My First Model Boat
Hi shipmates,
My First Model Boat was built by my Father, the hull was made with two lengths of 3x2 inch wood, drilled out in the centre, with a large fast bit.
I was around 7 years old, went to Southchurch park in Southend on Sea to sail it, and it was faster than my Dad's yacht.
Unfortunately I no longer have it, nor do I have a picture of my first build at 14 years old which was a MTB 36ins long, it was built with quarter inch ply and had a large solid block of pine at the bow, and was very heavy, did about 4 mph with a 6v decaperm motor, which I still have.
Regards Roy
