Tony's Model Yacht Sails Again | The Repair Shop

➤ Subscribe ➤ bit.ly/RepairShopYT
First to appear at the workshop is Tony Douglas. He has brought the model yacht he made and sailed with his grandfather as a lad. He is banking on fellow model toy enthusiast David Burville being willing and able to get it out on the water again. Tony was named after his grandfather, and he and his siblings spent many happy times with him. Tony senior was interested in all things nautical and a keen craftsman, building himself a full-sized yacht as well as several radio-controlled model ones. Tony has wonderful memories of sailing the Kingfisher with him and would love to relive the experience with his son Charlie, but the hull sprung a leak decades ago, the battery is on the blink and it has been gathering dust on a shelf ever since. Fortunately, David knows exactly how to get it shipshape again.
