Kathgleen gets a keel.

Kathleen was built as a static model without sails, now she will will be sailing on the water with sail she will need to have a keel to stop her from, well, keeling over.

Restoration done!

All that remains to do is a couple of coats of varnish on the hull and she can hit the water.

Adding the name to the wheelhouse.













I've been doing a lot of work on Kathleen and she is coming along quickly. The radio and sound box plus navigation lights are fitted and the sails and masts are ready to fit. The crew are built and painted and look a right bunch. The era is circa 1952.
