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,
hock:
hock:
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.
hock: 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:
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.

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!
