I tell you what, sir. I've been to your website, and if you could find a way to get these parts lazer cut and/or stamped out, whoa the $$$ you could make. I'd buy one in a heartbeat!
My complete log of building this boat is at www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2550991.You can build this boat!
Excellent work! very inspiring. Do you have more building videos?
I would like to buil something similar but do not have the knowledge nor experience
I have created a few more building detail videos.
You can find them here: ua-cam.com/channels/C5wnKAdsEdnzAitf4H0XeQ.htmlvideos
The black hulled schooner which is the subject of this build video has been completed and can be seen sailing at youtube:ua-cam.com/video/8o2khrkM6EE/v-deo.html
Actually building a boat while inside a boat. and a really nice build too. The boats sails beautifully.
Thanks Frank, Such is life here, perhaps my big boat has become a "Mother Ship" ?
Cheers, Gary
Hi Gary,
I have a question regarding the double-gaff plan: it says that it uses the same foremast as the original but also (later) that it omits spreaders. Should I omit spreaders on both masts, or just the mainmast?
"Same foremast" refers to diameter, length & taper. Sorry about the confusion. Omit the spreaders on both masts for the all gaff version. This makes for a simpler rig, with 2 shrouds per side of each mast. Those 2 shrouds can be made up from 1 piece of twine which wraps around the mast sitting atop wooden "cheeks" glued to the mast. For a look at more rigging details of this schooner, see:

Well, it looks like 1/8" luan door skins are no longer available at the local box stores. The closest I can find locally is 5mm (about 3/16") "three-ply" flooring underlayment, which is made to be flat and not bend. Looks like I'm going to have to make my own 1/8" skins for the boats. I will try re-sawing on my bandsaw to get close and I thiiiiink my 12" thickness planer can get close to 1/8". I hope it works! I've been looking forward to starting on Irene this winter.
Hi Tony, don't give up too quickly on the search for 1/8" door skin. Finding it will depend somewhat on your location, that is , what part of the world you are in.
You might find it under another name, Home Depot in California calls it "utility ply". Check also with a local door making company. It does exist and is used not only for doors, but also by cabinet makers. Full size boat builders use it for making patterns.
Another source for 1/8" plywood, perhaps birch, is specialty (such as aircraft) wood suppliers or hobby supplier.
Lastly, you might pose the question to other builders on this RC model forum:

Hope this info helps,
Cheers !
@@sailtails2775 Thanks for your quick reply! I looked all over my local orange box store today and couldn't find it, but this evening, immediately after reading your response, I went online and searched for "1/8" utility plywood" and found it. I bought it online and was rewarded with a text indicating my order is ready for pickup....at the same store I was in this afternoon. On Monday we'll see if they really do have it. Fingers crossed! Thanks again.
Dear Gary, I fall on the second category, those pursuing "other projects"! I loved what I got for the 15 bucks! I've already scaled your masts/ rudder placement to fit the 90 cm (about 35 inches) fiberglass hull I ordered. I love the looks of gaff rigs, so I thank you especially for the notes on alternate rigging methods. You are a proactive mind, and provided me with a wealth of information. Now let's see how well I put them into my novice practice! I will keep you posted on the developments of the Irene-bis.
I'm happy to know the schooner plans will be helpful for your project Aharon. I hope we will see her sailing one day !
Is there a part two?
My little boat
beyond awesome
I just buy this plans.Lovely! if someone wanna send me some other plans .. ill be very happy
I see that you purchased the plans just a few moments ago, and the dropbox link has been sent to your email. so please check there. You should have them. just click on the link, and select the download option. Feel free to let me know if there are any hangups. fpvreviews@gmail.com
Best, Spike Webb (Gary's son) I handle the sending of the plans.
FPVREVIEWS I received the plans in 30 minutes. I'm very happy.. The plans are good.
@@FPVREVIEWS and you handle them smoothly, Spike. Thanks for my first ever dropbox experience (64 yo). Went to the printing shop, got it all printed in original sizes for two bucks. Two bucks! Great job, young man lol!
can irene be built with a gaff rigged mainsail
Yes indeed, the plans include a "Gaff option" sail plan with the gaff mainsail balanced by a longer bowsprit, giving her a total 1015 sq. in. of sail area, (165 sq. in. more than the original plan with the marconi main sail)
what happend to part 2 irene build
It happened in the form of several DIY videos which addressed sail control, sail making, block making, among other things.
Find these videos on the SailTails channel ua-cam.com/channels/C5wnKAdsEdnzAitf4H0XeQ.html
what paint was used at the build around 3:42?
The bare wood was given 2 coats of penetrating epoxy, followed by multiple coats of oil based primer (sanded between coats to achieve a smooth surface), and finally 3 coats of oil based enamel (gloss colors as desired)
Very interesting! What primer are you using? I'm building my own sailboat at the moment hence the strangely specific questions :)
the primer I used is made by Zinsser, called Cover Stain Primer - Stain Blocker - Bond Coat, oil based, interior/exterior
