HMS Pandora
This model took me 3 years. Copper plated the hull panel by panel. Even found a crew for her, then added an RC and took her to the lake.
She sailed well, but my enthusiasm to leave the gun ports open cost me dear. The water got in the hull and knocked out the RC, leaving her listing and drifting some way from shore.
Salvation came in the shape of a 10 year son of a friend, who strip to his underwear and swam out to rescue her!
Now she sits retired in a glass case.

- GdaynormWarrant OfficerYou should have modeled either Wassa or Mary Rose! They both made the same mistake!You should have modeled either Wassa or Mary Rose! They both made the same mistake! If you don't want to close your gunports, give her some flotation balloons below deck. Shame to have such a beautiful model as display only.

Bawley - East Coast - PIXIE LOUISE
Scale 3/4" to the foot. Acquired the fibre glass hull and the original plans from Alan Hill . Designed by Alan Hill in 1974 to be made in Ferrocement based on traditional Bawley hull design and sail plan. Seven boats were built by Ferro Marine Services Burnham-on-Crouch.
Well, at 97Lbs that's quite impressive, you must make a video!
Hi jarvo
I'm must say I'm guilty of towing a rowboat while I was in it too.
People at the pond where amazed at how much power my little Tugboat had.
