Well Roy at least she does not come apart on her own. I not too long ago tried to turn a hand-carved hull into a salmon troller. Couldn’t get enough ballast in the extremely buoyant hull to prevent it from rolling over at even the thought of a turn. After I gave up someone suggested attaching pieces of lead flashing directly to the hull next to the keel. Too late for me to try since I converted it to a display model. A metacentric height lesson.🤔

Hi all, the next one was Noggsund. This is another ferry in the Scandanavian area. My one was made from obechi not balsa and she was too top heavy and refused to sail upright. Mea culpa. Long think and I sawed her into 2, then extended her by 8 inches (one third). This enabled me to insert some extra lead low down. Changed her character completely and I made up a kit of parts to complete her
I made everything look right and the insides remained the same and she sailed delightfully. She comes apart but you have to know how.

Hi Roy.. It was Glyn Guest who revitalized my interest in Model Boats In 1999, with his PT 109, Elco 80 footer, after somewhat 40 years lay-off since 1958. It was was the full build description and pictures that accompanied the plan in Model Boats magazine. People frown upon Balsa Wood for model boats but the majority of my builds in the early 2000's were Balsa Wood, and some are still around and sailing, with no leaks lol..
Pic's show the original 1/32 nd scale and a Blown-up version at 1/24 th scale, the 24 th scale was with all the original sizes of wood for keel and hull skins, powered by 2 x 540 direct drive motors, just about managed to get a scale looking speed on the 24 th but the 32nd was lively.. ATB Muddy ( Brian )

Where or how do you obtain these plans from Glynn Guest. I googled his name and got an Amazon hit for a book! Are the plans within his books?
Thanks
Chris
