Just for fun thought I would revisit a " fan assisted " Wee Nip . Looking again at issues such as noise, focus, changes in light and the suitability for various camera platforms for close encounters!.
Tested here at our local lake with the Buxton Model Boat Club.

Cool, calm early late November morning. Very light wind expected to increase slightly but perfect for my "Slim Nip" which is a modified Wee Nip. Just pop in the extended mast with high aspect sail - and enjoy :-

Having frequently sailed up the Chesapeake Bay to Baltimore many years ago, this little beauty holds many memories.
The skipjack is a traditional fishing boat used on the Chesapeake Bay for oyster dredging.
This model was filmed on my recent visit to Portsmouth, it was great to meet with its owner Peter, who is a member of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club.

A few more clips from my recent visit to Portsmouth and to meet with members from the Hayling Island Model Boat Club.
Thanks for your hospitality guys !

Held this year on 30th of October 2022, the "Venetian Night Sailing" is an annual event which is always popular amongst Buxton Model Boat Club members and the local community.

Very sorry our local member Graham93 couldn`t be with us due to unforeseen circumstances.

Graham, look forward to seeing you back soon with "Bill & Ben" and maybe "Kayak Kev" !!!.
