Have a look at this:

I'm now hypnotised with this and want to build a boat.

Does this effect anyone else in the same way?

Yup, the man had big brass uns. Loads of respect for him and his daughters wishes,
but kinda think they should have left the boat down there though.

I also find this sort of thing very interesting, along with the rebuild of the Vulcan bomber and the Bloodhound (next land speed record attempt) that is being built about 5 miles from home.

I'm glad I've seen this post. I remember looking at their website about a year ago and just had another look, interesting to see how they're getting on with it.

Also admire the legend, we have the Bluebird out on the salt flats picture by Jack Vettriano at home (not the original - obviously!!)

I've got tons of books on this, but prices of second hand ones are now so low its not really worth building unless you want the challenge.
