Thank you everybody for welcoming me.
Iโve now started the Sarik Riva Aquarama. I bought the Short Kit from Sarik Hobbies which consists of one large sheet of plans and an old article from Marine Modelling Magazine April 1997 along with laser cut keel, stringers, and frames in 6mm ply.
Iโm glueing the keel and the stringers together after sanding away all the laser burn marks.
Then Iโll be trying to understand how to build the hull upside down on a board!
Wish me luck!

Hello everybody, Iโve just joined.
Iโve done a few boats over the years mainly from kits: Occre Albatross. Occre Ulysses, now sold. Artesania Latina Atlantic, still got some fiddly bits to do. Thames Sailing Barge from a Sarik short kit (very short!) still on the fiddly bits.
Iโm not good at fiddly bits!
I now have a Sarik (very) Short Kit of the Riva Aquarama which I have just started.
Has anybody else ever had a go at this model? Itโs in 1:12 scale which is different to the Amati kit of the same boat, thatโs in 1:10.
I think that I might have bitten off more than I can chew!โต
