   Shame you flogged the 7 foot HMS Hood☹️
   I was really really looking forward to seeing her majestically plough up your boating lake.
   Are you going to be any better off with a 6 foot ferry?
   Plenty of scope for some RC cars and trucks though😉
   Good luck anyway🤞
   Cheers, Doug 😎

   Hi that is what is worrying me the weight I might have to consider constructing the top half from balsa wood, I'm currently writing a letter to Brittany to see if I can get some better pictures etc from them.

   Wow, that looks like a big boat. What do you think it will weigh completed?

   Hello my next plan is to get some pictures of NORMANDIE and then adjust pictures or draw to scale I will then make paper templates to see if the scale and size is OK on the hull I might even ask Brittany Ferrys for some basic plans and pictures of her to help me out.

   Hi yes I can update you all on this build at moment I'm trying to get pictures of NORMANDIE at various angles then I have to try and scale the pictures to the scale of the hull sadly due to lockdown Brittany is still opening up or some are still closed, I live only two miles away from the main office so that Is handy.

   That looks as if it could be some restoration, but, doubtless, would be well worth doing. I see from your other post that she is six foot long, that's quite a size and should be very impressive when finished. If there is any chance of a blog on the work you do on her, I'm sure a lot of people will be interested. Good luck.
   
   Cheers, Nerys
