Title: Scotia finally gets wet!!
Post by: David Allinson on July 04, 2008, 09:20:04 PM

Hi there Paddleducks.
I know how you have all been on tenterhooks wondering what happened to my paddle tug Scotia.
Well.... it finally took the water  and goes very well indeed.
I have downloaded a couple of snaps in my album so you can gaze in wonder at a ship that has taken 6 years to build, maybe longer as I have just about forgotten when I started, it was so long ago.
The wait is over have a look.
Best regards
David A

Great to see it finally made it onto the water David!

It seems to have lost a few bits along the way though - No ships wheel, or engineroom skylight, to name but two.... It still looks magnificent though!!

Regards
Eddy

Thanks Eddy.
Yes, I do have all the bits you mention plus some more such as windlass, lifeboat etc they can be fitted as it is unlikley the deck will have to be ripped up to it get it going.
All the best
David
