Some pics of the QEll that EMBC will be using at Inverleith (Edinburgh) for the Tug Towing events on 8th and 29th May. This is a 12ft stand-off scale model originally built by Findlay Mackenzie of Dundee and owned by 'Drilmar' - to whom we are deeply indebted. She hadn't sailed for some years until last week when function and ballasting tests were run. These unfortunately ended in a disater when she foundered after the ballast shifted in a crosswind. Retrieving a model of this size some 30ft + from shore was fun!
See www.edinburghmodelboatclub.org under the tug towing button for more!
I am pleased to report that she is now restored to her full working glory (thanks again 'Drilmar') and should grace our pond again this weekend for further tests.
