Another lockdown, another boat…

Many years ago, early 80's I think, I built one of these from a plan in a magazine. I fitted it with a real steam engine – quite adventurous for me at the time and quite successful it was too, despite having no real control over it apart from a suggestion that it might go left or right when I wanted it to. Right up until the day it accidentally caught fire and sank on our local canal.

Coming up to date, I found a copy of the plan on the internet a few weeks ago and though.. why not? So I did.

This one has full control, twin motors, twin gearboxes and a nifty little (expensive) mixer controller.
