| I served as a steward on this ship in 1963, and found the A4 plans in 1966. It wasn't until 2005 that I started building her. It was my first scratch build. I used different wood and fibreglass, hence when I tried to sail her I needed to include stabilisers to keep her upright.  | |

| Hello PJG1412. A fantastic model you have there. It must be satisfying to create a model of a boat you've been on. And especially after so many years. Regards Ole  | |
