Post by: hunkin on January 16, 2017, 03:40:22 pm: Yes almost complete - got it from Charlie up in Wick - Had to modify the vessel to enlarge the fins so that the prop did not touch the bottom - great nephews almost demolished the super structure when sailing it in Golant Pill - now in need of further repair - great kit but you make it what you want = regret I m not a purist so it is rather amateur and but I enjoyed it

Post by: hunkin on January 16, 2017, 03:56:07 pm: Oops - did not read the original post - mine is the baby Tamar - not the large one - still enjoyed making it - hence the enlarging of the fins as it is supplied with on central shaft - scale approx 1.500 perhaps

Post by: Cornishman on March 30, 2017, 09:58:49 am: I built one probably 12 to 15 years ago and only sailed it once.
I eventually gave it to Padstow Lifeboat Station where it is on display. Motors, electrics and radio gear were removed.
