The Bluebird Project

Thanks for all these pics, theres some good ones that really show what a fantastic looking boat K7 was (and will be again).

Looks like they've got a bit of aboriginality even though its clearly early days.

I can see the point of leaving the lever set as it is, it would certainly make an interesting and poignant exhibition piece aside from K7 herself - although I personally think it belongs back on the boat as a working part, doing what it was designed to do. However, I reckon the silver lining with th...

Not that you've got a boat to build or nuffink

I'd start with the Landy again- the shed is approximately three times the width of the one in that picture. (ish) So, back to Klingon- how wide is the Landy mate? Length of vehicle bumper to rear crossmember-roughly 175.001 inches-(4.445m) Breadth at widest point-(front bulkhead doorhinges)-approxi...
