About this boat

My Gaff Rigged Bristol Pilot Cutter started life as a static display model which I recently adapted for " Radio Control " . With extra sealing inside and out, she is seen here on her inaugural trial sailing - checking balance / trim /steering and simple sail control.
Certainly no claims here on scale or workmanship ! - just a " fun and functional " model which more than satisfies my initial challenge ! .

    Very evocative photo.
    Congratulations on the successful first test in the water. This beautiful naval model deserved more photos.

    That's the way, convert the statics to RC. She looks as if she would sail well, The Bristol Channel Pilot Boats were lovely sea kindly craft, able to perform their duties in the worst of conditions that frequently occur in the Bristol Channel and seawards of Lundy, their happy hunting ground.

    Cheers, Nerys
