A nice article on the Kingswear Castle - A lovely little paddler whose lines are ruined by the awning and sidescreens to the rear of the funnel - If you model it, for gods sake leave them OFF!

Ive been on KC many times and Ive kind of got used to her awnings. For a lot more views and history of KC, have a look at her website in the links section. One of the best paddler sites around. Walter.
Blessed are the "cracked" -for they let in the light for the rest of us.
