"There are many who insist that wooden boats have a soul; that, unlike their mass-produced sisters, they are living things. For the uninitiated, it is easy to be skeptical of such conceits, and to dismiss them as merely romantic notions. But that, I assert, is exactly the point, for romance is the engagement of the heart and mind and there are few contrivances as utterly engaging as boats built of wood. " -- Jonathan A. Wilson, WoodenBoat
"She looks so salty, it makes your eyes rust" ~ Jay Benford
"She's a wee bonny boat" -- Ian McColgin ( Frank's Weekender)
"Why in all of the art museums I have been to, have I not seen a form as beautiful, and as imbued with force as this single wooden ship?" -- Swoon
The Model
A Stevenson Weekender.
One of these days, I'll get around to building the full scall boat. But for now, this 13th scale R/C model will have to do. The boat sails well with separtate controls for the main sheet, jib sheet, and the rudder.
