Half Models of Castletownshend Ette

Add caption

Ever since we heard about half models at IBTC during our boatbuilding training, we've been talking about making some of our favourite boats. It's a really interesting process that definitely shows up flaws in the lines plan. For instance, we always found problems around station 4 during planking the real sized ettes. We were able to correct our lines plan from the finished half models.

This particular model will be a perpetual trophy for the overall winner of the Ette class at the Baltimore Wooden Boat festival.
