Dear Rainer

I'm building an 8-metre steam boat around an 1895 Simpson-Strickland AB quad steam engine. Progress photos attached.

The hull is a copy of a 10.5 metre Simpson-Strickland of the same vintage, except we are adding a cabin and still debating whether to use hydraulic steering or use rope and blocks as per the original.

Best regards from New Zealand
