About this boat
I bought this original un-built kit some years ago.
The kit was damp and the wood inside had warped quite badly.
I copied all of the parts in new birch plywood and left all the original parts on a flat surface under a heavy weight for months.
This is a classic British model boat kit originally produced by Hammersmith Model Makers Limited in July 1952 from a design by L.J. Rowell.(Les Rowell).
The kit was intended to be built on a jig, so I followed the kit instructions and built a jig on which I fitted and glued my new copy parts.
Now that the original parts are (mostly) also nice and flat, a second hull can be built on this same jig to make it from these original 1952 parts.

This plan has L J Rowel’s name on it.
Could this be the earliest collaboration between Les Rowell and a model kit maker?
Does anyone know of any Les Rowell deigned model boat design than has an earlier date than July 1952?
