took him five years and was such an achievement I really wanted to post them here. They came from Wymondham and i failed to get their details - but if anyone knows them I have several photos of this model if they would like them.

Cutty Sark was ordered by shipping magnate John Willis, who operated a shipping company founded by his father. The company had a fleet of clippers and regularly took part in the tea trade from China to Britain. Speed was a clear advantage to a merchant ship, but it also created prestige for the owners: the 'tea race' was widely reported in contemporary newspapers and had become something of a national sporting event, with money being gambled against a winning ship. In earlier years, Willis had commanded his father's ships at a time when American-designed ships were the fastest in the tea trade, and then had owned British-designed ships, which were amongst the best available in the world but had never won the tea race. In 1868 the brand new Aberdeen-built clipper Thermopylae set a record time of 61 days port to port on her maiden voyage from London to Melbourne and it was this design that Willis set out to better.[6][7]
It is uncertain how the hull shape for Cutty Sark was chosen. Willis chose Hercules Linton to design and build the ship but Willis already possessed another ship, The Tweed, which he considered to have exceptional performance. The Tweed (originally Punjaub) was a frigate designed by Oliver Lang based on the lines of an old French frigate, built in Bombay for the East India Company as a combination sail/paddle steamer. She and a sister ship were purchased by Willis, who promptly sold the second ship plus engines from The Tweed for more than he paid for both. The Tweed was then lengthened and operated as a fast sailing vessel, but was considered too big for the tea runs. Willis also commissioned two all-iron clippers with designs based upon The Tweed, Hallowe'en and Blackadder. Linton was taken to view The Tweed in dry dock.
Willis considered that The Tweed 's bow shape was responsible for its notable performance, and this form seems to have been adopted for Cutty Sark. Linton, however, felt that the stern was too barrel-shaped and so gave Cutty Sark a squarer stern with less tumblehome. The broader stern increased the buoyancy of the ship's stern, making it lift more in heavy seas so it was less likely that waves would break over the stern, and over the helmsman at the wheel. The square bilge was carried forward through the centre of the ship.[6][8] In the matter of masts Cutty Sark also followed the design of The Tweed, with similar good rake and with the foremast on both ships being placed further aft than was usual.[9]
A contract for Cutty Sark's construction was signed on 1 February 1869 with the firm of Scott & Linton, which had only been formed in May 1868. Their shipyard was at Dumbarton on the River Leven on a site previously occupied by shipbuilders William Denny & Brothers. The contract required the ship to be completed within six months at a contracted price of £17 per ton and maximum weight of 950 tons. This was a highly competitive price for an experimental, state-of-the-art vessel, and for a customer requiring the highest standards. Payment would be made in seven installments as the ship progressed, but with a penalty of £5 for every day the ship was late. The ship was to be built to Lloyd's A1 standard and her construction was supervised on behalf of Willis by Captain George Moodie, who would command her when completed. Construction delays occurred when the Lloyd's inspectors required additional strengthening in the ship.[10]
Work on the ship was suspended when Scott and Linton ran out of money to pay for further work. Rather than simply liquidate the company, an arrangement was made for Denny's to take over the contract and complete the ship, which was finally launched on 22 November 1869 by Captain Moodie's wife. The ship was moved to Denny's yard to have her masts fitted, and then on 20 December towed downriver to Greenock to have her running rigging installed. In the event, completing the ship meant the company's creditors were owed even more money than when work had first been halted.[11]
Broadly, the parts of the ship visible above the waterline were constructed from East India teak, while American rock elm was used for the ship's bottom. The keel (16.5 in × 15 in (42 cm × 38 cm)) had on either side a garboard strake (11 in × 12 in (28 cm × 30 cm)) and then 6 in (15 cm) planking decreasing to 4.75 in (12.1 cm) at 1/5 the depth of the hold. Teak planking began at approximately the level of the bilge stringer. All the external timbers were secured by Muntz metal (brass) bolts to the internal iron frame and the hull covered by Muntz sheeting up to the 18 ft (5.5 m) depth mark. The stem (15 in × 15 in (38 cm × 38 cm)) and sternpost (16.5 in × 15 in (42 cm × 38 cm)) were of teak while the rudder was of English oak. The keel was replaced in the 1920s with one constructed from 15 in (38 cm) pitch pine.[12] The deck was made of 3.5 in (8.9 cm) thick teak while the 'tween deck was 3 in (7.6 cm) yellow pine. Her length was 212 feet 5 inches (64.74 m) with a draft of 21 feet (6.40 m) and a deadweight of 921 tons.[13]
Performance[edit]
A speck on the horizon
One day we sighted a vessel, a mere speck on the horizon, astern of us, and the way she came into view it was evident she was travelling much faster than ourselves. 'Bringing the wind up with her' was remarked on board, and that seemed the only feasible conclusion to arrive at and account for the manner in which she overhauled us. In a few hours she was alongside us, and proved to be the famous British clipper Cutty Sark, one of the fastest ships afloat. She passed us going two feet to our one, and in a short time was hull down ahead of us."
—Wool clipper crewman, 1879[14]
The maximum logged speed for Cutty Sark was 17.5 knots (32.4 km/h; 20.1 mph). The speed of a sailing ship is not so straightforward as a steam ship, as winds vary and a ship must tack when sailing into the wind, both requiring the crew to make constant adjustments to sails, so her speed also depended greatly on the skill of her captain and crew. Her greatest recorded distance in 24 hours was 363 nautical miles (672 km; 418 mi) averaging 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph), although she recorded 2163 miles[clarification needed] in six days, which given the weather over the whole period implied she had achieved over 370 nmi (690 km; 430 mi) some days.[15] By comparison, Thermopylae 's best recorded 24-hour distance was 358 nmi (663 km; 412 mi). Cutty Sark was considered to have the edge in a heavier wind, and Thermopylae in a lighter wind.[16]

