hi,

I am currently building a Robbe Atlantis Twin Masted Gaff Schooner,
I am recording the build, ( warts, c*ck ups and all) on my little blogger diary, If you are interested click here..... http://ukatlantisbuilder.blogspot.com/

I am about a third into the build, but am in no rush, the long horrible winter took its toll.. that and getting my new bigger shed into place? ;)

She ( my Atlantis ) is not perfect, by any means...... but wherever I can, I am trying to improve on the original kit.....sort of kit building ,outside of the box..... but what the heck......I am happy with it......and thats all that matters. :D

I have also gleaned as much as I can find on the www, about the Robbe Atlantis, and? owners, wherever they may be, in one place
 again, my little contribution, to the world wide web community.

If you know of any more builders /owners, please send me a PM .. I will be more than happy to add the details to my little web site Robbe Atlantis Resource Centre, which I hope, other owners /builders /prospective builders will enjoy and find useful.

Advice, is as always appreciated..... I dont think I am getting any better as a modeller, just improving at covering my c*ck ups up ! ;D

The timber came from http://www.modellingtimbers.co.uk/4520.html

Keith Jewell is the guy here, one of the nicest? people you could ever wish to meet , very knowledgable,? full of practical advice, and the quality of his timbers and machining is the very best you would want.

All cut bespoke to your personal requirements for a very reasonable cost.

He really is a "Jewel"? like? a true diamond...... a rare find...... :)

I am just a very happy customer.
