You have done a wonderful job on this conversion. Well done, I wish I possessed the skills to do so myself. It is great to see something in the magazine about sail again. The articles are far and few between. I have now been addicted to scale model rc yachts for the last year (I am very new to working with my hands as I am a boring tax accountant). I just cannot keep my eyes off model yachts now. Your project looks like a good transition between scratch and kit builds. I have only had kit yacht building experience and must have sailed my first one at least 50 times since I built the kit last year. The endless pleasure of sailing your own built is indescribable. I am waiting for my next kit build to arrive.

Thank you for such an inspiring article.

Peter
