Welcome Page

Good day all. My name is Jan. I am 61 and from Pretoria, South Africa. I started with Boat modeling as a kid with my father and have been doing it on and off ever since. My current project is a scratch built scale model of the Stealth 560 Flybridge, a cat, hydrofoil assisted motor yacht build by Stealth Yachts in Cape Town(Check their website!). The model is just under 1m. She will be powered by 2 KMB jet drives.
My previous model was an own design 1.4m deep-vee, stepped hull with a 23cc Zenoa and MHZ Z-drive. 
It is great to be part of a community of like-minded Model Mariners!

Hi David. At the moment busy with the drawings and the plug for the hull. I do all my boats in GRP. I will post photos as I progress.
Here are some photos of my previous model. I still have the moulds if anyone is interested.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

hi jan,
nice photos it looks like you have been useing it a lot with all the wear and tear. where do you manage to sail it, as here in uk we dont have many places to sail i.c. boats as most lakes dont allow them.

She is about 15 years old. I used to live in Baseldon,Essex. Used to be a member of OMRA. We also have problems with I/C boatS in SA, that is why my new boat is going to be electric!!!
