Scratch built 1/24th Scale radio controlled model of well known Sprittie Coastal Barge built 1904 at Mistley on the river Orwell. Sailed for many years by Chub Horlock, one of the famous family of barge skippers, owners and barge racers of the period between the two world wars. Vigilant is currently (2014) being restored at Topsham in Devon. The model has no engine installed but sails beautifully. All sails are functional and can be reefed as required by wind conditions. (Motor: no engine installed) (ESC: none) (9/10)
