The Hayling Hoy of 1759 is aimed at the first time scratch builder or for the experienced modeler who is looking for a small project in-between major builds. The framing is based on volume one of the Fully Framed Model ( the Swan series) and this book will be a big help for anyone tackling this project.

Hoys were small craft used for many tasks in harbor or as small passenger and light cargo carriers along England’s East Coast. This 8 ˝”x 11” hard cover book is 200 pages long with hundreds of illustrations, an eight page color section and 3 sheets of plans. Whether this will be your first plank on frame model or just a fun project the Hayling Hoy is right for you.
























Conclusion

Great book for everyone who wants to build a Hayling Hoyl from scratch or to optimize a kitbased build.

Great little ship. Best of all for me is that it has no guns. I have the book, but haven't built it as I am still wary of tackling the various angles on the transom.

I will do a review soon. But be aware that MSW & NRG are already accusing it as "pirated" from Antscherls Book (what it is not). As usual without proof.
