Read about our models of the Virgin Atlantic Challenger II, HMS Norfolk and their World Record attempts at 24 hour endurance Long Distance Model Boat and Power Boat World Record

There is written on their web-page:

As this was a pre-production boat for the Military; the plans were not available to modellers. The only plan available was a semi-scale plan out of the Model Boats Magazine which gave basic information, but was insufficient for details, so after a lot wasted time and effort, we finally turned to Mr Richard Branson.

Modify the Semi-scale plan

Before we even began to build the model, we had to completely modify the semi-scale plan as it would not have taken the strain of I.C. engines. We made the tunnel side and bulkheads interlocking, to give the model super strength and rigidity. If we had made it to the original way, it might have split down the middle when we put on the power, thus giving us two hulls going different ways!