EUREKA! Having seen S. Kite's illustrations in First Book, I ordered the Third Book since she was listed as the illustrator only to find just 2 (two) illustrations. I received the Second book today, and there are MANY of her images here!
"Don’t you wish we all could be
Playing by the salty sea,
With our spade, our big tin pail,
And our boats with masts and sail.--
Tucking up our little frocks,
We would paddle round the rocks,
In the pools so still and deep,
Where the crabs and shrimps all sleep."
“The Music Hour, Second Book” was published by Silver, Burdett and Co., 1928. Illustrated by Shirley Kite. Edited by Osbourne McConathy,
W. Otto Miessner, Edward Bailey Birge, and Mabel E. Bray.
“Joseph Francis Kernan (1878-1958) was a sportsman all of his life and the majority of his subjects featured, as he described it, ‘the human side of outdoor sports, hunting, fishing and dogs.’ These were the ideal subjects for magazine covers and his work appeared on all the major – and some minor – magazines, including ‘The Saturday Evening Post,’ ‘Collier’s,’ ‘Liberty,’ ‘The Country Gentleman,’ ‘Outdoor Life,’ and ‘Capper’s Farmer.’ His work was also commissioned for calendars, and advertisers such as Fisk Tires, International Harvester and Pratt & Lambert.” – The Illustrated Gallery.
Thought I would put together a nautical theme with one of my vessel models.

My Australian-built RC model of the preserved Norwegian coastal steamer, had another workout on the Wollondilly recently.
Two little guys with their father/grandfather at the pond in Herbert Park, Dublin. One has his net for catching pinkeens, but thought the other might have been controlling a model boat?
The Pergola and covered walkway just above the far side of the pond sadly fell victim to the Snowpocalypse of winter 2010/2011 and collapsed under the weight of snow and ice. That aside, if you visit Herbert Park today, this scene is completely unchanged.
Slow Loose Chippings told us that the "pond in Herbert Park was once the mill pond for the nearby Mill at Ballsbridge" and Niall McAuley provided us with a map showing that old mill pond.
P.S. "Going fishing" myself for a few days, but will be back in action at the end of the week...

The ancient Egyptians believed that the other world contained a celestial river equivalent to the Nile, where the gods travelled over it in their boats and spirit crossed it on their way to resurrection. Therefore models of boats were placed within the funerary furniture to depict the deceased's journey to the cemetery and its equivalent to the other world.

