Just returned from a holiday in France where I picked up a copy of the May issue of Le Model Reduit de Bateau. By chance it has an interesting article on building the Anton Quartz horizontal steam engine. Very detailed photos, and also of its installation in a Graupner Glasgow. As its a current issue I don't think I should post copies here due to copyright. If any would like to see the article I could send it on loan. The magazine website is www.mrb-magazine.com.

One amusing item I found in an announcement about a forthcoming club event - No competition, just a good day of sailing, to give pleasure and perhaps to give the virus to novices present.......

PS pictures of two interesting paddlers will be posted shortly.
