  • i`ve seen got auxilliary keel, I wonder if exact scale would be viable for sailing, mean w out aux keel and other stuff

  • @mig15fan

    It can be done but I found out the hard way that you must use enough ballast to counter the forces to prevent a capsize and the artificial keels counter the forces better!

    You will need to build a bigger boat and ultralight yet strong.

    I got a few boats that can go in very shallow water without dragging or catching anything but I find them useless on a very windy day....The big keel offsets the usual storms and is a detail that can be overlooked and in some cases, detached!

  • im lookin for some plans for a model of the bluenose, if anyone knows where i could get them it would be greatly appreciated

  • @xXwoollyXx

    Sorry I have no Blue prints of that ship...This model is based on various photographs and is my version of the blue nose!

  • @xXwoollyXx Ive got a set of lines plans for the original. If you're interested check my earlier post ( 1 week ago ) for my email addy

  • xwooly if you're interested I have a set of lines plans for the original Bluenose

    Often thought of building a model of her, but I don't think my skills would do her justice. You're welcome to what I've got, just one request: if you do build her,please post pics or a video for us.

    My email: purplebobfrog@yahoo.ca

  • the real blue nose has 2 masts but I pushed it to a 3 masted vessel because I always wanted to. I dont know if the blue nose had any top sails as it was schooner gaff rigged. this model just happens to look very much like blue nose.

  • lol true that.

  • Hey I will take a genuine offer.

    If I actually get a real offer I will consider it but So far I will only offer schooners and not pirate ships because If they malfunction or the rigg gets gummed up I am probablly the only guy that could fix it so this is why I would rather sell to say Locals that I race and meet. These type of ships require seamanship and a little bit of model building skill because you will never know if you need to stain it again!New captains must be able to repair them.
