I have just received this plan for a trimaran from Kevin Branch he scaled it up to I mtr so I can use my 1 mtr rigs it will need a bit modifying to bring it up to date a bit but for £5 inc post for two full sheets is not bad

This is a raft that one of our members Noel built from bean cans soldered together powered by a blower motor /12v 9mah battery it is a model of his fathers full size raft made from 45gallon drums powered by a car engine it was sailed off Cresswell near Newbiggin by the sea it made headlines in the local newspapers as Noel can no longer join us at the lake due to his failing health I will keep it and sail it on his behalf and use it as a rescue craft

This is a tribute to Tommy for all his help sourcing materials

thanks to Tom 😉

scratchbuilt from ply and balsa wood powered by two Caldercraft 750 motors to 40mm props only took about three months to build as a winter project its not perfect but was never meant to be more than a toy, 54 inches long and gives a good response in speed and handling

Got my 3rd build finished its a Northumbrian Coble, looking forward to put it on the lake at QE2 park Ashington

Built from a plan in 'Model Boats' in the 80's with a balsa hull and ply decking. Powered by a single cylinder 'Unit Steam Engine' from the same era, and a meths fired boiler. Only recently has radio control been added.

This is my M.F.A Tracker . When originally purchased it had the large and heavy 850 motors in it and old electronics , after a close call with a fire on board I decided to refit her out with modern Brushless motors and over rated Escs powered by Lipo's . Works out a 1/3 rd the weight 3 times the speed and run time over an hour . So a great result

Oh yes , sound effects donated by nearby Tug 😊

33" Dumas kit of the PT109. Not very stable boat with little freeboard it doesn't inspire confidence at speed. 😭
