Waveney Class
« on: July 06, 2021, 09:34:11 am »

I am purchasing a Dumas kit for the 44ft USCG boat that was the basis of the RNLI's Waveney class ALB.  I want to build it as 44-009 "RNLB Helen Turnball" originally the Sheerness station boat.  I have learnt that the whilst the hull is the same , there are significant differences the the cabins and wheelhouse.  Has anyone done this and if so do you have any tips?

Yes, thanks.  i am aware of that site and I also have the Nicholas Leach book on the Waveney.  i am really after any tips fellow builders may have on the alterations required to the original superstructure on the USCG original.
