A Pond Yacht Restoration

I am restoring a pond yacht, built by my grandfather , James Melville and a Mr. Ingram in Tayport, Scotland, in the early 1930s. The hull is 55 inches long x 13 inches at it's widest point ( beam ). The mast is 62 inches tall and the boom is 33 inches long. She weighs 26lb. The measurements and weight and classic lines are consistent with a classic 6 Metre yacht design, popular with model yacht builders in the 1930s.

Canon 40D

I have decided to take the plunge and sell off my Nikon D70 in favour of the Canon 40D for the live preview it provides. I can stop using a second camera attached to the viewfinder for a video feed and get a better quality image for an assist, others at StopMotionAnimation.com ( link to thread) are changing to Canon. I will keep the Nikkor lenses I'm using and buy an adaptor ring.
