About this boat

Purchased built (poorly) from a Metcalf Mouldings kit (River Star). Am gradually tidying up, refurbishing, modifying and adding detail. Delightful model to sail, well worth the effort. Handles well, even going astern. Sails at above scale speed (1/12th. scale) and needs the lead ballast added. Am thinking about using to tow a scale lighter for added fun an excitement!

Have now refurbished and renamed 'River Otter'. Have also built a Thames Lighter to tow. Will put details up on site soon. (Motor: Torpedo 500) (8/10)