I don't know which to pick. Sorry for always doing this... I don't know what to think of this either! Many people seem to like this one....hmm
The Loyal Moderator after her 'swim'
The real Loyal Moderator is a Supply Tender built in 1973 and currently sailing under the flag of the United Kingdom.
These are big working models … this one about 4 ft. long!
I do hope to see them again, and in the water!
67years old , still going well. The kit cost £3 - 15 shillings in 1953. Started building her 1954, the she was put aside for about 25 yrs due to a career in two Air Forces, and first went on the water in the early 1980s. She has been used as my test bed for various motors, radio gear and batteries. Old faithful she never lets me down.

343/365.
Today was not supposed to be a busy day, but it turned into one. And then some.
Anyway, I took a little detour on the way to pick up dinner and ended up at Britannia Shipyard.
I set up my kit, snapped a few frames (6 to be exact), packed up, and went to pick up our Greek food.
It was yummy.
I like it better on black.
(The photo, not the Greek food.)

The SS Allenwood was built and launched in December 1920 by Ernest Wright of John Wright & Co Shipyards, Tuncurry, NSW. The vessel was a coastal trader owned by Allen Taylor's North Coast Shipping Co. with her prime role that of carrying timber and supplies to the residents of towns along the coast of NSW.
The 398-ton, 147-foot twin-screw wooden steamer was easily recognizable by her twin funnels.
During WW2 the Allenwood was requisitioned by the Department of Navy and became the HMAS Allenwood, after the war reverting to its former role..
Vessels like the SS Allenwood regularly faced hazardous sea conditions as well as perilous bar crossings up and down the NSW coast. Many such vessels were lost in their performance of these roles and many mariners died.
Somehow the twin screw powered SS Allenwood managed to survive the elements until one foggy night on the 14th September 1951 in a powerful storm the vessel skippered by Captain Boutrup finally succumbed to nature's fury. Unable to avoid being washed onto Birdie Beach, near Norah Head on the NSW Central Coast the life of the Allenwood ended.
Soon after she was declared a wreck and put out to tender for salvage. Marine engineer JP Scott of Warners Bay was the successful bidder. He paid £601 for the salvage rights. He used the timber to build a house at Warners Bay.
After big storms when sand is removed from the wreck site the superstructure of the boat can still be seen today.
Click on the image below to read more about the SS Allenwood.
Birdie Beach, is in Munmorah State Conservation Area being bordered by the rugged cliffs of Wybung Head to the north and Budgewoi Peninsula to its south. Rarely busy, Birdie Beach is a great spot for surfing and snorkelling though its best known as a clothing-optional beach.
All the Grok Ai animated images of the SS Allenwood that follow have been created from the image of Kevin Rasmussen's model boat shown in the first comment below.
I asked that Grok Ai create a realistic portrayal of the model in a stormy sea. In some renditions I asked it to add voices to the rendered image but had to specifically ask that it use an Australian accent.

With over 3075 T37 Racing Sloops sailing across the world, T37 fleets have emerged around the US to bring like-minded sailors and racers together for competitive and fun racing! Whether match-racing with just two boats or sailing with 20 others, T37 sailing is fun for sailors of all ages and experiences.
Some of the biggest T37 fleets are located in the Pacific Northwest; one of the fastest growing of these fleets is the Port Townsend, Washington fleet. Since its formation only a few years ago, the fleet has grown from zero boats to 43 boats.
Because the T37 Racing Sloop is a one-design class, sailors do not have to buy expensive boats or fancy sails to 'get an edge'; instead, T37 racing is about strategy and model boat racing skills.

This is a work in progress: a 1:24 scale diorama of the ranger station and dock from the old Flipper TV series.
Before the Murakami Boat Museum opens at Brittania Shipyard Museum for the summer months, I was able to get inside when some clients were viewing the building for a wedding reception venue.
These were morning shots, so the light was shining on the opposite building. Wonder what it'd be like to take the same shots in the afternoon when the other building is darker.
Since taking these photos, I see others have had the same idea. Obviously these model boats inspire photographers!
That is my east-facing bedroom window. The sunrise is also reflected in the glass of a framed picture above my bed!
Appropriately - in view of the model yacht in the window - the reflected backdrop is of Houton Bay's entrance - and then beyond that a very large portion of Orkney's sheltered "Scapa Flow" natural anchorage..
