I was looking at some files that Gantu sent to me the other day and doing some idle calculations on the November. The hull width at 1/96 scale is 82.29mm and, I happened to have a piece of 82mm drain pipe in the shed. I've never built a pipe boat before but I decided to give it a go. Some plywood templates, a bit of glue and a lot of sanding later - this emerged. Might actually work out too.

You *******!
Just when I thought I was out, you drag my fat-ass back in!
Must have one! Who do I have to kill to get one of these NOVEMBER's?
Can I give you a hand with the propellers, masts, and control surfaces and SD? I assume you will make the sail a part of the upper hull?

You bet you can. How luckey was it to find an old drain pipe that is EXACTLY the right size? Not sure about the sail yet; I'm still dealing with the lower stern transition to the rudder post. I don't have a good photograph of that at this stage. I'll send you a set of the plans that I have so that we are working off the same datum. Hurrah!Comment

Hey hardrock! If i understand correctly, you are talking about the transition from that "fin" on the upper stern to the lower rudder section? It is of a more classic design, the fin part features a triangular diameter followed by a slight inward pull before continuing to follow the straight line of the rudder. I can honestly say i am a November "groupie". If you like, pm me your the construction plan you are using so i could look over the details. Regards, JörgComment

Papa around November.
Had the Good fortune to visit Scott today. He probably would have preferred to be in the pool instead of talking to me
however It was good to catch up. This November is going to be great. It's a nice size I just wish it was a bit wider to take the
cylinder I have for the Papa.

About the same size as my november. Hardrock, thx for the blueprint. Know that one, some errors.ill see that i have another plan sent to you

Ps from what i can see so far, the stern upper deck needs to bend slightly down towards the waterline on the last half just before the aft fin. 2nd, the rudder excess needs to be higher, the model looks too much like type xxi. November has a high but rather short rudder, rectangular, not square.Last edited by JHapprich; 12-30-2018, 08:12 AM.Comment

Thanks Mate. Those sections or the rear are invaluable. I can see from them that the rear slops down just a little and that the plan view, as depicted in the drawings that I have is all wrong - too narrow overall and wrong front end entirely. The rudder hole is only half cut out; I didn't want to go ahead and start removing foam befor I had a reasonably accurate idea of what the stern really looked like. I'm quite capable of messing it up on my own so I might as well start with real drawings!

Yep. It sure seems that way. Jörg sent me a GREAT drawing of the rear showing the appropriate cross sections. Needless to say I'm in modicication mode right now. I went down to the local post shack (it really doesn't qualify as a proper post office) this morning to send off the drawings, including Jörg's new ones, to you but the bloody post shack is closed for the postman's picknic!!! Who knew that popstmen - and postgirls I guess, had picknics? Anyway the're open next year so I'll get it to you soonish.Comment
