I'm getting an 'Invalid File Type' message when I try to upload the MP4 video file of all the equipment working. I think the file might be too big at 119Mb? ! Consequently I've just put a photo of the setup because I've been unable to delete my post!

I really like the presence of this model on the water.

Back on the lake again tonight. Ballast and trim apparently sorted out now, hopefully no more " undersea exploring"😂

Dave and I agreed that today was not going to be a lifeboat day so my Aero Naut Classic and Dave’s Fairey Huntsman and cabin cruiser had a trip out. My DF65 also got its keel wet but I didn’t get pictures of that.

I need to stay off the internet, LOL
Noticed an ad for an Estate Sale. I went, I looked, and found (i.e. bought).
The Midwest Rowing Dinghy, Canadian Canoe, and Chesapeake Double Kayak are all nice boats.
They will look nice in a Diarama or just on display in my Home Office or Family Room.
I plan to do some work on the Cranberry Isle Lobster Yacht. It was not built/finished to run.
I'd like to open it up and put running gear and electronics in it to make it a working RC.
The front opens to access where the motor and electronics would go, but the rear is sealed tight with no access to attach a servo to the rudder.
Does anybody know where I could download the plans/instructions for this boat? I would like to see how the rear is constructed before attacking it.
Thanks for the help!

This week at Little Radford MBC we had two versions of RNLB Inner Wheel, RNLB The Princes Royal (Civil Service No41) and RNLB Elizabeth Rippon out and about they were accompanied by an Aerokits Diva and a RNLI Jet Ski.
I didn’t get the phone position quite right for the best quality photos.

A bit of racing against a couple of DF95 yachts with our 60" J class yachts. Always a giggle😊

A long unedited video of the boats on Warminster lake taken from my HA Kits Thames slipper launch. The GoPro hero 9 has image stabilisation so some pretty boats to practice chasing and getting in the frame.

Here we have the current and 2 previous Dungeness lifeboats, my Rother & Mersey and a pals Shanon. The other model with the Rother is a Medina prototype. All models are 1/12th scale, photos are at Little Radford MBC.

This is the video from our event this weekend. There are hundreds more on the channel. I hope you enjoy.

Here are some archive images.

I wanted to find a cheep Diesel sound generator looked around and found one It's not very load but sounds pretty good for around $ 16.00 Canadian. P/S it's been a few months since I worked on the tug and man is it dusty. Next chore cleaning off all the dust.
