This has been the building of my scale model
Reliance.
She is the pride and joy of my model fleet so far.
The only project that even compares in my mind is
my Eagle Scout project.
I will be uploading a video soon that has this
portion of video and a portion of the sailing; as well
as a video of just the sailing.
Maiden voyage to come soon.
All together the build has taken me about six
months of working about 5 hours a week.
The Dimensions:
LOA = 5'
LWL = 3'
Beam = 8"
Draught = 7"
Sail Area nearly 2 square yards
Ballast = 3.5 Kg or 7.71lbs of Lead
She has a collapsable mast and rigging system so
she can easily be transported in a normal sized car
with a back seat or trunk.
I want to thank a list of people:
Dr. M. Edmondson - all your financial help, and
encouragement along the way has been more of a
help than you will ever understand.
Chris & Shari Hall - you both have been very
supportive throughout the whole build.
Connor Hickman - your company while working late
at night with classes in the morning was a bigger
help than you understand.
Clara Sweet - your attention to detail, company late
at night, and words of encouragement made
building this "friendship boat" all worthwhile.
There are many many more people who have
helped in little ways that I cannot name them all, I
just want to say thank you to everyone who has.
I hope that the video of her maiden voyage doesn't
take me too long to upload, I will have it up as soon
as possible.
