Hello all, welcome Dabber to the most helpful and informative forum I've found yet. It i sgood to see another Aberdonian into boats I thought we were declining

thankfully this appears not to be the case

i like the look of the perkasas' and eventually intend buying a GRP hulled one to use with electrics (more opportunities to sail it) although if I were to restrict my self to the Duthie Park model yacht pond, the use of i.c is still perfectly acceptable there. Have you looked at the Anglai Model Centres' web page as they are the people who make the kits.
http://www.angliamodelcentre.com/ind...?cPath=8_66_67 who I use regularly for mail order items and they do offer an exceptionally good service. My last order placed Thursday 16.30, goods on doorstep 10.40 on friday

Well pleased with their attitude and completion of orders.
Let us know how you get on with the kit if you get one
cheers
Jim
p.s. off to Edinburgh for a sail tomorrow, car loaded 3 boats, 1 yacht and a barge
