 What a drop dead gorgeous model, makes me wish I owned the real thing! What a cleaver way to hide the batteries, Craig. The model looks so real, it looks like one could step aboard and cast off for distant shores. 

Ah ha! I must be doing something right, then! These are dream ships in their own ways. 

The late Bill Garden in his senior years, would carve 4 identical half hulls, complete with cockpits and cabin shapes. He would then send 3 of them off to some of his far-away close friends and  on some cold, wet winter night, the 4 of these geezers would hook up on a group-call to share their impressions of how those craft would sound...and sail or motor... and then come to an anchor in a sheltered cove while the winds overhead rattled the branches in nearby trees. They would hoist a tot to each other and their long friendships. If one's time at sea has passed, this is a fine way to still dream yourself aboard.

 

Thank you for your compliments and the tips, Keith.
