153. Dinghy assembled and painted, sailing rig stowed and remaining items to be installed.


154. T e two dinghies ready to be installed onto the ship.


156. T e griping spars, built up from 1/16-inch square basswood strips, then carved and sanded to shape.


155. Modifi ed Aeronaut radial davits and RB Models rope reels. T e stays are fl exible steel wire rope, simulated with black thread.


supplies were added. T e stowed dinghy received a canvas cover lashed down with rigging thread. (Figures 153 and 154)


I modifi ed Aeronaut davits by adding a cleat, then building the pulley, rings, stays, block, bolts, and griping spar bracket onto each. T e rope reels are RB Model assemblies modifi ed with hand brake and bolt details; I wound on plenty of rope leaving lots of slack for the davit blocks. (Figure 155)


157. Finished griping spars with rope fenders. One is unfi nished where it will be glued to its brackets.


by the extended fo’c’s’le deck on modernized ships. I was going to make my boats from scratch until I discovered the Quaycraſt Royal Navy pattern sixteen- foot dinghy kit; exactly what I needed! (Figure 152) I painted them fl at white and detailed each with lines rigged around the gunwales. I displayed one covered and stowed and the other swung out; therefore I only needed to outfi t that dinghy. I built its mast with sails and boom, stowing the rig under the thwarts with the scratch-built tiller. Rings, oars, boathooks and


T e boats stow onto folding chocks made from scale lumber with styrene and wire details. T e griping spars are tapered Douglas fi r with a square section where they clamp into the davit brackets. I made mine per the Agassiz plans, built up from basswood strips. (Figure 156) T ey were fi nished like the model’s other wooden parts, with wood stain and clear orange paint. Rope wrapped around the center of the spar made a fender. (Figure 157)


I started the installation by epoxying the davit bases, reels, and chocks for the stowed dinghy to the port
