Yeoman Wavemaster at Portishead
Photo taken at Portishead on 1st July by a friend in my club many thanks to Les Masterton for allowing me to add to my album. Model running on a Johnson 600 with 3:1 reduction gearbox 45mm 3 Blade brass prop and 11.1 Volt Lipo. Not bad for a model designed in 1952. 😊

    HI Ianed57, Yes Cwmbran is my home water, we sail Wednesday afternoon in term time and the evenings in the school holidays, we as sail Sunday morning 9.30 to 12.30. As I said before phot was taken at the Portishead openday on 1st July, and the weather was blustery to say the least. Graham

    HI Graham,
    Your comment on my Wavemaster prompted me to have another look at you photos. I'd say the speed of our respective boats was fairly similar but achieved by different means. I notice you are using a smaller but geared motor with a bigger prop but on the same voltage- all very interesting!

    Quite a bit of detail shown of the relief lifeboat 17-45 The Duke of Kent in service from 2005. This was one of the last built of this class so it is useful info to compare with earlier vessels..
    Thanks for sharing 👍

    Looks to be going well. is the first pic with the LiPo's? Did you get an equal running time out of each battery?
  • jelley_babyChief Petty Officer 1st Class
    HI Dave, The first one is the Lipo (5100mAh), it ran slightly longer than the NiMh (3700mAh) but caused the speed controller some problems so have now changed that to a better one and will try again on the weeked at Portishead near Bristol. 😊

Yeoman Wavemaster Circa 1960's
Well this is the latest Ebay purchase arrived from the seller today. I ask my self am I mad or just mad on old Retro boats from my teens, this one is complete with a lovely big Taycol Supermarine motor, but will it work with modern RC I ask my self, or would it just be better to restore the boat using modern Electrics, we will see. I will post again when the work is underway. I find that building and restoring, fills my retirement days.

Sea Breacher
Not your typical submarine but certainly an unusual semI submersible. Scratch built by fellow club member Brian Clewes this is a most striking looking vessel. Fiberglass hull and moulded perspex window. Home built waterjet uses a large 900 (I think) brushed motor, water cooled speed controller and 14.4v LiPo. Looks really spectacular on the water and Brian is working on the ballast to enable the model to remain just submerged. Video to follow in due course.

Walton Thames ASRL
Hi" to all model boat builders. I thought I would add my new project to this fireboat website for all to see ! I bought this from fleabay as a total wreck. She is a rare Scratch built from a plan of a Walton Thames RAF ASRL launch at 36 inch long & 8 inch wide.took me approx 6 months to do the rebuild. Brush painted with 5 assorted colours with decals working lights ect.
Walton Thames is now running on a new Johnston speed 600 electric motor. 50 amp speed controller 45mm pitched propeller.A 6 volt at4.ah which gives good running time & good scale speed. Photos are taken at Eaton park Norwich England. Enjoy. 😊
My next project will be a 1950s Aerokits/Keilcraft Sea hornet. " So watch this space "

    I had the plans for a Walton Thames launch which I made in the UK before I emigrated to Canada in 1968. it's great to see one again.

    Lots of fine detail, very well constructed. Does it sail as good as it looks.
  • GreggSub-Lieutenant
    Ive only seen it once on the pool, but its all down to the person hind the transmitter to get it to "sail scale" now Dave.
    he does have more "plans" for it, he's removing the non scale Illumination lights, the majority of the "white metal " landing craft and lifeboats are to be replaced with plastic or resin. I am currently revamping the stern flooding system, to make it operable. the "deck cargo" has now gone, in favour of more helicopters. one of the radars now is powered, nav lights and deck lights to be added in due course.
    The new owner would also like to try and r/c one of the landing craft, but c kit is available in such a small enough size to fit inside,let alone get a battery pack in too.
