Astra
Astra was built from an original 1927 Camper and Nicholson design model, acquired from C&N by my wife's great grandfather. Passed on through the generations, she came to me in a poor state in 2013 and I have rebuilt the deck to 1931 superstructure.
Despite being an antique, she sails every week on Needham Lake.

- B NewmanRecruitHi, I've just noticed your RAF RTTL. Looks good. This coming winter I plan to build a RTTL from plans I have acquired. Overall length 5ft. I guess with your IC engine it moves pretty quickly, I'm going to have to stick with electric power as the sailing sites in the South West are all sail or electric only.Hi, I've just noticed your RAF RTTL.

Hi
I'll try and get it right this time. This is my granddaughters springer. 18x8 inch, 4 inch rudder, 540/1, 6v sla, with a35 three blade brass prop,she's only 4 so if you come to sail on our pond, give her plenty of room. The safety part of it ,is she has a 10mm flashing red led on the top. Sorry I dropped on my last post

Max. - BallastChief Petty Officer 1st ClassThanks for the info, I'll give it a go. trouble is I've had the hull since 1982 so it's a bit out of date as Cygnus then started to produce the GM 33 Continental like yours. But I'm not beat yet, even if I have to end up making the wheelhouse from scratch ! 😰Thanks for the info, I'll give it a go. trouble is I've had the hull since 1982 so it's a bit out of date as Cygnus then started to produce the GM 33 Continental like yours.

It's a shame there are no drawings for this boat
