Congrats Chris. I had no doubt she would have sailed smoothly under your care.

THANKS Andy yes she will sail again next warship day an she sails fairley good an very stable but still has a large turning circle even with the exstened rudder an bow thruster as she is a very heavy model an thank goodness i dont have to lift her into the pond as plenty of willing helpers
cheers

Great result. You must be both proud anc releived. i am sure it creates quite a stir where ever you take it.

It has been a great build to follow - a real education as well as being entertaining. thanks for all of the posts.
