Designed by Vic Smeed in 1966 for the Magazine, Model Maker. Plan No. MM1048. Bought plans from Member and decided to build it as an upgrade to Wee Nip I.e. one sail to two sails. Sailed well. in strong wind had problems with mainsail so fitted a kicking strap which really made a difference.

Looks great and beautifully finished 😊 . I am currently building the 34.5" Lesro model of this boat and would very much like to see some photos of your model. it would provide me with an excellent guide as to how it should look in detail. Would it be possible for you to send these to me by email or post them on the site?
Cheers!
Jeremy

Named after my wife Sheila, the yacht was purchased from the builder, as I don't do yachts, but thought I had better have one for those windy days when scale models become tricky. She behaves well, (as does the wife). Only Radio control on the rudder; the sails are set depending on the wind strength.

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.

Hello Dave Thank you. No plans as such got some on line used a bit of them and pictures so made my own. I am an x toolmaker only took 3 weeks about 120 hours ish, 2 days to sew & decorate the sails, a day to make the hull, the rest to make the bits,the hull is 1 meter long and is a fully working ship pulley blocks all work & sails lovely. I enjoyed the build. Next one Royal Sovereign a bit bigger when I get time, once again Thank you. Paul.
