That's so cool Reg, let's have a picture of the stern showing the prop and rudder now the hull is finished.
I'm very interested to what sort of pace she has and how long she runs for.
name? |

Right then, as a name goes i only have two ideas they are The Ellie May after my dog or as my mum suggested Samphire which i think sounds better however i have no idea how to name a boat. The run time in water is about 15 mins however after a several minutes of use you do have to wait 30secs or so for more pressure to build. In this video i took before i had finished the woodwork i was using near enough full throttle on the handset and you can see she is pretty steady however not as bad as some i have seen. Plus heres a picture of the back

Splendid rudder!!
One small word for better steam is that you might think about cladding the boiler. The outside of that boiler looses a lot of heat to the atmosphere and thus robs you of much potential steam supply.
She sure looks the treat! Well done
