Falmouth working boats automaton
Rod made this automaton, inspired by a photo Di took while sitting on our boat a few years back, watching these boats racing towards us. Falmouth Working Boats are traditional craft, originally built for oyster dredging. They can be seen every weekend during the summer, racing in and around the Fal Estuary in Cornwall. They are very fast and competitive!
In the first comment I have posted a video of the model working and, below that, the original photo. Just click on the first photo to watch the video.
