Yup. Clever!

I did not yet finish mine (alas, which one did I ever?), but I really should and continue with her and her sisters - EARL GRANVILLE is already published, another one of the "Papenburg sisters" , the BOLETTE has been test-built in march and should be ready for us any time soon.



APOLLO would be worth a small fleet in her own right, having been ex- CORBIERE, ex-BENODET, ex GELTING NORD, ex-OLAU KENT before being renamend finally APOLLO 1995 and sold 2000 to the Woodward Group from St. John, Newfoundland, where she remained active until 2019 and being scrapped 2021 after 49 years of service. I would have liked her to reach the 50 and already started a recolour with her 2015 look.


And she was only one of nine Papenburg sisters.

Heiner,

Where can I obtain a copy of 'BOLLETTE?

Thanks,
Alan
