Hi It looks as though you made a very fine job of building your Flower.

Thanks, Ron.

Almost sank first time out.  I hadn't put enough ballast in and as I cornered  it started to go over.
Only recovered by turning on the power and straightening the rudder.  Got it to the pool side and out of the water quickly!!!!

Really nice model Ken, and you got her wet. One in the eye for Bob then.

Hi David5,
I'll try to get to Yeovil this year.  if i make it I'll be on the SWA ( Surface Warships Association ) stand.
I would bring Agassiz and either an unfinished Missouri or a finished HMS Diana( Nelson era Heavy Frigate )
