[boatman]

HI all well im starting the build an its only a small one this time the ship is only 6ft long an 9"beam an it was only a three an a half yr build so a quick build for me
A SHOT firstly of a real sister ship to Norfolk an please exscuse pics are a bit whitetish as I could not turn off the flash on my new camera

[boatman]

ANYWAY I said this was a quick build an that's due to the fact that this time I bought a GRP hull so that saved havin to hull build
