Purchased at Henly on Thames wooden boat show in May 2016 again by my brother in law who likes to see me recycle old model boats.
Thin GRP hull with stess fractures one mast and one thick canvas sail.
Hull was coated with polyester resin and model aircraft wing cloth rubbed down and recoated with another application of resin rubbed down and painted with three coats Yellow machinery enamel after having been redecked with 1/16" ply fitted out with four turn sail winch and standard Futaba servo for rudder via flexible cable connection.
As there are no restrictions on sail sizes and the original mast was in three sections at 196cm I replaced the centre 40 cm shorter in effect creating a no2 or B rig from Mylar type plastic sheet. Jib and Main made from four panels each and using a Claudio Gadget to create a curve in each sail.
Having sailed on very calm day several issues presented themselves which need to be addressed in the sail department.
Not too many photo's of this type about but I have found one on MYA website which I shall use to to make amendments i.e. new sails and gooseneck. (8/10)
