Default Vintage Marblehead Resurrections... The Sun Wind and the Riptide

Hi everyone,

I've been busy lately trying to resurrect two old Vintage Marblehead (VM) designs from the 1940's and '50's. The Sun Daze, which is now called the Sun Wind, and the Riptide. They were two very successful boats from back in the day.

Just completed a test hull based on my 3D model of the original lines. Was able to get the frames laser cut, and the test hull worked out well. So now I'm building the entire thing for real. If you'd like to see pictures, please see my blog that I update occasionally at www.rcmodelyachts.com.

Here is how my frames look... this is the first of 9 sheets.



Thanks,

Steve
