Some ones got to build it!
Thought you guys might be interested.
Hull is King Billy, cold moulded.
I'm about eighteen months into it now and dont ask me how much longer!
She keeps me busy and gives me an excuse to go out to the shed and think of Fair winds etc........
She's a Waller 5.4 Hull, I plan to run a different ring but apart from that she'll be tru to plan.
What to ya think?

Mike Waller Yachts. Chech out his sight, more photos of other boats.
I would like to put more photos on this site but they take time to reduce to the right size. If any body wants some more send me a PM with an email address and I would be happy to.

Hi ScottyK!
What can I say? I'ts a boat; it's wooden - and she looks lovely already
I hope that you're going to either expoxy or plain varnish the hull?
Do you plan to make your own spars as well?
I'd be really interested in seeing more pice as work progresses.
Cheers

Bloody hell Scotty!! :eek: I can see a good long friendship starting here by gar!!
Mike Waller does do a nice hull design doesnt he? I was looking longingly at his trailer sailer cat for a long while... may just have to go back and have another look
I WILL see you shortly... then you will have to clean up all the drool I leave behind after my visit!!
Now I know why you are after the jarrah!!

Scotty,
I've not tried cold moulding but it sure makes a nice looking hull, none of these floating boxes with corners! How many plies thick did you make her? I know that King Billy is very light, but did you have to use thicker plies to get the strength, or did you glass her? The interior joinery looks great.
Cheers,
Graeme.

Could moulding does give a very nice finish and beats strip planking for weight control. One downer though, labour. My count for staples was 15,000 all driven using a hand stapler and removed using 1/4" chisel and nips. Fairing also takes some time.......I hate long boards! She'll definently be painted on outer hull and clear interior finish all round.
So much interest in this first thread on her I might just have to get motivated on the PC and put some more pics on WF for you.

So much interest in one post??? Mate!! you dare post a thread about the boat youve been building for 18 MONTHS with just 4 pics and dont expect our interest to be twigged??? I mean mamamaMAATE!!
She looks like she could be a wet ride though... and I thought Id nick a couple of pics from Mikes site to show what your building
And now Im again looking at his site Ive found that ruddy cat that keeps trying to bite me!! wonder how the missus would feel about me buyin a set?? nah bedda not!! :eek:
Cheers!
Oi!! I wasnt expectin that!!... so okay you now have my interest... Ive been watchin learning reading and listening for some years now about boatbuilding and have begun 2 boats in recent times not got too far but started but Ive got to ask... whats with the blue strips on the moulds in the first pic? or is it between the first and second layer and why?Believe me there IS life beyond marriage!!! Relax breathe and smile learn to laugh again from the heart so it reaches the eyes!!

Hi Scotty!
I still think it would be a shame to paint a hull that lovely!
Cheers!
