I am pleased to announce the release of the model of the Irish buoy tender (ILV Granuaile). It is available for purchase from my website - www.papershipwright.co.uk.
The model is in 1:250 scale and is printed on 7 A4 sheets. Full assembly diagrams and text is included.
The Granuaile was launched in 2000 and is operated by the Commissioners for Irish Lights (responsible for all aids to navigation round the coast of Ireland). Her home port is Dun Laoghaire.
For those who can't speak Irish, her name - Granuaile - is pronounced Graw-nja-wail. She is named after an Irish pirate princess whose name in English was Grace O'Malley. More information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_O%27Malley
