Hi Nige,
I have read the blog and that's what's got me wanting to build the boat I wondered who bought it you have a very fine ship there mate
I called Modelling Timbers today and he confirmed he does not sell wood anymore would think he might change his company name
I considered building the Valdiva but the rigging looks to be a nightmare for easy transporting plus the boat is slightly smaller and I like big boats, have you sailed her much I would like to hear you thoughts on it.
Hi Brian,
If I buy the whole package I can have the planking kit for £92 and the ballast for £75 I have loads of lead lying around so I'm going to mould my own to fit into the keel and I had read that the planking kit was rubbish, the shop I'm buying the boat from said I can pay for the planking kit and have a look at it if I don't like the contents return it and he'll refund me. I'm after a colour like Nige's boat if I can get it.
