Vintage Marblehead Construction Manual, version 1.4

Vintage Marblehead Construction Manual, version 1.4

ByStephen Deligan

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
This is a construction manual for how to build modern versions of classic 50" Marblehead Class RC sailboats from the 1930's to 1960's. They are made from available-for-purchase laser cut frames, wood strips, hobby plywood, epoxy and fiberglass. The main version of Marblehead sailboat profiled in the manual is the 1949 "Sun Wind". Occasionally mentioned are the 1950 "Rip Tide" and the 1933 "Wampum II", both of which can be built using similar techniques. This manual will walk you through all the steps; from purchasing and assembling the frames, planking the hull, working with epoxy, how to fiberglass, finishing, installing the electronics, setting up the rigging, and many other steps. This is NOT a kit! You will need to assemble all the parts, wood, fittings, electronics, and make many of bits yourself. In the end, you will hopefully end up with a beautiful model wooden sailboat that is perfect for RC sailing and racing, or for just displaying in your home.
