Models
help you to understand the building process, the order you will
have to work, and where the tricky bits are. They can be simply
card, or full-blown timber sailing models. Whichever, the model
will look good, inspire you to building, and be a source of pride,
conversation, winning friends and influencing people etc etc.

Tadpole II would
never have been built, never have been raced and never have surfed
the Internet had it not been for a model made from display card,
fine dowel and plastic bags sitting in the kitchen and hypnotising
everyone who came within sight. (Card
