The rarest of all Valiants ,and one of my favourite Sutcliffe boats. There were between 6 and 11 built by Mr. Ken Sutcliffe using an electric motor instead on the more common clockwork. As you can see the box simply had a hand written sticker placed over the word clockwork.

The two bladed prop was replaced with a three bladed prop allowing for the greater rotational speed of the prop , but less torque than from the clockwork motor. The superstructure is modified to hold the one HP11 or 'C' size battery as it is now commonly known in place.

Being powered by one cell , it gives a realistically slow speed.

Note the modified superstructure with a 'U' section soldered to the underneath to hold the battery in place.
