About this boat

Built from a semi-kit, she is based on MASB 23, with a BPB 63' long hull.
I found it greatly therapeutic and satisfying to plank the deck - for the plank around the edge, I used flexible beech, expensive but does the trick, I think.
I used Lifecolor acrylic paints applied with a brush throughout.
I purchased the figures from Deans and you will see that the skipper is trialling the new 'cell phone', which he is holding in his left hand. (If any of you can identify this item as anything else, answers on a postcard............).

    Thanks Pete. I got this (and the HDML, also soon be in harbour), from a guy called Rob Fowler. He is very much a one man band but produces very good quality grp hulls and vac formed plastic deck houses etc from home.
    He can be contacted at rob4boats@yahoo.co.uk.
    Cheers

    Just kidding - they saw some stiff action in WWII - against some very large ships. Seem to remember there was one particular captain ? who carried out some pretty amazing exploits......
