My First Sailing Vessel
« on: October 22, 2011, 09:06:57 PM »
I purchase this raft at the swap meet for $1.00.  About have the deck was missing; I replaced that with Evergreen plastic; the original tiller was about 5” or 6” tall so I built a replacement from Evergreen plastic; I also added additional steps up the mast and the sail.  It had 4 very ugly paddlewheels/one on each corner; I cut those off and added Milliput around the base as water.  I converted an Old Glory 25mm pirate to man the tiller.

Glad you enjoyed it.  I'm sorry that I don't have a clue who made it or what it was originally called.  When I found it at the swap meet it was in a pile with other broken toys.  Fortunately for me someone had put the pieces together in a baggie.   Richard
