Hi all being awhile since I have being on the forum, was waiting for more plans to be printed out by my brother in law, the most important line drawing of the draft and hull deck measurements, found out I was out again, glad I found this on the plan and not half way through the building of the hull.
Just got the plans the week me and my wife was going on our first holiday since Easter 1990 for 10 days over Christmas day , was good to get away from the house, worked on the drawing fixing them up at night, was pretty hot, lucky we had air-con made the most of it.
The unit was in a good stop over looking the ocean , QLD Sun Shine Coast Caloundra and the main shipping channel into the Port Of Brisbane lots of huge ship went past, lots of pics, but forgot the Digital SLR camera has a 1440 zoom lens, had to use the iPhone 8 Plus camera has a 10X zoom. We likes it so much we are going back in August next year will make sure I take the big camera, perfect ship spotters dream.
I plan to build a separate draft and the water line model fit on with a tight fit and screwed, which I can hide the screws as there is a protector strip running along the length of the ship in line with the main deck, will extend the draft side a couple of inches higher as well, neighbor has a swinging pool..
The third pic is of my ship with 20ft containers stacked up four high the first two are in line with the top deck, the lat two pics of a cruse ship passing a container ship, they don't stay long in port as I got some good pics of the container ship heading back out, can't wait to go back in August. With the SLR camera no need to go down to the beach to take those close pics.
Happy new year 2018 to everyone on the forum, hop you all had a good Christmas as well, Tony from hot down under.
