I mentioned recently that I'd been immersing myself in the story of this boat, and here's why: I want a sailing model of one ... and I build model boats! What better excuse?
Now, a proper build log will arrive at a website once I'm properly underway on the construction, but for a teaser, here's the keel and one frame underway, along with a tentative start for the dinghy (about which I know nothing other than she was 2.5m long - though I believe the plans for this are in Leeds).
(The left-handed scissors** are in the pictures to suggest that she's one-eighth scale, so she's around 44" long (and has a disturbingly squat 17" beam).
Regards,
Andy
