Just make sure you build the correct wheelhouse for the boat you are considering, there were two main styles with different front corners !!


The client collected the finished article on Thursday and seemed to be pleased with the result so a good outcome to all the hard work.

On with the other projects.

I fancy Sir William Arnold 52 - 02.
How hard will it be to get the drawings for the cabin ?

The Arun  wheelhouse had it's first trip out today on Garreth's existing hull.

There has been a lot of sea mist along the coast, but the new wheelhouse looked very nice on Colwyn bay model boating lake.

You are an incredible model builder Mike. :-))

Mike.  I have a copy of plans for 52-02 Sir William Arnold, which Neil kindly lent to me so that I could photo copy them and I am in the process of building her?  It is not just the cabin which was different, the foredeck is slightly longer to allow for the shape of the front of the cabin?

If your son wants a copy of the plans, pm me your address, I will  get them copied and send them on to you for a donation to the RNLI to cover costs.

Ask away surfer 71,this is a great place to find things out. You might also want to join another site RCMB, which is radio controlled model boats best just to Google RCMB Forum, and join from there
Good luck with your builds

possibly because the poster Gribeauval lost them on the hosting site that changed some time ago, and as it hasn't been updated in years from the poster, they are now unavailable. this happens some times., and why i keep all my photos on my own computer.

hello mike I saw your construction progress on YouTube, very well done, hats off to you for this, great job. Now that I have a question on the video, I also saw the plans of the Arun 52. Is it possible to make a copy of it and send it to me, please?
