Sumpter 250's 2014 Summer Scratchbuild Continuation:
#25
I had this schooner up on a shelf above the computer, and "The, as yet not rigged, River Sloop" just behind it. I happened to look up and saw Three Masts, Confusedhock: Icon_twisted Confusedhock:

Next ship for the *Seaport Village and Museum* ?? - - - a scale 112' Length Over All (l.o.a.) "Tern" ( 3 masted Schooner ). She'll be a scale 70' at the waterline, with a 23'-6" beam, and, - - - - - I just finished the "lines drawings".
I'll be scratch building this one, as a waterline model ( like the "Wind Rider" ),but Plank-On-Frame, instead of, on an existing plastic kit hull.
Confusedhock: I realized that I have never built a "Tern" before, and She'll fit just perfectly, at that same area of the seawall where the photo of "Wind Rider" was taken. ( I just might moor "Wind Rider" outboard of the Tern ( haven't picked a name yet, but am leaning towards calling her "Grace Bailey" which is the former name of the two mast schooner "Mattie", that sails out of Camden Me. ) (( The Grace Bailey was built in Patchouge, N.Y. about 15 miles East of where I grew up ))
I just might get the River Sloop rigged, somewhere in the process.
:oops: Wink If I ever recover from this "bout" of "Sea Fever", I just might get back to finishing the Shipyard's, 3' gauge, outside frame, 2-6-6-2. Big Grin
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
