No Name boat

After a little video of the H.Sw.Visby I tested out my no name R/C boat over the winter change motor coulping & receiver . So she need a little test run at the Hamilton Bay Leander dock seemed o/k to me so looking forward to a summer of model boat sailing . The kids must have been off due to Earth Day & here in Canada Covid restriction have been mostly over .Thank goodness .

Thanks Garth.

At first I was surprised to see you with boats on open water in Canada.
This week we finally have open water in Central MN, but it was just on the news that there is still 18" of ice on the lakes in northern MN.
THEN, I looked at a map and realized that you are considerably south of me. Basically as far south as the MN Iowa border.
OK, I'm jealous! I want to be able to play on the lake with my toy boats too!

Brilliant. Best war film I've seen in years.
My mtb's of mtb 389. Built 40 odd years ago and left in the loft where it collected dust and soot. When I retired I brought it down, fitted a Graupner 700 motor in and ran it on 14.4v. It plains very realistic. Thanks for the video...👍

Look what the Easter Bunny brought me!

Up until now, I didn't have a tug boat in my harbor. Every harbor should have a tug on duty, right? This is how it came, I plan to add a couple embellishments, but this one is primarily "for fun".

"Slim Nip"

Exploring the possibilities of a new sleeker look to the Wee Nips that I have built previously , - I created the "Slim Nip" just as a development from the original classic Graham Bantock design.
Length - 720mm
Beam - 166mm
Keel depth - 290mm
Mast height - 1130mm above the deck.
Maintaining the simplicity and convenience of a Uni rig , easy to transport , easy to rig , & no guys .
Result was : - a new look, light wind, high aspect ratio - "Slim Nip".
