A study in sterns


A study in sterns

Havin a wee break from building. House for sale?...... Rapidly runnin out o space.  Interesting comparison with the Fifie 'Bruces' with her chain driven rudder.  The transom stern of 'Sharlyn' BA193 (still waiting completion of refit) and the bulky cruiser stern of Alexanders. It's only when building that the differences in building techniques become apparent. What was easiest?  Dunno because I have been learning all the way through and perhaps the harder builds have been offset by acquired knowledge and skills. The prettiest by far is definitely the canoe stern of the ring netter 'Girl Jean' which has yet to join the fleet. Got a weeks hols coming up and that should accelerate the Girl Jean considerably to join her sisters. Alan D has been nagging me about my dock (to be).  We'll see.
