This is a scratch build from a plan designed by Basil Hardy and purchased last year. Its inspiration is from a photograph of Charles Fildes 'Fairy Queen' in the archives of the Windermere Nautical Trust.
I chose it following a gift of a Meccano steam engine which was the power for Basil Hardy's paddle steamer. These lakeland steamers were very much family possessions. The plans include a design for the drive unit as well as the hull.

The photos have loaded out of sequence but hopefully they are OK. It is a flat bottomed hull creating a minimal draft as would have been necessary on the lake where it would have been beached for picnics in the summer months.
