Hello!
By making a flat bottom 'Poncelet' of 4.45 meters (a Belgian boat)
This is not a 152vo The model is a 1/8 scale. Yes I know, I know... But this is possible to build it in scale 1/5.2... Then you ave a VX model from 85.6 cm
this is just to show you another way to build a model
building a Poncelet is made of two wood plies. the first 3mm thick, 200mm wide.
the second 5mm thick and 150mm wide.
I built the model in the same way
the first plies
the second plie
the mold and the boat
this Poncelet 445 won the 6 hours from Paris and the crossing of the North Sea between Oostende and Dover. The first in 1964 and the second in 1962!
