Sailboat FleetsThis is a featured page



The Solomons Island Model Boat Club (SIMBC) has a number of sailboat fleets. The Skipjack is our signature fleet and people from all over come to watch them sail at the Calvert Marine Museum http://www.calvertmarinemuseum.com/. These beautiful vessels are handmade taking numerous hours to do so. However, the club is a very diverse group and has expanded into other type sailing vessels as well. Some of the members sail these boats, of varying classes, in both local and national competitions.

Please refer to the tabs on your left to obtain detail of the sailing fleets.

Rockabye74 Boat Building Board 6 Dec 31 2008, 1:27 PM EST by Rockabye74

I have been debating trying to build a "Universal" boat building board. Here is what I am thinking so far. I was thinking of using the INCRA T-Tracks from Woodcraft. I would either have 2 or 3 tracks mounted about 4-6 inches apart, then build clamps that would be perpendicular to the table surface so that you could position the clamps at the frame locations and then lock them down. For the skipjack build, the clamps could be as simple as 3/4" pine or oak with 1/4" holes drilled in them for the T-Track bolts and nuts. The tracks would give you infinite adjustments for most boats. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions as I pursue this. Also any pictures of building boards would be appreciated as it may help me to understand the different frame mountings.
