Had an awesome sail today and just thought i would share some photos of an Al Khubar (renamed Flinders) that I scratch built for a customer.

Water looks a bit rough in those first couple of photos! Hope it's well sealed, looks very nice, Dave. :-))

The rough water was supplied by my Star Perseus. and yes she is sealed well and has a nice high coaming inside the wheelhouse.

Hi Mermod, lovely boats & they look absolutely terrific on the water, overall very very impressive.Mick B.

It was a really memorable day, it was overcast when we launched but after about an hour the rain set in but we were having so much fun we sat in the back of the station wagon and sailed on, then the tide came in and where there is normally a two foot drop over the weir we were able to sail clean over the concrete edge with no fear of scraping the bottoms, made for a whole new adventure down the river.
The only problem was the step where we retrieve the boats was under water by the time we go back making it hard to get em out, there is another photo of me with jeans rolled up hauling mine out ankle deep in water but im not sure about putting that picture up just yet.

Over the weir and down the river (normally about 2 foot drop)

Model boating safety tip.......Always know where youre friends are before attempting to retrieve your vessel.
