Re: Build #179 to start
A little more progress. Decks glued and screwed on now but not completed yet. Filling, sanding and glassing the foredeck yet to come.

Hi Bruce,brucemoffatt wrote:Hi all,
I have a very cheeky question for the SCA peoples: I have access to a large CAD plotter/printer. Is there any chance of getting access to files so I can print out full-size templates of the components? PDF or STEP or etc? Bit of a big ask, I know, but if the answer is no I lose nothing, if yes I gain about two weeks progress.

I understand that you ordered plans already printed on paper. I ordered them (#334) one week ago in .pdf format and received them as an e-mail attachment. I imported files in Corel Draw and printed them out to scale in order to build a paper model. Corel files (.cdr) can be used even for CNC routers so I think you could save even more time. Also I think (I did not try yet) that Autocad could import .pdf files.

Oooops, this message comes a bit late for you. Only after I clicked on "Submit" button I noticed the date of your message. Anyway, congratulations for the progress on your build and maybe the info I offered could be usefull for others

Re: Build #179 to start
A quick progress report of romana's build. I'ts only four weeks to the third anniversary of when I first received my plans. I'm hoping to have something worth looking at by then.

It is coming along nicely Bruce. Three years isn't too long don't rush a good thing.

Re: Build #179 to start
Another quick video to show that it's starting to come together. Still lots to do to get the boat in a state where I can put her aside and work on rigging, foils, trailer and stuff, but it is looking quite boat-like now. This was taken in poor light conditions so it's grainy.

Re: Build #179 to start
I have prepared Romana as best I can for the third birthday party, to be held on Saturday 10th October. Here's a quick video that shows how much got done in time and a bit of the bits that are still left to do.

Re: Build #179 to start
Well done, Bruce! Romana is looking very sweet, and you're not far from splashing her!! a couple of fittings, lash that sail on, and you'll be good to go! (hmm… didn't notice a mast, are you just hiding it?)
Cheers,
Dale

Hi Dale,
The mast is that white-painted stick hanging on the side wall of the shed, in the opening of the vid and from time to time peeping into the corner
