DESCRIPTION:
Photos and video from the build of the original ‘FLYER’. This is a semi-scale model inspired by the legendary English Pilot Cutters.
PDF PLANS for Bearospace boats are available from Bearospace Industries:

DACRON SAILS for all the Bearospace boats are available from sailmaker Rod Carr:

The hull construction is plywood over bulkheads, very much like the other Bearospace boats. What sets the Cutter apart from the other Bearospace boats is the sail plan which has 2 (or 3) overlapping headsails. These headsails require a second winch system below decks. The skipper must pull the headsails around to the other side each time the boat tacks, creating a whole new level of involvement for the Skipper when sailing.

I first saw your videos about 3 to 4 years ago when the dark age of Covid and lockdowns kept the world in suspense... thank you very much for your videos, which brighten up my days

Easily the best construction video I have ever seen. Plans ordered!

Thanks for these extremely informative and helpful videos on scratch model boat building. They have been a real eye opener to me and I am amazed how clever and practical your approach to doing things is.

Hi Gary, a few weeks ago I found your videos about your sailingboats. GREAT !!!! I love the way you are building your boats and the way you present and comment your videos. Actually I do a restauration at a sailing-bota called INGA IV which is about 45 years old. As a young boy I had not the money for this boat. 4 weeks ago I bought a secondhand INGA. Thanks for your tip to make the plankinglines with a ballpointpen, it works and look great. Hope you are well and you will have lots of fun with sailing your boats. greetings from Germany, Michael :-)

@jensnitsche4994 Год назад

Eben genauso gedacht ..., hatte bei meinem Modell noch die Plankinglines geritzt und dann mit schwarzem Nähgarn ausgelegt und mit Mattlack fixiert. War ziemlicher Aufwand. Ein Unterschied in der Optik zu einfachem Kugelschreiber nicht feststellbar. Warum kommt man nicht selbst auf solche praktische Lösungen ? 🤷‍♂

@LaurieBurrow Год назад

Hello Gary, I'm part way through building 'Flyer' - the plans are great. Looking at your video I think I see that you have put a glass fibre skin on the inside of the hull. Your instructions don't mention that - is it for extra strength or a good finish? Many Thanks

@sailtails2775 Год назад

Thanks for asking about this. Sorry about the confusion. Although it appears to be fiberglass cloth, it is not. The plywood I used had an embossed surface on its back side which gives it that appearance. This is not a feature I chose, it just happened to be that way on this inexpensive plywood which was found at my local Home Depot store. The only place I used fiberglass on Flyer is the inner surfaces of the fin trunk and the outside of the rudder. All the remainder of the boat is sealed with clear penetrating epoxy sealer then painted / varnished with brushed on oil based products.

@martinmeasures829 3 года назад

Gary, just before you fix the two side of the fin housing together I noticed there is an area that looks as though there is no epoxy, it's a strip corresponding to where you will glue and fix the sides, can you explain how and why that is please? Do you use a specific grade of glass and how many layers please? Sorry so many questions its just that I want my build to be perfect, just like yours. Martin 😀

@sailtails2775 3 года назад

The sides are glassed over completely. The strip you see is where I have roughed up the surface with 100 grit sandpaper to improve adhesion when epoxy gluing the trunk together. I use just one layer of glass. It is fairly lightweight, actual weight unknown. It was the only glass to be found here in Ensenada Mexico and the merchant was unable to tell me the weight. The weight is not critical for we are just using it to create a waterproof layer and not for structural strength. Happy boat building Martin, just sent schooner 'Annie' plans your way.

@Johnny-tt8zc 4 года назад

Beautiful,just ordered plans. Are you going to be doing other videos for this boat? Is this made from “door skin “ as well? I can’t get it at the box stores around my area.

@sailtails2775 4 года назад

I do intend to make more videos about this boat. 'Door Skin' yes, though 'Flyer' is actually made of 1/8" Pine plywood which I just happened to find locally (Mexico). Almost any plywood could be used for these boats if not more than 1/8" (3 mm) thick. Check with cabinet makers in your area if the stores don't have it.

@rogersymes9510 3 года назад

Sorry about the p!!! What I was gonna say was I’ve just brought the plans for Annie and I won’t to add deck planking as I don’t know the scale what size planking would be to scale? Thanks

@sailtails2775 3 года назад

No problem Roger, 'P' excused. There is room for imagination when it comes to the scale of any of the Bearospace boats. I like to think of 'Annie' at a scale of 1:12 which would make her a 58 foot (18 meter) boat. At that scale, deck planking could be about 1/4" - 5/16" (6 - 8 mm) wide.

@eipelay6829 Год назад

Hello, what kind of glue you used for that fin trunk after fiberglass. CA or Silicon ?

@sailtails2775 Год назад

5 Minute Epoxy. Note that the fiberglass is set in epoxy resin, and the surfaces to be glued with epoxy are first sanded lightly to enhance adhesion.

what thickness of ply do you use on your models i am making a sloop but a little bit lighter and more narrow than emma

@sailtails2775 3 года назад

I use so called 1/8" ply for all my boats. Often it is actually not quite a full 1/8" thick.

@cawaynesti 4 года назад

I’m curious, when cutting out the templates, do you cut to the outside of the line? Do you then cut the plywood to match exactly the template including the line? Thanks in advance.

@sailtails2775 4 года назад

Center of line or outside of line - no matter. Use the same technique throughout the project, everything will fit. I cut the templates center of line, and cut the plywood to match the template.

How do you make your epoxy fillets so even and tidy? Give us a tutorial please.

@sailtails2775 4 года назад

Hi Robert, I dab the epoxy in place with a stick or a screwdriver, then trowel it out smoothly with a "tool" which is simply a scrap of thin plywood sized and shaped (rounded end) to give the desired radius to the fillet. You will want to make several "tools" with different radius ends to fit the various angles inside the hull. Gary

@robertrussellmd 4 года назад

@@sailtails2775Thanks for your answer. Do you wet the tool with any sort of solvent or use the tool dry?

@sailtails2775 4 года назад

@@robertrussellmd - I use the tool dry, cleaning it frequently with a bit of lacquer thinner.
