Hi Mike, and well done that looks incredibly realistic on the water, and a joy to watch it go through its paces, great stuff, and a job well done and the exhaust smoke and water is a nice touch and adds a little extra realism. Regards, Gary.

Well done Mike, very nice job. looks like you have it well sorted. Smoke/ water system is working well by the looks of it (Graham and I will be sending you an invoice in the mail๐) Certainly well worth installing it, adds that bit extra to the model. The weight you were worried about doesn't seem to be worrying it too much either, makes a realistic wash๐.

Although you had a problem i bet it still felt great to see her on the water and to be out of lockdown.
It is nice to see your new club think about the older person and how he/she can put there boats in and out of the water. It looks a nice place to go. Martin555. ▲

Having been away from this admirable web site for a few years doing something else, I have missed following Mike's story in building his Fire Boat. There is probably not a better one built or such a comprehensive blog of the journey to its completion and I can see why it has taken three years to do. He should be very pleased with his achievement and of displaying the art of the engineer, that I fear is being lost with the younger generations, who have not been brought up with meccano and model making with bits of wood and metal.
Well done from an admirer. ▲

Hi Mike.
They look a great deal stronger that the white metal ones ๐. When you're detaching the ropes to lower the mast it's good to know that nothing fragile is going to break ! BTW.

Thanks for the nice comments but I think Rob hit the nail on the head, so I've stopped building and declared the boat finished and I will put it aside until were allowed to sail again.
My club is allowing sailing now with added rules to maintain the social distancing (only 1 person etc.), however since its a 40 mile round trip I'll be waiting until normal service resumes. ▲
