No but saw the real thing at Fleetwood, Lancs just down the road from me many a times. Used to be launched down the slipway from the old LBH on the prom and didnt half make a splash when she went in the water. All the crew used to stand at the stern then raise the wooden mast when she was under weigh(?).

Never saw her being winched back in the LBH though!
