    Also, what thickness balsa are you using for your bulkheads and planking please? Thanks

    Thanks for that information. I think I might start building a Volvo 70 then! planning on making it a bit larger than yours - probably around 1m, just because of where it would be sailed. Is there any advice you could give me regarding any potential difficulties? Thanks

    Thanks. May I please ask in what way is this build harder than the Volvo 70? Your sailing version looks great

    Hi Being following your build and just wanted to say you are making a beautiful job. Very inspiring! I love the detail you are putting in her. I was just wondering, do you have any concerns regarding the flatness ie lack of rocker in her? I was thinking of trying to build a rc one, but was just wondering whether their sections are a bit flat and need more depth so they won't submarine too much. Also, what was easier? The Volvo 70 or this one? Am only a beginner but have made a couple of models so planking is no probs Thanks
