Hi Jim,  The size of the slings and shackles was quite awesome.  I was slightly disappointed there wasn,t a bit more on the manouvreing controls but otherwise very good. It has inspired me to build a radio controlled model next year. Modelling the cranes will be quite interesting.
   All the best,  John.

No it was more concentrating on the workings of the one ship, The Fairplayer. That documentary had some very good shots in it , some better than the ones in the film on TV.

I saw on Mighty Ships on the Discovery Channel in the summer about the Jumbo Fareplayer.
