Hi Dave,
She certainly looks good on the water, if as you say, perhaps a little overpowered. I notice you didn't try taking her astern, would be interested there because of the relatively low freeboard at the stern. Just like my Tyne Models "Alfred", she seems a bit 'tender' in the turns, a little top-heavy maybe? I put it down to the fibre-glass superstructure being fairly heavy, by comparison with wood or plastic. what do you think? All my ballast is as low as possible, and there's a fair bit of it!!! Nice model though, you've made a good job of her, will have to think about "Marlene" for my next project. (if the wife will let me!!!)
Danny
