Børge Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share #39 Posted February 27, 2013 I always viewed the Dragon as a most beautiful design. There used to be one moored at West Mersea (Essex, UK) back in the fifties when I sailed and canoed there, and it was always a great pleasure to paddle my canoe round her and admire the sleek lines. I seem to remember that Uffa Fox included a long mention of the Dragons, with pics and scantlings, in one of his big, coffee-table type books about yacht design. I used to borrow his books from the local library in the late forties, when I was twelve or thirteen. Your 1:12 scale model is exquisite! Well done! (sigh!) Hi Brian, and thanks for liking my model.

Børge Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share #60 Posted April 1, 2013 Hi shipmates. A little update from the Fitting shop... The creew reminded me of a important issue. What if we get a leak in the hull, or need to pump out some water ? Didnt think of that .... Ok, i had to make them a pump then. Then some smart engineer asked for some light when it gets dark outside on those late summer nights...
