    The spitfire was a working model but is too brittle for flight now but with some extra buoyancy is good as a ditched plane👍

Sailing at the Leander Boat Club dock Hamilton bay
A few of the Confederation Modellers members went to the Leander boat dock on Saturday, May 10, 2025, for test runs since the weather was great for sailing, and there were no weeds or green algae.

The Confederation Model Boat Club has been setting up a pool for many years, and it will be the same size as in 2024. The club made the pool forms many years ago, and I sure hope the museum helps to buy a new plastic liner because the old one sure leaks a lot.

    Hi Garth here in UK we found that the best pool liner was from lorry tarpaulin suppliers.

    The key is to photograph from close to the water level, somewhere I can see but not reach any more.

    Love the video!
    You are fortunate to have a great facility to run boats on.
    There are a lot of wonderful boats in your group.

Robbe W3 Police Boat video (video)
I bought this boat in reasonable condition five years ago from an estate sale. The original geared 540 brushed motors were rusted beyond repair, so I replaced them with a pair of 2830 1000kv brushless motors, running off a pair of 6 cell NiMH packs.
I use a transmitter mix to allow the model to rotate on the spot and perform scale-like docking manoeuvres.

Ice Breaking in Oxford
Video of an Oxford Model Boat Club member's tug breaking ice on the club's water last winter. I expect there to be some ice there this afternoon as well.

Landing Craft
Buxton Model Boat Club member Steve Hampson trial tests his home brew
"Tank Landing Craft" built with twin water jet drive. Sounds great on the water.

    I have often thought that I should research tank landing craft designs to see if I can combine my interest with 1/16 scale r/c model tanks

Yard Sale Find
I have way to much time to waste raking up the leaves & bagging them but I am still working on some of the models I got & this time it's the Bluenose kit that had all the masts broken off . I started it while our model boat club was at the Caledonia wood show . I try my best to get people to be interested in model boat building while I'm repair the model. The sails are up & now for the rat lines & a little painting & a few touch up here & there!

    You rarely see one as an RC mostly static with full sails. When we were in Lunenberg the Bluenose was not sailing with all of them up. Just the three seen on your model.

    Ronald, that's because the current master is no where neart the calibre of Angus Walter and the other captains of the Grand Banks fleet. Angus greatest love was hoisting full canvas and seeing how she'd do.

Yard Sale Find
In every yard sale find you come across a box that at first you think its just a bunch of junk .But I came upon a half kit with lots of parts missing The Swift 1805 . The model boat club I'm in did a show at the wood show in Caledonia so I bought a sheet of plywood just for this Swift's keel & frames . I also found a Bluenose model that had masts broken in Needed of some major repairs.
