Here is my Zulu. She is approximately 70 years old and had been a static display model in a museum, church and community centre for many years. I spent some time carving deeper into her timber, fibreglass and metal hull to get low enough to line with lead in order for her not to capsize instantly. I fitted her out with a simple return to shore propshaft and 540 motor though that isn't used often at all unless we have no wind.
Her sails fly freely. There's no winches etc. A large 15kg high torque servo powers her rudder.
No stick on keel here she is as she would have been in real life. Sails majesticaly and has great presence wether sailing on the pond, river or at sea

The Zulu is a historic Scottish fishing boat, characterized by a steep, straight raked stern and a vertical stem, developed in 1879 in Lossiemouth. Combining the best features of Fifie and Scaffie types, these fast, carvel-built luggers dominated the North Sea herring industry in the late 19th century. They were known for their speed, power, and ability to carry large catches.
