Another day, another new face.
« on: January 22, 2016, 09:26:01 pm »
Have had a peruse of the forum & other bits of the Mayhem site, you look a freindly bunch so I decided to stick my head round the door & say hello.

I have just acquired another boat, she is in a bit of a state, but hopefully my limited (but getting better) skills will be enough to get her back on the water.

She does have a link to the site, there is a thread on here showing her original build.

Thanks Ken, but it's not my first model, I've already bought & renovated a 'Billings' boat, a Nordkap trawler.
I found her on the 'Bay' with outdated electrics & badly sprung hull, but now she sails agian under the name of 'Laurel II' an old Grimsby boat.

Hi Kipper, your Laurel II looks a sweetie. Given the quality of that work I am sure your new project will be just as good.

I know this thread is a little old, however I downloaded plans for this and I do not believe they are full scale  could someone tell me the length and width of Part 29 the deck. I enlarged my plans up but for some reason if I use the 550 mm it says for the lower keel (enlarged of course to match the scale im doing) it comes out way wrong when it should only be around 50 ish inches it is coming out at 90 ish and the enlargement was taken from the deck in my drawings to be only 44 inches so there is no way there is another 50 inches of keel
