Coming to the model, the plan is intended mainly for the experienced modeller, but there are bound to be ambitious beginners who want to have a crack at it, so a few notes on the general construction will not be out of place. A good performance can be expected from the 2.5 cc. motor shown, but engines of larger capacity, or electric power, can be used if desired.

SPEEDS in excess of 57 knots in varying weather conditions with excellent maneuverability at high speed. These are the achievements of the latest patrol boat to come from the Vesper yards. Launched early in 1958, Brave Borderer is believed to be the fastest naval vessel in the world and has shown her ability to maintain high service speeds in extensive trial runs.
