    Default AURASTEL 90 motor sailer, TAA CATALINA

    I shaped the hull for this yacht 37 years ago & hadn't touched it since other than when moving house, when one of my kids asked what happened to it I got the urge to finish it.

    Both of these are very fine models.

    How did you do the hull was it using blocks or did you frame and plank it.

    both laminated blocks, shaped & hollowed, plane sliced in half hollowed and then glued together.
