Hello Eric and welcome to mayhem.

I, and many others , have built the Imara.  It is a great looking craft and performs Ok on the water.  There are several problems with the scaling of the drawings and accuracy of the cabin location to the length of the hull.

I would advise reading through other peoples blogs to get all the information on this and you will end up with a beautiful boat.

Please do a picture blog on here as it would be of interest to me and the other members. Of all the boats I've built, this one is the best looker.  :-))

cheers

ken

I know  the Antwerp tunnels..... and the Antwerp ring....
never know in advance how many time it takes.


and I had opened a building log ... in the tug section.




PS.  And before I forgot.  Until now I was a static historical wooden model builder and restorator of them. In my younger years I have build R/C ships.
But after 55 years this is again my first attempt to build an R/C model.  It is also a model to play with the grand-son of 9 years. So don't expect that this model wil be of 100% quality. some parts of the kit I will use them and not make them again.
Sorry in advance for some stupid questions . if I post them , it means that I have not found an answer on internet before. ( I'm a poor google user :P - never find anything  <:(
