The restoration of Silvervingen is in overdrive at the moment. Fredrik is doing everything in his power to get the Oregon Pine deck in place before it gets too cold for the epoxy to set. Amazing work as always. Enjoy the pictures.
My brother is currently working full speed ahead on the deck of SWE31 Silvervingen. Beautiful craftsmanship as always. Posting a couple of pics from the past week.
It has been some time now since my last post, and my brother has made great progress on his restoration of his 6mR SWE 31 Silvervingen. Pictures show first layer of deck plywood, before and after painting (underside).
My brother has made big progress the last couple of weeks on his 6mR restoration of SWE 31 Silvervingen. The first plywood layer (6mm) is soon ready to be permanently fitted to the deck beams. The underside is painted white but does not show in these pictures. Since Blogmaster threw his Canon G9 in the baltic while being a sailing instructor two weeks ago, these pics where taken with my trusty old Canon G5 from 2003.
My brother shoot a couple of new pictures today of his restoration of SWE 31 Silvervingen. He spends a tremendous amount of time hand planing the deck beams to align with the three dimensional surface "called the deck". Hours spent getting it all aligned that no one will ever recognize... unless they read this blog that is...
My 8 year old Nephew Gustav and myself have been building this RC sail boat during the past winter. Some work still to be done to the rigging and sheet system, before we take it apart for paint. Nice boat that will carry quite a bit of sails. We plan for it to be a light air missile.
Brand new pictures from yesterday afternoon showing the shroud plates and deck beams installed in the boat. Beautiful workmanship as always. Next to be installed are the two crew cockpits. New pictures will be posted when they are installed.
My brother has spent the past 1.5 months building this internal framework. Beautiful craftsmanship as always. He is now waiting for temperatures to rise above 10 degrees C, allowing him to mount this assembly on the boat. The shrouds will be connected to the mast foot with adjustable rods. The design is light and very strong. The reinforcement knees are made from Acid proof stainless steel and polished to a high gloss finish. I'm very impressed and proud of the work my brother is doing with his boat/restoration.
