I wish my videos would have been better but I had a stiff wind and some choppy water, still the double end design of Emily the little spunky sister of Gary Webb’s Emma, did a nice exhibition of a sailboat for the family.

I was sailing off the southern side of Willisboro Point on Wednesday afternoon.

This is my Catboat (alternate spelling: cat boat).
I made this for my son to have on his house.
When I bought this old model from EBay for little money but took me lots of hours to turn it the way it looks.
Is a sailboat with a single sail on a single mast set well forward in the bow of a very beamy and (usually) shallow draft hull. Typically they are gaff rigged, though Bermuda rig is also used. Most are fitted with a centreboard, although some have a keel.
The hull can be 12 to 40 feet long with a beam half as wide as the hull length at the waterline.
The type is mainly found on that part of the Eastern seaboard of the USA from New Jersey to Massachusetts.

This my version of the Friendship sloop, also known as a Muscongus Bay sloop or lobster sloop, is a gaff-rigged working boat design that originated in Friendship, Maine around 1880 and has survived as a traditional-style sailboat.
This build is from an old Laughing Whale model and was given to me by the son of a great model builder that has passed away.
I know that this kit is r/c friendly but I did it as a static model.
Everything from the rub rails up is entirely scratch built. The Eagle figure head was hand sculpted.
Again I hope the model is to you guys’ liking.

This is the "Compass" , RC Sailboat belonging to Buxton Model Boat Club member Dean.

This are photos of the biggest and very well made model of the Endeavour, a sailboat from the beginning of the 20th century. the First photo is of the gentleman that build this fantastic model! I was allowed to publish photos you can see here. I myself feel obliged to stand-out and show the gentleman responsible for this work of art!

I am continuing to try to learn the way this forum is properly used. I want to publish here my photos of the construction of my sailboat Carina from scratch that I am publishing here. I will limit myself to photos that are useful to get a general view of the topics I am publishing

Trying to learn to use this forum properly I am publishing a video that shows an experiment I did to find out how fast the stepper motor could turn. I am using in my model of the sailboat Carina 2 stepper motors like the one shown in the video to work as a winch to control the position of the sails in a system solution where I am realizing this my own way to implement the sheets as shown on the original sailboat Endeavour. This requires my sheet control system to control the length of the sheet of the mainsail i.e. over a range of 8.3 meters. This requires the drum which is turned by the stepper motor to make 21 full turns. Details will be published in my report from scratch of building my Carina.

Huson 24 RC sailboat wooden hull. I have a small fleet of these. They are extremely stable in high wind. Bought this one online in pretty good condition.
Did a lot of smoothing on the epoxy coated hull. I use West Systems epoxy because it flows so well - like paint - and doesn’t stink.

Wianno Senior is the style of sailboat. The main sail is being installed in these photos. Looking forward to water testing soon.

The owners of this sailboat are putting it in the water today after nearly a year in the repair shop. Should go like a graceful greyhound.

I will post more photos as they come to me.

finally some nice weather for a sail boat race at Hamilton sod farm pond . May 20 2018 my soling is the last in line & has a watermelon deck or maybe it's salmon
