Hi Alan yes it is the Greta and the boat in question is a 24’ Cutter with a square transom (ie. Not double ended) the boat is completely open with no covered sections. It sure if the boat dates back to the original launch date or was added or re-fitted later. The plan view suggests a diesel/petrol engine rather than steam so may have been added later 1914/18 sort of era. I know my Grandfather had a car in the 1890s (his RAC membership number is 9 in Co Kerry!!) so engines were pretty crude

Thank you Jim. Found a whole lot of posts as you said - through the Skegness. It just proves how important it is to Google the right form of words! by the way, I spent months commuting between Sydney, Melbourne and NZ around 2009 really loved Sydney - hated leaving which was the first and only time I felt like that about any city I ever visited. A fast food mobi outside the Opera house gave me an enduring taste for ‘Pie Floaters’!! REAL man-food!! All the Best! And thanks again

Hello I am building a 1:48 scale model of a steam yacht (MM1036 plan) and I have a bit of research I cannot complete. She has a 24’ boat with a motor but only a plan view. I cannot seem to find a view anywhere that shows the elevation view showing how the prop emerges! I think there are really only 2 possibilities. 1. The prop shaft emerges at the transom so the rudder has a cutout to avoid the prop or….. 2. The prop shaft emerges in the keel which has the prop cut out so the rudder runs straight from gudgeon to pintle I should also say that the boat has a transom, not double ended. Any assistance will be really appreciated!
