Lapwing 4 Islay

[Richard Whitney CS#70]

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.

Looks very good mate. Good luck with finishing her. Does she have a name?

[Richard Whitney CS#70]

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)

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

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.
