    Chugalone,

    We launch the boat by hand, hull in the water first then superstructure on top. Sadly we have a small leak that produces about 20ml of water for 45 mins of running. Don’t know where it’s coming from but hopefully will be resolved. The carry box I the smallest it can possibly be but is still very big and awkward to carry!

    Thanks,
    Henry

    Geners:
    Wow—what an absolutely stunning model! The level of detail is incredible. I love the super-secure carrying case you built for it; it really shows how much passion and care you’ve put into this model.

    I do have one big question though: how do you launch it? 🤔
    Do you use some kind of special harness?

    She's lovely 😍. The only experience i have with lifeboat's was being rescued by one when i had a leak in my real yacht. A beautiful sight real and in model form. Always brings lots of attention on the club pond.

    Regards
    Scott
