@ChrisF the stairs between the launching platform and the winch have been modified and have a small launching platform just above the current water level. The winch rails have been extended by 1 metre so it’s not too bad.

Regards

@EdW Graupner Elke I have the build notes on my laptop. I had a kit and swapped it for another kit. Nice model.

As an aside the hull of the kit will do a lot of different boats a friend of mine made a Lilla Dan which came out 30% longer than the Billing kit. I now have the model and it looks great, no one ever guesses it started as an Elke!

@EdW that was me, Ron, who asked you if it sailed with sails only, though not having any sail control it’s limited. The sails could be preset and tied off. It doesn’t have a main sail.

I see that the water level is still low Ed.

Question from a while back

Some time back I posted some pictures of an open day at our club. Someone asked me about one of the boats, yesterday was the first time I saw it again. The answer to the question “does it sail on sails as well?” Is yes but only limited as it does not have sail control. It is a Graupner Fishing Cutter from the 60s or 70s that the owner has rebuilt
