Aprovecho este hilo para pegaros una lista de barcos que guardo como oro en paño. Esta confecccionada en USA y quiza falte algun astillero, pero todos los de la lista son barcos para navegacion oceanica y de calidad superlativa.
Viene el nombre del astillero, los modelos recomendados, el pais de origen y un comentario del autor.
Pillaros una cervecita de la nevera y a disfrutar.
