Cubbage Wood got her rudder hung today. Beefy bronze hangings were cast at Bristol Foundry to our patterns. The blade and tiller are oak. A boat always feels much more alive when the rudder goes on...
Steerage!
Cubbage Wood Update
Clearly time I updated the news on Cubbage Wood. To re-cap she's a 25' 5 ton Junk rigged sloop. Her owner and I selected, felled and planked trees from his own wood. That timber is now boat!
We've made the sail - a whopping great 400 sqft. I think it will look great set on her beautiful douglas fir mast.
Since completion of the planking, her deck has been laid over grown oak framework, oak cabinsides and sole fitted and single length toerails and caps, also in lovely figured oak. She's also been painted a really lovely shade of green.
