Sandy - thanks!  Yes, a very pleasant afternoon sailing! I feel I should just add that Mike of Maccsteam has excelled in customer service - I phoned him about the steam problem on Wednesday morning and he said he'd send me a new type of burner which should cure the problem, though I probably wouldn't get it until after the Easter holiday.  Well, it arrived in yesterday morning's mail, along with a 'couple of spare gas jets' to try.  What can I say?  There's few companies who'll  exceed that standard of customer service!  Hopefully, the video is now here for you all to see! http://www.vimeo.com/22777437

I've decided to have a go at building one too.......
Had a problem obtaining some 8mm ply so went with 9mm instead.

So far I've cut the main former blanks, they need profiling to shape.
I've made my own prop shaft and used Phosphor Bronze for the bearings..

Just bought a piece flat board for building on....We dont want any bananas do we?  :-))

Pictures to follow.....
