About this boat

Black Bess was built in 1984 when R/C was 27Mhz. Sail winch and rudder. All frames were 5mm plywood salvaged from the bottom of surplus RAF bedside table draws. 3/32 plywood skinning. transport courtesy of Richard Blizzard. I found the sails and rigging this morning

    Interesting boat, I like the idea of the timber to build her coming from old furniture etc. For a chine boat of that vintage, I like her shape and imagine she would sail quite well. I like the 'display stand' too, shows imagination.

    Cheers, Nerys
