[neil hpParticipant @neilhp]

Many thanks for that, Mike,

yes, they are built from scratch, to plans given me by the company who manufacture the full size boats,Mike. I built them( well one of them, the yellow one) for the company who builds the real Interceptor boat, called Safehaven Marine.( if you google them) in Cobh, Ireland.the other one( the orange boat) I built for myself and  it was fully radio controlled with bow thruster and twin torpedo 850’s running on 12 V.when he saw mine he wanted that  one as well so I left both boats in southern Ireland with him.One has now found its way to the offices of the Cork Harbour Pilot Board, which it represents.

They were lovely boats to buil;d and had a grp hull and superstructure, and all fittings cast in white metal. the rear structure is a mix of white metal and plastics all sprayed up with a chrome paint.

Sadly, yet again I now have sod all to sail this summer.ceste la vie.

Hi Neil

Do you still have the plans? and if so are you permitted to copy and share them with others?

hi paul.

Sorry

 I passed on the GA drawings to Metcalf Mouldings who did all the moulds for me,

And the lines went to Mike Pendlebury who is a member of lifeboats24-7 website.

I didn’t retain any myself…….got so much junk in my workshop I tend to get rid as soon as I have finished a model or I would gladly have helped.

cheers,neil.

Hi Neil

What a shame,  still no problem after all if we kept everything that we ever used then we would never be able to get out of the front door

Thanks anyway

Paul
