Thank you subzero for that information/ advice and pics. I will give it a try as I have nothing to lose. I will take some pics of my North Atlantic (just fininshing off some cosmetic at rear of stern as the chap who had built her sanded too much away form the rear deck hull so when you clamp together it is approx 3 mill below the bow and middle decking. Also I will show works in progress for my 2nd U47. All subs are in France at our holiday home so I will post at end of June. I will try and get the bracket support fabricated and sorted before I return. I have found a lovely port not to far away from us which has a a perfect boating area as it has a locK holding back the water to the port. Perhaps If I ask Moisseur harbor master nicely enough in French He might give me some sailing rights. Saltwater is all I can find at present but will be adventuring out for source of freshwater lake. I kow that saltwater has different bouyancy effects than fresh and also you have to clean out and regrease yousr shafts after a daily use so I will have to take that into consideration. Also I do not know what the French will think of sailing a scaled down version of a German u boat?

Cheer for now
