Mgb2009 was retro fitted with a gas turbine in 1947. Tribal class frigates were COSAG,(combined sream and gas) in early 1960s.

I was kindly given this boat as a winter project some time ago. Does anyone recognise it's make and model? It's missing it's keel, has fibreglass hull and is quite large, mainmast is approx 4ft tall. Any help or advice gratefully received!

I only use super glue with the brush built into the cap now. Far less waste.

I have one very similar, possibly built from the same plans. One tip I was advised is, (if your bowsprit is retractable) when extended use a piece of cocktail stick to lock it in place rather than a metal pin.
In event of a collision with the bank or another boat the cocktail stick should snap, thus reducing the damage!
These boats a great fun to sail, enjoy.

Hi, completely new to the hobby and have bought a Billings Blanckert with no electronics fitted. What would be the best motor and servo system for this model?
It has twin rudders. I'm advised a low revving high torgue motor would be best.
