    After building a number of mahogany boats I left the layout of the second wood layer to my son who is a designer. Knowing, that no real boat builder would go for such a pattern , I made it a father and son project. The seats and all other details are scratchbuild ,too. Starting with card board model to find the right dimensions I created a gipsum form for the epoxy/fibre layers. Later I coated the form with regular 1,5mm mahogany . Beginning with this project I wanted a clean installation for the electric, no hanging around cables . The model frames were designed by Andreas from Austria , the last pictures are showing him and his version - details are very close to the original- of the Alzeda with 2 slightly oversized BL and racing props .

    A friend who focuses on creating modell sailboat blueprints gave me me the DXFs of the Molly. -https://www.classic-modellyacht-design.de/Englische-Yachten/Molly- The hull was build from 1,5mm mahogany only and got a transparent fibre reinforcement. The sail was done by a professional sailmaker. The ballast weighs about 7,5 kg of pure lead. It was a special task shaping the forms and pour the lead in oil sand . Molly sails already with low wind and stays stabil at moderate wind.

    Thanks for accepting me as a new member in this forum. Over the years I've build a number of wooden runabouts, but the Torpedo beacme my favorite. The frames were designed by Joachim, the integration and organistion did Andreas from Austria. The pictures show 29" Torpedos in 1:6, 1:8 and 1:10 . Most pictures of the boats on the water were taken on a lake south of Munich.
