    Surely the answer to this one depends on what life boat discussed.

    Only just found out Speedline no Longer exists, however,
    I think there may be a blog by Skydive130 on a Shannon Class that will give you a lot of information.

    Hi,
    You lucky person.
    Thats a model of the North American Coast Guard boat known as MLB 47. Its a self righting boat 47 ft long.
    I am building a scratch model of it and pretty envious you were just given that, The models are almost impossible to get in any cndition and very expensive over here. The are used by American and Canadian Coast Guard. If you want any specific info send me a message as I a lot.

    Hi John,
    Suggestions always welcome. I have tried other ways for single rudder but thought I would use this for twin rudders and see how it works out. Will keep an eye on it which may be difficult now as its under the aft deck.

    If there is more them one page, double check the scale measurement on each prior to cutting any parts. I had four sheets and had them enlarged by a printer and half way through construction found an difference which caused a problem or two.

    Hi Jim,
    Hope your recovery is going well, what did you do.
    I started this project many years ago by getting a working drawing at that time I was in the Aux in Ontario. But family life, work etc and then retirement and I started working on it last Dec. Photos are always welcome especially for the smaller details that one only thinks of when one is working on it.
    Stay safe

    Austin
