Richard Whitney CS#70 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 It is the last day of 2014 here in New Zealand - 2015 will see Lapwing 4 finally completed. I have ordered a trailer and hope to have her finished within the next 4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennieG Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Looks very good mate. Good luck with finishing her. Does she have a name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Whitney CS#70 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 She will be named Islay - an island off the Scottish coast where my favourite peaty malt whiskey is make ( a drop will go on the bow when she is launched) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickG Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 A few months ago there was a posting concerning the bulding of Blue Peter, a Lapwing B & B design. I can no longer bring it up. In fact, the "Internet " says they can't find it. My reason for wanting to look at it is that I am compteplating having a glued lapstreake boat built, but the plans indicated frames. It would seem to me that a glued (epoxy) boat would not need frames?????? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mick Here is the Blue Peter website, http://www.teamturpin.org/john/lapwing3.htm The builder did a nice job but ended up selling the boat after only sailing it for a short time.
