A satisfactory test Andy, very important, the model performs very well in the water.

Have made a final float test - with all the RC equipment on board. Using some pieces of metal, it was possible to check how much weight was needed to load the boat down to the water line. This weight will be made by casting some lead shot and fixed to the end of the "false" keel.

That's a fine and interesting model Andy. particularly interesting for me as it has some general similarities to my Fairey Fisherman build and that is powered by motor and sail.

Nice work Andy,
That is a lovely looking model that has great presence and it will look really good on the water.

Hi Andy, a beautiful model is coming out. I also did some pre-assembly with white cardboard sails.
Unfortunately, after cutting (although precise), sewing the inside seams and edges, the actual sails didn't look perfectly identical due to the curvature that inevitably occurs with natural fabrics like cotton.

Agreed all around.
Looks great and using that heavy fishing cord is super.

Hi Andy lovely job. I especially like that laminated gaff spar.
Doug I echo what you said about Nerys, she 'liked' one of my posts once, it made my day!

The rigging is made from fishing line. It’s sold as trace wire, used for sea and pike fishing, 50lb. It’s supplied with small tube crimps and I then used a piece of heat shrink to cover these.

Beautiful piece of work Andy - did you get the stainless rigging made, or have you the facilities yourself?
