Hughes, a resident of Dartmouth, NS managed to set a jury rig and rounded Cape Horn. He had the mast replaced in the Falkland Islands and completed the race.

Guild member Brad has now completed the second in his serial production run of River Class Destroyers. This one was presented to the Royal Canadian Navy's Command Chief for display in his office suite. The final product is getting closer to what the real ships will probably look like!
He's since started work on Version 3 which will be fully R/C, including some special features! Keep an eye out for updates!
