Eric sealed the micro leak in his boiler with sodium silicate and improved the tightness of the drawers of his Saito V4PR by tinning them.
Eric made a boiler which saved him almost 600 grams, a lot for this thin boat of around 4 kilos equipped with a Saito V4PR machine. The boat already works perfectly at around 1 bar. Eric just has to fix untimely extinction problems with his torch burner.
After a presentation of his hull boat displayed, Eric makes sail his boat in its standard configuration, ie superstructures laid according to the reference plans obtained from the Navy.
Eric made this boat on the basis of the plans of the French Navy and equipped it with a PM research machine of 8 cm3 with a Microcosm recharge pump. The wayward burner will disrupt navigation, but not prevent it.

You feel as if you were the captain of the puffer!
An impressive navigation, as if you were aboard the puffer. The sound of the steam engine is very realistic.
Hightlanders or puffers were small coasters which transported peat on the river Clyde in Scotland.
One of the first navigations of Éric's puffer at the festival of model making in Massy Palaiseau.
