Have a subwaterfilms on YouTube. The weight problem I don't think can be rectified but in future we will take this into account.
Thank you for your feedback and merry Christmas Alex and Joe - figtree7ntsAdmiralMerry Christmas,
I just saw the size of the model.
Water were very rough on her!
Still a good looking Boat...
- circle43nauticalChief Petty Officer 2nd ClassI MEANT TO ADD I KNOW HOW NERVE-RACKING A SEA TRIAL OR MAIDEN VOYAGE CAN BE, AS I RECKON ALL OF US ARE! WELL DONE
- Dave MVice AdmiralVery realistic and nicely sailed model. The Solent Class were not fast afloat boats and had a max speed of about 9 knots so its nice to see a scale model sailing at a realistic speed.
Well done and thanks for sharing the build and final on the water videoLiked by AllenA and Skydive130 - Skydive130Rear AdmiralI quite agree Dave, the MFA 850 motors at 4/5ths chat push her along at a very pleasing and hopefully realistic speed. Ive enjoyed this build and had alot of pleasure posting myn progress, hopefully its been enjoyed by all and if its given anyone else some inspiration, even better.
Please feel free to watch my Vosper RTTL build elsewhere! kind regards simon

- Novagsi0Chief Petty Officer 1st ClassThat video was from 9 years ago and that was the camera on the latest phone for the time. Since power boats are banned at our pool this is the only video i have of the model running, sorry.
Posted for posterity. MY other boat 26cc kawasaki engine was same time pre IC's ban.
- rolfman2000Warrant OfficerAre these models still available ? if So, where from, as I have trailed the web searching for "model sea breacher", with no success. Cheers, Dave W 😊
- Captain-SteveLeading SeamanHi ...the model is scratch built.....don't think you can buy them...seems to be based on a gnat aircraft design with fins instead of wings and powered by a waterjet.......well it should be when I get it put back together 😁Liked by RNinMunich
