This is what she looked like in August
I have ordered a new suit of cotton sails but I am also making a pair myself which are nearly finished and then it's time for a sail.I think the original suit in the picture are really too delicate to use
The braine gear has been set aside and she now has radio control with seperate winches for the jib and main
The deck has been removed and she is glass lined as some of the planks were a little fragile
She is obviously now a bit heavier than she was but a bit more user friendly
I will post some pictures of her on the water

I remember sailing her as a kid with the Braine gear which I didn't fully understand She certainly had a turn of speed

She had been raced in 1952 by her original owner and carries the Sheffield Model Yacht Club registration on her sails 1061

I have a yacht that has been in the family since the 50s at least, I must fix the missing rigging.
