Anyone
who intends to build a model yacht will rarely decide to do so spontaneously.
Perhaps they are tempted to build a model, or perhaps the desire for a quiet
hobby without noise and environmental pollution was the decisive factor. In any
case, considerations must be made beforehand. The question of materials plays a
major role.
In
this book, the author explains five different methods for building the hulls of
model ships - in this case sailing yachts - yourself. Starting with the
production of a GRP hull in positive-negative construction, the pure wooden
hull is also built over ribs, a Styrofoam hull form is sanded, a GRP hull is
planked with wood, and finally the ABS prefabricated hull of the 1-meter boat
"Miramare" is converted into a competitive model yacht.
The
cutting and processing of sails are described as well as the correct sail trim
that makes a competition yacht fast. A list of sources of supply makes it
easier for the interested model builder to access the necessary accessories.
Whoever
has read this book will certainly find the decision easier Perhaps also because
the building suggestions made here have been tried out by an expert. Several
models have been made only to demonstrate the construction methods, so that the
reader can better judge advantages and disadvantages from his own point of
view.
