Pilot Boat Page 3

The creation of the pilot boat proceeds ...

The following pictures display the state of erection at 19/03/2006.
bulkheads at the building slip Hull, decks and superstructure are colored meanwhile only some glue connections need to be smoothed. That means they need to be filled and sanded. 
bulkheads at the building slip Currently I'm working on the manufacturing of the davits. The picture beside displays the davits  and the winch for lifting the dinghy at starboard. The hoists are manufactured of brass profiles and ply wood. The sheaves are manufactured from beech wood.

bulkheads at the building slip The transfer boats are temporary deposited at the poop deck due there is still a lot of work left to fabricate the davits.

... and nearly finished!

(November 2009)

bulkheads at the building slip Some smaller works are still left. The flags are already ordered and the clear coating is still missing. 

The dinghies meanwhile have been fastended at the davits. The dust at the poop deck shows that it's high time for launching the ship. 

... and someone obviously forgot to close the door to the bridge. Hopefully the master won't get angry :) ...
