New Boat Video

Postby Nick » 21 Jan 2010, 21:19

I have posted a video of a new wooden boat
It is powered by an Alfa Romeo motor and was home built by an amateur who has done a sterling job
The event was rock at the weir and a few boats went as well
Dave knows all the details

The young bloke (I think he is about 20 something) bought a set of plans and some wood and built it. The engine installation is pretty unconventional but works well. The thing feels like it will really fly but he isnt game to get into it.
His father has a steam launch that they built also. Neither of them are shipwrights just love old boats.

So how long did it take for him to build it
Is it conventional construction or epoxy laminated
What size engine is it
is it a 6 or a 4
what were the plans based on, an old boat or a new design
whew this teeth pulling is tiring
