You may be interested in my first attempts at model boating in 1967 / 75
first was a Veron Huntsman (still have) built in 1967, the second was a half scale version made in 1975 (in Nigeria) and we could all have rides on the Niger Delta. Happy days.

The half-scale one was fun.
I've just started building a Huntsman 28 at a scale of 1:12, so at 28" a bit smaller than your Veron.
Are do it any more building or have plans to do so?
