I've put that kit on my list! I wonder if Vic Smeed's estate get any royalties from that  %) ? Classic design, though, and deserves to be preserved in modern form.

Hello all


I greatly admire the boat that Mr Sargent produced.


As it happens I have started building a Suzie Q, from plans, and I think I might try to emulate Mr Sargent's version. Does anyone happen to know, if he modified the hull dimensions from the original, at all ?


I suppose it's just possible that that model may still exist somewhere (it certainly deserves to).


Thanks
