Special Feature:
BUILDING A CLINKER DINGHY - This type of model is a basic building block for other larger models, which many modellers are put off from building from scratch. The process has been used for hundreds of years with full sized boats and basically is very simple but it relies on the expansion of the wood in water to form a good waterproof seal. As models are not normally in the water for long periods of time modern sealants and resins can be used to'simulate the waterproof properties of expanding wood.
