Now that i am starting and getting the feeling that shes now my boat and not Martins and Bradders anymore, i start a new thread about it. Again many thanks to them!

We started today the repair, it will be a bit picture-heavy

Lets start with the damages and repairs...

The roof was broken and the Master lost his left arm. Never had any chance gluing that arm without removing the roof. Smartly Martin left the wire of the roof lamp long enough

The roof itself was glued and "epoxyid" back...

The ladder was broken, now soldered together...

The row boat was also damaged, now repaired.

Again...

Cargo · « **Reply #5 on:** September 09, 2007, 08:25:02 PM »

And ready

Cargo · « **Reply #6 on:** September 09, 2007, 08:30:57 PM »

The funnel is not ready and the rudder needs now 24 hours to let the glue dry. But the chaintubes and the mainswitch are glued back allready. The rest of the repair follows...

Excellent!

Thx, the repair of the transport damage is not very heavy. A large radix complement to the designers of the Maid ...

Thx. :)

Martin [Admin] · « **Reply #17 on:** September 12, 2007, 07:24:34 PM »

Willy........ BRILLIANT!

.......... and Jan didn't have to wait another 10 years

All you need now to ballast the boat is all the lead off the local church!

Trucker Willy · « **Reply #18 on:** September 12, 2007, 08:05:59 PM »

Thank you, it was a gladly done work for a good friend.

Now, it still goes at the trimming the waterline and then, can Jan finish the season at the 03.10.2007 on an Event in Hamburg

Trucker Willy · « **Reply #19 on:** September 15, 2007, 09:15:40 PM »

Hello friends,

tomorrow we will execute a swimming-test of the buffer.... Pictures follow.

I trimmed (in the bathtub :angel: ) the ship, however without further ballast as the 2 lead accumulators.... the trip-attempts will then show what still is possible in order to get a trip-picture of a badly laden buffer.... let's look once...

Cargo · « **Reply #20 on:** September 15, 2007, 10:25:09 PM »

Tomorrow we will get her bum wet, maybe a little bit more weight is necessary but we will see

Cargo · « **Reply #21 on:** September 16, 2007, 07:44:23 PM »

Here is the story so far from today...

Her bum is wet, looked well on the water. But some difficulties occured. So lets start with the nice part...

Cargo · « **Reply #22 on:** September 16, 2007, 07:49:34 PM »

Shes very top-heavy, the whellhouse is very heavy. The main batteries are placed as low as possible, together they weight 5.6 Kg. If there is no wind she sails fine, but turning in some fresh winds...

Cargo · « **Reply #23 on:** September 16, 2007, 07:56:01 PM »

I think we need some more weight down below.

Other problems: the esc gets to hot, needs to be replaced. And the Smoke-Generator needs a fan.

Shes to fast, engine with 3.000 rpm rather than the 5.500 now should be fine.
