Many, many hours John  The very next thing is to bring this ship to Fairhaven Lake one evening to take her maiden voyage. Just waiting a pleasant (dry) evening. Something that's been in short supply around here as you know.......  For next winter I'm debating building the minesweeper version of the same ship - "Sir Kay" ![[Linked Image]](https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-360jkouzn1/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/9007/358087/caldercraft-sir-kay-minesweeper-model-boat-kit__20018.1683894628.jpg)

Ian, prior to the official launch I used to wait until SHMBO went out 'shopping' fill the bath and test and adjust ballast to trim the levels, you can also carefully run the motor and check the prop shaft and rudder shaft for leaks I have to admit getting inpatient some years ago due to bad weather and testing a Windermere steam launch indoors, I was having such a great time, but didn't appreciate the oily tide mark of evidence, eek
