Acerca de este barco
When we got married and moved to live in Exmouth in 1971, our first “winter letting” was just a few yards away from Exmouth Models!
I bought this new kit then, but moved house several times since then and have still not finished it 😳

I am not at all sure about the rear cockpit cover with an inflatable mounted on it, so I may have a re-think about this.
The little MFA 385 motor chosen at the time looks a little bit "skimpy" by todays standards, but I am tempted to at least test the model with this motor fitted as I may never get this boat finished if I keep changing things !

The wood in the kit was dry and hard and of dubious quality - not the best Aerokits model that I have had - and this made harder work of anything than it should have done.
If I had bought this kit today I would have simply drawn around all the parts and replaced them with fresh wood, but back then I had very few tools , spare cash or space to work in, so it just put me off bothering with it.
When I did finally get everything in one lump, the rear cabin roof warped. Something else that put me off bothering - but I had an hour or two at home in the workshop(shed) yesterday cutting and fitting the roof skins on my Sprite Plus, so I replaced the rear cabin roof while I felt briefly enthused .

This boat is only 16” long, but the shortest “tick-box” length available on the Specification chart is 20” long.
I think this is a very “lengthist” selection choice that discriminates against those model boats that are less than 20” long. 😂

People often use a thin layer of fine fibre glass and resin it takes some skill, there may be information on the internet
specifically on model boats.
This video may give you an idea of what's involved
Regards Roy
Can the members offer any help?
Many thanks in advance!
Now, the model is fully skinned and has had some undercoat so I will picture it again when it is ready to sail ........hopefully this will not take another 50 years to complete.......
