I don't know what I was thinkin', but my first thought was that this ought to be an easy one ....... WRONG!!!
-
Good thing I didn’t enter my Steamco Linda Marie as that special variation would have taken all it’s votes! :D
-
Close race between two, just curious... what is CBRU short for?

Bonjour ?ick,
The S.S. CHRISTIAAN BRUNINGS is a museum steam ship preserved in running order at the VEREENIGING NEDERLANDSCH HISTORISCH SCHEEPVAARTMUSUEM where she is kept in full working order providing trips to the public during summer season. She was constructed of steel in 1900 as tender and pilot boat to the Dutch Icebreakers and to this end she is fitted as a coastal Icebreaker in her own right. This model boat is a faithful replica.
So I guess CB is her name but RU ???

Thank you Raphael, would sure be neat to get a picture of it on the water next to the full size some day...

Thanks Raphaël :)

One week left to vote!

Just over a day left to vote!

The first photo is a breath-taking image of a truly fine vessel and likely should be the winner, and deservedly so!
However, I am heart broken to see such a fine photo of a classic and beautiful old original vessel, as is shown in the second photo, go entirely without being voted upon. Therefore, even though it could possibly cost me this competition, I simply must vote for that stellar craft, and the beautiful photo that it is presented to us in. Well done in the extreme, and truly should have won far more votes. Heck, in most other circumstances, it should have won the competition~!!!
-
Well said Daniel, I also couldn’t believe it didn’t have any votes as not only is it a nice boat, it’s also a great picture!
-
Congrats Raphaël!!
I also Thank the two that voted for my GEM ;)
-
Congratulations Raphael, both for winning the EOTM, and for being the lucky fellow getting to own such a very fine vessel. That is a truly magnificent photograph of her, that you managed to capture, which is also worthy of being so honored!!!
-
Well done Raphael A nice boat and photo,.
Cheers

As for the second photo of what is possibly a Ernst Plank
Maybe it needs to hit the rocks and descend to the watery grave from which it was raised

Hi Dennis, Your E Plank boat looks wonderful and the photo is great, too. It just was put up against some ferocious competition so please don't commit her to a watery grave anytime soon.

Bonjour,
Thank you Gil and all the members who voted for my boat. I especially like sharing to give envy on my passion and your contest for fun gives opportunities to do so, which is great.
I will play again, for sure ;)
