Is there anyone on here who would be interested in building a hull/deck (out of wood...mainly balsa and Lite Ply) from one of Glynn Guest's plans for me?


I have the plan, plus the magazine build article that came with it. It's not a huge boat by any means, around 30" if I remember correctly, and to someone with wood building skills, I guess it would be a relatively easy build.


"Why not build it yourself" I guess you're saying...if my hands would let me, I would have a go, but to start with I don't like working with wood, and secondly, my hands/fingers are getting worse by the day. I'm having trouble assembling a plastic kit now, let alone scratch building a hull.


If possible, I'd like the boat finished as far as the priming stage, I can still handle a rattle can to paint it.


I can pay by cash, cheque or paypal if anyone is interested?


Let me know...


Rich


Oh...the boat is Glynn's "Lady Helen", a freelance Sealink cross channel ferry.

U-33, ist das ein "target" ?

[U-33]

Nein nein, mein friend..warships sind Ziele, nicht Fahrgast.

Ah so, very good.   There is a fair bit of interest in ferries here on Mayhem and elsewhere.  Any chance of a copy of the plan , cover costs etc ?  Might have a go at a 200% version to suit my limited skills and finances (Springers) as opposed to some of the super-kits available.

[U-33]

I've fancied this particular boat for a lot of years now, with the bow thruster and mixer controlled props, plus the twin rudders, she should make a nice regatta boat for next season.


Pm me your email address and I'll send you a scanned copy of the plan and the article.

[U-33]
