Hello everybody

I am a modeler since I was a kid. Now in my sixties still building wooden boats from scratch or kit. I am still sailing as a professionnal pilot on the St Lawrence River in Canada.

I found this site and found it very interesting so I give it a try.  Sorry for my english french is my first language.

Hi Philippe, welcome aboard.  This is a great forum for model ship building and really all things naval. I'm sure you will enjoy your time here.

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea
