Hi Mark,

The guy with the blue hat looks more like Santa !

The model looks fantastic by the way

Cheers – Ken

Never really noticed but it seems that for the first 30 years of my life my father was Santa. Well he did give me nice toys as a kid. The guy in the blue hat ‘The navigator’ was modelled on my late father god rest his sole.

Thanks for the praise though Ken

hi paul ref trent life baot kit

can you tell me the beam width of the glass fibre hull on your boat as mine is smaller than 317mm as stated in the kit .i.e does the 317 mm include the rubber fendering.

also did you have to cut the deck to suit the hull

i have only got as far as putting in the bow beams in so i want to be sure before igo any further.

thanks again Paul

Hi Allan

I never measured my boat whilst making it so I presume that the dims include the fenders,

Yes I did trim the deck to suit the hull….but make sure that the hull and is fully braced and leveled before making any cuts.

Glad to help

Hi Allan

Sorry that I couldn’t be more helpful but I am ashamed to say that all my good intentions regarding careful and meticulous dry assembly go out of the window when I get a new model to build, I just crash on and then worry about problems when I come across them.

Good luck with the build.

Hi Allan

The general rule of thumb is that the propellers spin in towards the keel..ie. looking from the stern the L/H prop runs clockwise and the R/H prop runs counter clockwise.

Sorry the photo is not that detailed but you can just see the pitch on the stb prop.
