I can weld Ali but do not have the equipment, I used to do it at work when I worked for an engineering company.
The equipment is now available at a reasonable price but you require argon gas and that can be difficult for hobbyists

I am inclined to agree with Roy, this looks like an early Marblehead. This class was started in 1930 and these were free sailing using various types for steering gear.
My first contact with model yachts was with a Marblehead built by my father in the 1950s. This had Braine type steering which he later converted to vane steering and finally fitted radio gear (reed set).
The hull was finally used to make a plug to cast fibre glass hulls
Below is a picture I found on this type of yacht

The reason I got this one is that I knew that Lophelia pertusa is the only coral found in UK waters.

Most sites will accept pass phrases for passwords, put 3 un-associated words that you can remember.
E.G. HulkBrokeFlier, these are much stronger than passwords. You can add numbers and special characters.

Bob,
Zebra was developed in South Africa in the 1960s and based on Controlair.
This is a 10 channel reed set giving you 5 servos.
The only reason that this set is not used is that it requires a unique battery setup based on DEACs that are no longer available.
This is a picture of the receiver and two servos.

This is an easy to build RC model, especially HMS Dragon as it is basically a static model as it does not really have to go anywhere

I remember my Sterling Chriscraft Buccaneer from the hazy annals of my youth. If I remember correctly it had a thick balsa base with a balsa double hull on the sides.🤔

📝 Is this site running slow?

Another thought on web sites running slow. When last have you cleared your browser cache, I did not think of this as it is something I do on a regular basis. In the past I have had people complaining to me that their internet is getting slower and slower, I showed them how to clear their cache and lo and behold everything starts working again.
A word of warning, you will loose your browsing history, cached data, cached images, files and auto fill data. Be careful as you could clear your passwords as well. There I’d a selection screen showing the options.

As a site grows it will slow down.
There are two options to fix that-
Delete the historical content, this takes time and manpower
Second is to throw more power at the site, this takes money, this would mean everyone would have to chip in.
I would like to see how you would go

This is a prime example of a minister making a mountain out of a molehill by not having all the facts.
Pontoppidan, a Danish minister wrote a book based on myths and his illustrations depict a giant squid or octopus Serving to foster this myth but this is typical of men of the cloth over the ages.
