    The London Model Engineering Exhibition
    Nice display. Is the
    gaff cutter
    on the stand an Aeronaut Bella that's been given a gaff rig instead of the original Bermudan? Interested in the schooner too, is she a model of a real ship? Nerys

    looking for plans
    Hi Doug, Always nice when you agree with me, it's good confirmation. Talking of ships lifeboats. I'm going back to the late forties, there was one called Sunbeam that used to dominate the 'sailing cruiser ' class in the local regattas racing with a varied collection of 'proper' yachts. She was 24ft, she'd had a false keel bolted on. No attempt at a cabin, just half decked like a day boat and rigged as a
    gaff cutter
    , topsail, flying jib, the lot, but could she sail. Probably the real secret was her owner, a retired pilot. Cheers, Nerys
