Response by Yngvegr on the 12th May 2018

Nice one! I remember this from when I was a kid! We're talking 1973-ish :)

Nautic on the water has not yet been but everything is ready to just put the battery and swim

Nice job👍 Beautiful decking!
Crazing on the white hull looks similar to the problem I had with the clear lacquer on my Sea Scout. Surface stress?🤔
What did you use for paint / lacquer?

Response by Smaragd on the 24th Jan 2019

nice job to your Nautic.
I have a complete set 'new in box' including accesoires still waiting to come alive.

Lovely looking boats and you sound as if you had a great time in Plymouth too.

Response by Baggie on the 5th Feb 2018

Is this for sail or just for info?

Response by watson220 on the 10th Feb 2018

The model is supplied from two sets of sails

Response by Donnieboy on the 31st Jan 2018

the deck looks great.I couldn't find a person in your area
to help with the lines and mast setup

Response by Baggie on the 24th Jan 2018

It really looks treasured and, as usual with your work, very well maintained.

Response by Baggie on the 6th Dec 2017

Wow....you’ve done a great job here... I m sure she will sail well. Good luck!

This is what she looked like in August
I have ordered a new suit of cotton sails but I am also making a pair myself which are nearly finished and then it's time for a sail.I think the original suit in the picture are really too delicate to use
The braine gear has been set aside and she now has radio control with seperate winches for the jib and main
The deck has been removed and she is glass lined as some of the planks were a little fragile
She is obviously now a bit heavier than she was but a bit more user friendly
I will post some pictures of her on the water

What a transformation, good work 👍
Cheers Doug 😎

Looking forward to seeing a video clip of it sailing. Lucky find nicely restored

Response by Sollis on the 10th Dec 2017

I am ashamed to say I have had her nearly 50 years.I was given her by a friend of my dad Tony Garrett who built her in 1952 in Sheffield
As a kid I didn't really appreciate what I had and she ended up first in a cellar then latterly in a barn.
I always had the intention of fixing her up but never got round to it
In the meantime I built loads of different types of models but this year I dug her out and there was the mast keel and 3 suits of sails just as she had been left
I feel better now that she has been saved and will sail again

Response by jarvo on the 10th Dec 2017

Such beautiful lines, hope she sails as well as she looks

I remember sailing her as a kid with the Braine gear which I didn't fully understand She certainly had a turn of speed

She had been raced in 1952 by her original owner and carries the Sheffield Model Yacht Club registration on her sails 1061

I have a yacht that has been in the family since the 50s at least, I must fix the missing rigging.
