Re: Rose launch by Selway Fisher

Rose launch by Selway Fisher

Dear forum, At the moment I am building a steam launch. The boiler and machine are already done. The boat itself is also present (it’s actually a rowboat), but it still needs a lot of work. Like increasing the height, adding the ribs and creating the deck. The current boat is 4,40 meter (14’5”) by 1...

The engine is made without any plans or castings. The hul...
