A Beginners Vessel

Testing the water with this one as although i enjoy building boats from scratch i also enjoy designing them and printing them which takes up many many hours.

I'm still indecisive to what it should be called as in my eyes it's not a flat plan build so cannot be classed as scratch built.

So here she is. Her name is "Le Boat" and a very small just under 26cm long very basic mock up multiple old french trawlers i was basing her on.

The idea behind her was to provide newcomers to our club a very basic, cheap and easy to glue together model that the first timer would still be proud of.

They still have to paint and fit the running gear so it's a short but positive learning curve that will hopefully have them wanting to progress from there.

The actual model is right now printing and will be finished in 20 hours so will update how she will really look then.

Motor 280-380
10-15amp esc
9g servo though smaller might work just as well
2s li-ion 800mah

Will probably print some netting along with a couple of sailors for the deck, maybe a box of fish though will see how she comes out 🤞
