Here's my scratch built model of a Gundalow. in their final iteration they were lateen rigged cargo hauling workhorses of the New Hampshire and Maine estuaries from the mid 1600's thru very early 1900. Flat bottomed with a very shallow draft that allowed sailing (or following the tides/currents) to ports upriver with needed supplies and returning with cargo of all types. My model is 50" in length. It is used as a display model for The Gundalow Company in Portsmouth, NH. I also use it with historical presentations I give to schools, historical societies and libraries. The model is fully functional. While not radio controlled it has the ability to float.

Hi Rod. You are correct. Because of the size and location of the rudder it needs to be protected from stressing beyond it limit. That’s a great question. In all my presentations no one else has ever asked. Good eye!

Believed to be from Revell Models , " INGA IV " is a model Ketch , owned and sailed here by Martin Ward of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club.
RCSailing is just for fun, no gain.

My Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip 2" evolved from many hours of enjoyment I have had building, sailing and re tweaking previous "Nips".
The Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip 2" was a natural progression from my recent uni rigged "Slim Nip"
I just had to explore how an extended (76cm) Bermuda rigged hull would look and sail ?.
Length - 760mm , Beam - 170mm , Mast - 1100mm (Deck to top).

She look really good. If she was mine I would try the following idea. Lower the jib boom closer to the deck, add a bit more camber into the sails and open the slot up between the jib and the main and the jib when the sails are pulled in.
Just my thoughts enjoy sailing her

Hi Roger , all noted. I did put on an adjustable jib rack expecting to have "juggle" positions. With the weather starting to improve hopefully I can spend a bit more time working on the finer points. Someone once said to me , "you can get anything to sail , but its more difficult to get it to sail well" - How very true !!!!.
cheers

Seen here on on here maiden voyage this weekend - my Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip" evolved from many hours of enjoyment I have had building, sailing and re tweaking previous "Nips".
The Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip" was a natural progression from my recent uni rigged "Slim Nip" - I just had to explore how an extended (75cm) Bermuda rigged hull would look and sail ?.
The results so far are - Very pleasing !.

Thanks for the comments guys !.
Still a bit unsure what will happen when she gets a good blow ! - I don't enjoy sailing in a howling gale but I can alter the keel weight if necessary and alter the jib fixing point along with sail area combinations.
Still all very suck it and see ! .
Enjoy !

It's good to see you improving an already very successful design with a few very effective tweaks.
We should always remember that even successful designs can be readily enhanced and\or improved by our capable members!

Held this year on 30th of October 2022, the "Venetian Night Sailing" is an annual event which is always popular amongst Buxton Model Boat Club members and the local community.
Very sorry our local member Graham93 couldn`t be with us due to unforeseen circumstances.
