----result = goes like a raped ape

Is that a scientific term or a nautical term?

We don't all live near large bodies of water...

Meh, so my back garden only goes as far as the beach and not all the way out to the bar, what's a bloke to do?


The finished vessel looks great, how does the fact that the prop is on the side affect her ability to run straight? I'm guessing that maybe the pilot has to lift the motor out, put it to the other side, run a few yards forward, lift it, swap it back, run another few yards, lift it, etc? (Or is there a linked toeing rudder opposite the motor)?

john the motor swivels on the bracket for turning --there is also a rudder to maintain any direction -

That's a beautiful piece, I hadn't even realised just how small she was before you posted that last image, the detail made me imagine that we were looking at something much, much larger.
