Welcome to Paddleducks, nice to have you with us....

A seven foot model of the DEPV Talisman should look impressive on the water. Do you have any photos of the construction you could share with us? I'm sure quite a few people would be interested in seeing it...

The Glen Sannox!

I can see why Eddie's so keen to model her - what a beauty!
