New Build  - "A" Class Yacht

In between restoration projects I am building a 2 metre model of the A Class yacht I restored for Southport Model Boat Club. We had so much interest in this yacht from members that the Club decided to make a mould of the yacht and run off several fibre class hulls.

Below are some photos showing were I am up to with this

 --- Deck has been individually planked and had an initial coat of clear varnish. Hole drilled for mast, Hull interior fitted ready for the rudder servo and drum sail winch

Sorry, the date is Tuesday 14th Julu 09 i got carried away with this  - My "A Class" is completed, works fine in the garage but waiting for a suitable day to try her out, hopefully this weekend.I will take loads of pics and upload
