Thanks, Chaps. It is a bit of a step from Saltcoats to the museum of the broads, but next time I'm staying down there I'll have to try to look in. I have started bodging anyway and now have a (hard chine) hull planked up with the deck, rig and electrics to do. To those who will say it doesn't look anything like a wherry the reply is "OK, a wherry doesn't look anything like this either". She's about 31" loa which is slightly larger than a 1/2" scale Gleaner or Albion, which I think were about 58' loa. Simple hull, big loose footed gaff rig - it's keeping me off the streets while SWMBO watches the telly. But does anyone know the shape of the sail? What's the angle at the throat? It looks quite high peaked, but I guess it would need to be to get close to the wind.(I've got a couple of electric boats half done, but they are a bit like Jap fours - they just go whoosh) Now off to the Noth norfolk website.... I once had a holiday job building wooden Folkboats in a Wroxham boatyard.
