Just stumbled across this on YouTube this morning and thought the yotties among us might appreciate it.  Stunning model.

Yes, very impressive, I wonder wonder what sort of keel the boat has,

That’s just what I thought when I saw it!

Wow, brave chap to rig all that cloth aloft. I would expect a deep fin keel to aid turning and a heavy bulb to keep it all upright.

She seems to turn very well once the skipper gets the wind  onto the other side of the sails. Very smart to turn the aft sails to push the stern around.

Is that what they did on the full size ?

I’ll have to get a winch rigged up on the Colin Archer mizzen sail….sometime.
