Hello, gave up smoking took up model boats
« on: March 12, 2013, 05:43:36 pm »
Hi,


New to forums, and RC boats are my new vice. More into function than scale boats. Currently have in my boat yard aka the spare room, a 1.35m carbon fibre hull americas cup style sailing yacht, current project a aeromarine apache 56" powerboat and next project a prestwich models cigarette 72" powerboat.


Look forward to picking your brains and helping out others if I can, have working knowledge of laminating and two stroke engines.


Regards, Lee

you must have to think of starting building boats, all those hours
of frustration doing other things, keeping you away from your boats {-) {-) {-)
