Gold Medal material Ken, it's absolutely marvellous.  :-)) I'm green with envy.

Nice one Ken
Well done mate, when are you going to sail her, give us a ring and I will bring my Imara.
PS keep the kettle on I will be over for a proper look.
Bosun :-))

Cheers Terry.

Yes, lets go to Roath Lake in Cardiff again. If the paddles fall off, you can push me home. I'll bring the tea this time.

Ken,

You have brought a lot of pleasure to many of us and produced a superb model into the bargain.

Thank you very much.

Barry

Hi Barry

The pleasure's all mine. Thank you for the compliment. Just a few marking lines to go. I've been experimenting with different tapes and have done the funnels today. Just three lines 11 foot long around the hull to go.  %)

cheers

Absolutely first class Ken, and thank you for sharing the build with us.

I look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Colin

Thanks Colin. Couldn't have done it without your pictures. Might see you at Wicksteed then.

cheers

Thank you, John. I guess I'll have to bring her to our annual get together.

Might get my own table with sturdy legs.  ;)

My Movie of the whole build is now up and running on "You Tube"

      http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=xDuRdP9HCMU


As its ten minutes long, it take a while to load, so please let the red line get ahead of you before clicking the start button, otherwise it stops during the film show.

Enjoy,

ken

Hi Dan

Yes, it was raining that day. The rest of the club went home, so I thought I'd better not go out on the big lake alone.  ok2

The paddling pool was just deep enough to see if she floated without mishap !! 

Might take her to Roath lake in Cardiff when I have a support tug. ;)

Cheers, Jim.  I did enjoy building her, warts and all!!

She could do with a final dash to fit some extras, when I get some spare time. After all, there's the lounges to fit out.

Hi Ken,

Look forward to seeing both you and the 'completed' Waverley at Roath.
Plenty of support boats available - not that I expect that you'll need any  :-)) every Sunday from around 12.00.

Water conditions are great at the moment, although the launching area is a favourite rest-room for the resident wildfowl  <*<

Still Canada goose for Christmas lunch is looking favourite at the moment  :} :police:

See you soon

Great.  I'll be back there again. I went with Bosun last time and we thought it was great lake for us boaties. I noticed the birds intrusion on the landing stage and thought I might bring a shovel next time. :D

Might try the Sunday trip after lunch. We weren't sure when you met, but it is nice to have company.

A few finishing touches were added today.

I decided that the Yellow line was not a very good yellow colour, so I've fitted new strips all around.

The name lettering was supplied by BarrieW, and it's superb. It's made of vinyl and machine made. Thank you Barrie, I think it looks the bees knees (as they say) (268) (269)

ps,  must get a proper flag. Anyone know 'where from',  please.

Here is the movie.

Hi Ken

Great to see her back on the water again, and looking fantastic!
I had a walk past the real thing in my lunch break yesterday,she's lying quietly, awaiting spring and warmer weather once more. Looking forward to seeing many more pictures of your pride and joy as the sailing weather improves. :-)

Regards

Thank you everyone. I feel like a proud Dad!!!

The lamposts arrived from China so these will be fitted over the paddle boxes for the gantry entrance. Not really much more to do on her.

I let the local children drive the wave springer and they succeeded in stripping the gear box of it's plastic gear wheels.  :((  It's back to the drawing board on this one.
