    Hi all this model was scratch built using the free plan Sparkler as the basis. She is just over 16 inches long and has a 380 geared down 1 : 2.
    Unfortunately she was over-powered and on 6 cells only has 2 or 3 inches of the hull is in the water. I have slowed her down a bit but it is difficult to ballance the hull. Either the hull is climbing a hill or just splashing through the water. I built her in 1986 so she is getting on a bit. The pulpit is brass tubing and painted silver. The perspex wrap round screen was fractured a while ago and left for several years, then I decided to replace it and it is fine now.

    A great boat with a great history, and definitely an Icon both then and now. A very nice job on both the windscreen and the front pulpit rail, and a real pity we can no longer use IC engines. It is like watching F1 with electric motors, it looks alright but lacks the sound and smell of the real thing. Do the best you can under the circumstances it is a beautiful-looking boat. Regards Gary.

    It took me awhile to get my head around all the different types but eventually got it cracked!

    Hi I am sure you are right, always found the different versions confusing.
