About this boat

I bought this neglected, unloved and scruffy model from that well known auction site for not many pennies sometime in the 1990`s.
My first serious attempt at model boat building was renovating this model and so sparked my love of most craft that float and this absorbing and challenging hobby which I continue to be enthusiastic about.
Her name Mistress Quickly and came from a huge great Beneteau yacht that I tried to beat into Howth Marina some years ago, the Beneteau won by many lengths in fact the crew were in the bar before we had tied up.
The model continues to be one of my favourites but she is so heavy.

    I have one thats in a very sorry state at the moment, but if she turns out as good looking as yours I will be a very happy guy!

    Lovely looking boat. Nearly bought one from a Antiques shop that needed some TLC. My wife persuaded me not to because unknown to me she had bought a Riva Aquarama kit for me to build for my birthday! 😀😀

    I also like the Fairey Marine models - my very first model boat was built from an Aerokits Swordsman kit - bought from cash saved from my meagre apprenticeship wages circa 1966.....and I have been making and restoring classic model power boats ever since..................👍
