About this boat

This boat is an unknown all-wood scratch built of an unusual prototype The Mocca class built by Thorneycraft at Chiswick they were the prototype of torpedo boats with a single locomotive boiler two torpedos in the tubes and two spares on the deck to the rear of the tubes
The motor fitted does not work so I have replaced this and the speed controller and radio the weakness of this model is that I have made a rudder as plan its a bit big to get caught up in pond weed😠

    well today at the lake the boat ran well ran well, improved the linkage to the rudder this version of a mocca class Thornycroft boat is similar to the one featured in the model boats magazine for December 2025

    That is a very sleek hull. How does she perform in a slop, ie, does she tend to roll?
