The challenge is to get the rust off the sails first and give them a clean. Will start off with lemon juice and sunlight, if that doesn’t work then acetone will be applied. As this one is deemed appropriate to sit in lounge it may be treated to new sails if I can’t get them clean.

I like the look of the yacht hull but the sails look rather sad. Do you plan on making new ones ?😐

Hi AndyB, it is a Jenny design from Model Boats Magazine from 1989, was reprinted in 2012 so I can access the reprint through the MBM archive.
As it happens I have a small fleet of Stars, think I’ve got 7 and a load of Bowmans and a miscellany of others (Ailsa, some unknowns and 3 1930s pond yachts for restoration). Think there’s about 20 pond yachts in house!

Hi Neil
Is your yacht project a Star boat from Birkenhead?

RodC, that one was a toy fair purchase a few weeks ago. Think it was built in the 1960s and had a Tayco torpedo motor.

Via the Bring Back Toy Boats Facebook group I’ve found out that the boat is a Douglas McGhee Jenny design from 1989, always nice to know what you’ve got.

Afraid I can’t refuse a free boat from Facebook (though every “free” boat I’ve had always costs money at some point of the restoration/rebuild!)
Collected a lovely project boat today, anyone recognise the design? Hull is 25” long with a 5” bowsprit.
Has been built nicely and comes with a pair of elderly servos that I need to test. The sails are a little rusty and all the rigging and lacing lines need replacing after I’ve cleaned the sails and cleaned up the many brass fittings. The keel is weighted with lead shot and the lady I collected it from said it has been sailed by her husband, but a number of years ago.
Nice to collect a boat that doesn’t require too much work to get it back on the water, would be nice to identify it.
