Kathryn - a Thames Bawley - 13

Regretably I have decided to part company with Kathryn. The boat that is, not my wife. I am looking to dispose of the larger, less manageable boats from my collection to make life a little easier for me. The Sea Queen has gone to a new home in Southport, and now the Thames Bawley to a member of Kirklees Model Boat Club. The new owner has exciting new plans for her so I will be keeping a watch on developments.
It is quite sad to part company with a model that I have spent so many hours in making and sailing but comforting that she is now in good hands. 😉

    Yes Alessandro, it is complicated. I have a complicated plan. I want to try the more basic version using the existing fitting but with a few bits renewed to lower friction and if that works well I may move to the more permanent even lower friction version (that will involve two new through deck fittings). Im not going to try and explain it. If I ever do it I will show you.

    You managed to upload the video Ned, it looks very good.

    I really appreciated the video, considering that you were controlling the boat and filming at the same time, I wouldn't have been able to do it.

    It sails very well and can turn excellently, congratulations to the pilot and the builder of this boat.

    When you want more videos they will always be appreciated.

    I noticed that some water comes up on the deck (when it gets a crosswind and is very inclined).
    Did you find some water in the hold?
