Desperate Straits?

[Old SilasParticipant @oldsilas]

One longs to know what happened next!

 

Did she sink or did she survive? How effective was the sealing of deck appertures? What lessons and advice for other modellers?

 

Adn it looks like a splendid model!

Now thyat is what I call a great picture! i hope it didnt sink, as the weather looks to be really at a fun size. I like to try and weatherproof all my boats so I can play in stiff weather conditions,  so much fun. Sometimes of course it is very difficult to9 arrange, when hatches have to be on flat decks low down and there is no possibility of adding combing. Ashley

It did sink but was quickly recovered and dried out OK. Happened at the 2007 MPBA Scale Finals when a very nasty chop develeloped at the end of the Wicksteed lake,

 

Always fix your superstucture on securely!

Whoops!!!!

Mystery solved – and a salutary lesson for others as regards fixing the superstruure on firmly.

 

Many thanks for sharing the second photograph – we all learn from it!

 

Best Wishes and keep up the good work!
