Charlie Jones Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 Here's Travis's pics of various gallows designs - Taken from Sailors Sketch book, by Bruce Bingham [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin] Quote
Craig Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 Thanks Charlie! This thing is going to be a balancing act on such a small boat. Too tall and it will look like hell. Too short and it is worthless. Then there is the main sheet rigging. This almost begs for a block on the coach roof center so the main sheet could pull straight back, but, there is no where to mount it where it doesn't foul something else. Ah, the 175% Vac??? Thanks again for the drawing... v/r Craig Quote
Charlie Jones Posted February 11, 2003 Author Posted February 11, 2003 hope it helped - but you should thank Travis - he scanned the page and emailed it to me- I just posted it. Quote
Travis Votaw Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 Craig - Charlie served as the midwife on this one. It would never have been posted without his help. I have a box full of trivia like this that I have saved over the years. I have been interested in small boats and boating ever since my mother dug a pond in the back yard for me about 60 years ago. You guys are most kind. I appreciate the way everyone says " please and thank you" Quote
Johannah Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 When I download the jpeg gallows pictures the computer tells me that the file cannot be openned because it is corrupted. Any ideas. Redid it 3 times. Quote
T. Nelson Surbrook Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 It's intresting how corruption in a file makes it useless. Just like people!! Quote
Travis Votaw Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 Johannah - Maybe there are some things a pastor is just not supposed to see.... just kidding. The file opens OK for me, but you can tell that I'm illiterate when it comes to using my computer, since I posted my last response twice and don't know why. Quote
Phil Gowans Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 This picture has been around alot, but I had to have the boom gallows pointed out to me once. Perhaps you haven't noticed it before either. Quote
Craig Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 You are right Phil. I have seen this a hundred times and never noticed the gallows. Are there any close ups of the stren to study? From this perspective the scale looks perfect. Thanks... Quote
JMetzner Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 Phil! Hey! Haven't seen anything from you in a long time. I've tried to access your website off an d on over the last few months and couldn't get there (pragdata.com?). Welcome back! John M. Quote
Phil Gowans Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 That pic is from http://www.stevproj.com/WkndrBBB2.html - page 2 of builder pictures. It is attributed to Bob Jones of Lantana FL. There are only 2 pictures of his beautiful boat that I know of. The Stevensons say that it has a 3 position boom crutch (whatever that means). I have mostly been lurking around for the last while. :pirate: My web site was down for a few weeks but has been up most of the time. Try the WWW at the bottom - It should work. Quote
Johannah Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Phil, leave it to you to have a way cool small pic of cap'n and boat for your sig. Nice to hear your voice again. I regularly mosy over to your site to see what you're up to and have sent a number of folks over as well. 8) Quote
Frank Hagan Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 I love the sketches in the Sailor's Sketchbook from Bruce Bingham. I included one of his sketches in our article on scarfing rubrails at http://www.messing-about.com/weekender/scarf.htm. And I noticed its on sale right now from Amazon.com for anyone who's interested (you can buy through our link, which helps support the site, or you can take the ISBN number which is found in the URL when you go to our "review page" for it and order it from your local bookseller). Here's the link to our "review page" on it: Sailor's Sketchbook Quote
Johannah Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 Thanks, Frank. I went over and ordered one with a gift certificate left from Christmas. Quote
