This view shows some of the developing area in the aft deck area where the staircase goes up to the boathouse decktop.  On the top of the boathouse decktop sits the Bugatti 9' launch in her designated position.  The model of the Bugatti took several hundred hours to complete from start to finish.  It is 2.25" long.

Also is the exhaust stack with the cowl vents resting in place.  We have yet to give the model any finish paint as we are receiving changes or additions which effect the development of the model.  We are currently building many small metal parts for other areas of the model.  We are building the model as the real boat is being constructed so the race is on.  The scheduled launch date for the ATLANTIDE is August 1999 in England.  I will collect the final images and hopefully complete this model in the late Fall of 1999 or early winter of the year 2000.

This view shows the area of the hull where the stabilizers are located amidship and just below the load waterline.  In the background is the print of the yacht with the rig, and a magazine clipping about the yacht.

I am off to the launching of this vessel in England and when I return I will post some launching photographs of the completed vessel. Stay Tuned but for now enjoy our updated images of the S.M.Y. ATLANTIDE.
