Just to say hello and to say that I am looking forward to reading about and looking at excellent images of these stylish boats. I do not own a boat at present albeit i have enjoyed hours on a friends steam launch. Smaller craft I know but it had its charms on a Summer's day; a whiff of coal fired smoke, warm oil the slow beat of the engine and the relaxing sailing. Lunch in the cabin aft.
Presently I am building RC model of steam yacht KGS Komet (1911 Bremerhaven) and soon to embark, once I have located plans / detailed photos and measurements, on three others: SY Medea (1904), San Julian and Cangarda.
Perhaps my delight in these boats is because they combine a classical beauty with my love of steam.

Welcome Stuart. Good reading to be had on here, besides the fact that a large amount goes over my head!

Hello indeed, did you mean to reply as a private message rather than in the thread?komet wrote: Hello Daniel
Thank you for your welcome.
I am based in the UK.
Anyway, very good. Where abouts are you based, and which boat does your friend have, small enough world we might even have met! We have a steam narrowboat and are based in the northwest/northmidlands, as you might have seen.
