For a lad from a shipbuilders left behind in the 50's run by farmers and used to building tugs, dredgers and the like they were something to behold, i'm used to thinking someone is doing alright based on when they last painted their trawler.

Nice! The 3rd photo is Vava she was 96.8m long, it's a big punt for a toy isn't it?
I've always wanted to bump into the chief engineer of Sarafsa (the second photo) as he said he'd have me aboard for a look round to see how she's looking.
