My latest challenge... Until the next one
« on: August 25, 2019, 07:15:27 am »
Bonjour,
Clapboard mahogany launch built on the basis of MRB plan "The Seagull", length 1.40 m, width 0.40 m, weight about 15 kg, Babcock boiler (to be checked) without safety valve nor manometer and without gas tank, recovered as you can see her of an estate. The Stuart D10 seems functional and not seized but does not work with the few hundred grams of pressure of my little compressor.

I will probably add Stephenson slide valves to have a reverse.

A splendid looking vessel that seems well equipped, so it truly looks like there is a lot a very good potential there.

Please keep us informed as you bring this beauty back to operational excellence!
