Billing Boats - Marie Jeanne, by my dad :-)

This has been a labour of love for my dad for a many years. We brought the kit for him as a christmas present, soon after he got the kit he got on & completed the hull which is planked & boarded like the real thing but lack of time & enthusiasm mean't that it sat un-finished in our shed... that is until recently, my dad is now retired & has found the imputus to finish off what is quite a complex model... its certainly one that requires patience... also a little bit of guess-work as dad says the instructions for some of the more complicated details on the deck & rigging are somewhat vague. Must admit i'm rather proud of my dad, he has previously built a number of R/C planes & Plastic Airfix kits, but this has been his first boat. Shout out also to my mum who made the sails - which are better than the poor quality items supplied in the kit.
