She is still sailing.

There is movie with W. Ashburner on youtube, first an inspection in the garden and later in the movie sailing.

There are no falsh keel or enlarged rudder and of course no engine!

Search for "sweeper1967" at youtube

Very nice boat, have seen the Swedish building log. Very nice job, beuatiful model..

Thank you! There is a new building log at the same site. Look for "Skeppsbyggeri".

The figures are a former crew of a tank from WWII.  They have a much better life now...

Love this. Love to see it actually sailing!

It is a double reward to be able to sail a model you have built.

Very nice indeed! I suppose we like the same type of models!

Thank you!

Sailed this morning, radiotransmitter in one hand, camera in my other hand...

Strong wind - very fun! Washed the deck sometimes.

So very eligent and touch of real class robinb

I had no plans, so she is built based only at a lot of pictures. A "symhpony" of that kind of ships, they are so beatiful.

Yes, there is a build log, but in swedish! It would be hard work to translate all to english!

Dispite my english name, I am born in Sweden and lives here too...

If you follow the link above, you may look at the pics anyway.

There is another posibility - send me your name and adress and I will send you a cd with ca 250 pics of the building and the first sail.
