I'm a nut case lover of wooden boats. I have been repairing and renovating an old 40' timber Schooner. Built in Sydney for Allen Frazer in the 50's. Allen and his company made a lot of items forthe home market such as folding hangers. The boat is designed from plans written in MotorBoat 1926, by C.D.Mower. The old girl is very strongly built and sits in the water with grace, not ontop of the water like a cork.
I am also a secondary teacher and ex RAN Mobi 70's. I am always looking for things for my students to do and currently we are looking for model ship plans that we can use to creat half models and scale models.

G'Day, Welcome to a top forum "Marcus".
Most Objectionable Bastard Imaginable - What year did you join RANATE - HMAS Nirimba - July 72 was good......
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist and some "mess deck lawyers".....lol......
Make sure you keep showing off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP photos with build notes; you sound like you could be a chippy???.....
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork.
Cheers, crowie [stokers rule]
