Hull model (May 1988)

The model is scaled 1/2 inch to the foot and was shaped from glued up blocks of scrap RenShape 450 (a model making material that is used in the auto industry). We were fortunate that Columbia provided approximate hull lines in their sales brochure. The most difficult part was to get the paint lines straight and fine to within about 1/2 mm (0.02 inches).

The completed model, mounted on a display board, is show below.

This view shows the model and display board, as mounted in the boat on the port side of the forward bulkhead.
