This is a world of art borris! Now you have the mound will you be producing hulls?

Hi,

No, I'am not interested to make series, but I can lend the moulds

Hi,

me revoilà ! J'ai confié à un copain du club de terminer la barge sauf un après midi ou je m'y suis rendu pour barbouiller
le haut de la coque.

Le 3 juillet il y avait une sortie du club à l'étang de Maison Blanche à Clamart et on en a profité pour mettre la
barge à l'eau.

Les toubibs m'ayant octroyé un bon de sortie pour l'après midi, j' ai fait quelques photos de celle ci dans l'eau,
mais il reste encore quelques détails à finir pour qu'elle soit complète :













J'ai pas pu faire la vidéo que prévoyais, car j'ai été bousculé par des gens au bord du bassin : la sortie du M5 de la barge !

Boris

That's amazing, great work Boris
