Re: A Whilly Tern in Oz
[QUOTE=PeterWidders;4952968]Tom - I purchased the plans from NIS Boats in Sth Aust. My understanding is that Iain Oughtred modified the initial design in 2003. Some of my plans have a date of '92 while others have '03.
Is this what you meant?
I was thinking more about wether you are planning to sail the Tern independently or combine with your other boats cruising plans.Comment

Re: A Whilly Tern in Oz
Tom - sailing plans are for mostly solo sailing (with a crewmember at times) . Maybe some sailing in company - depends who is around at the time.PeterWComment

Re: A Whilly Tern in Oz
A boat-like object is beginning to appear. Plank No 3 on the starboard side (5th of 8 ) was attached today.

Re: A Whiily Tern in Oz
Your build is really nice so far. Bringing back good memories. I built a Whilly Boat recently, and have been enjoying her immensely this summer.
Here's my build thread http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthre...+build+in+prov
Yours is looking much neater than mine though! Keep up the good work.

Re: A Whilly Tern in Oz
Thanks Graeme, Tom and Mike.
Mike - I have seen both of your threads( Whiily Tern and Ilur) and enjoyed them both. Always good to see how others have done it/are doing it.
Keep the pics coming.PeterWComment

Re: A Whilly Tern in Oz
More work today with the next plank glued up on the floor. This is #3 on the port side. Also started bevelling the 3rd plank on the starboard side and cutting the gains at bow and stern.
A view 'midships - plank 3 stbd side:
Here's a view from closer to the bow:
And here's the gain at the bow:
The plan is to finish the outside of the last plank on each side with a clear coating, with the last 2 planks inside with the same clear coating (poly varnish on clear epoxy.PeterWComment

Re: A Whilly Tern in Oz
A bit more work in the last few days: last plank on the starboard side is getting ready to go. Dry fitting at the moment.
Stern section of the plank shown here before sheeline was cut.
Another inside shot showing seams and the 'fail' on clean-up of the garboard glue line.

Re: A Whiily Tern in Oz
I see you're doing your scarfs on the boat , how do you find that ? Easy ? I wasn't game and made the full length planks on the bench first.I found a heat gun and scraper made cleaning up runs very easy.Good going Peter.'' You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know. ''

Re: A Whilly Tern in Oz
Thanks Peter. Actually to date all scarfs have been done off the boat - I am tossing up whether I will have a go 'on the boat' with the last 2: possibly not as they join on mould 4 - an area of high curvature and therefore stress . Also I want to get the scarf as spot-on as possible as both sides will be clear finished. Probably stick with joining on the floor with a board under the join area and good visibility of the outer side of the finished join.PeterWComment

Re: A Whiily Tern in Oz
That's what I did, it seems much more satisfactory and guaranteed to give a good result. I frankly can't see how I could get a good job on the boat !!'' You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know. ''
