Nice hey and the burn (if my failing memory serves) about 1.5.litres per mile of at 13knots comes down to around 1 litre per N Mile. Don't quote me (stupid thing to say) but trying to remember - around 3 tonnes (metric)

Nearly bought it but lacked required range, hence the one-tenth model being done for me. Other images are from the guys at the club where my model is being done, as I lack the expertise.

The Chamberlin C10 was the inspiration, as the concept and configuration met my needs and aspirations for full retirement & future needs analysis.

"So do it" is a good boat name, sets my mind on a new direction for boat names. "Flanneur" is out, as is "Giggelo" (spelling?) "a good port" ? has merit.

My "Telstra" broadband is not broad enough. It has been throttled to allow more users to pay exorbitant rates for twelfth performance.

Too late I'm afraid, all stocks have been used in the Australian federal elections. Potentially a good source of material, thanks

Here in the good ole US of A distributors of signs in support of candidates or acts that are part of an election are required, after the election, to go around and pick up all campaign signs. This, of course, is generally ignored. But if we could recycle that dung as a boat building material and pay people for it, not only would these signs disappear, but people would even be willing to clean places where candidates held rallies - award the cleaning to the highest bidder. Wow! Great idea Sean!
