The response that I got for pictures of Miami Crash Boats was fantastic. The Titan Tug that I am building is the result of a link I was sent to EBay.

All in all a fantastic and active site

This site has helped me know end with a wealth of knowledge from everyone who can help I’ve been sailing yachts and model boats now for nearly half my life more recently as my health had taken me out of work since 2015 so it’s been a great uplift to be able to sail whether it be motor or wind powered boats health permitting or whether , but only being on this site for a few weeks found some great help and others kind enough to help out when someone in need ,manny thanks to the ones who have helped and know doubt in the future if I get stuck

I am new to boating. I have been RC modelling for 40+ years and always been a Forum member somewhere. These places are a bottomless font of information.

Thanks to all who contribute!!

  Hi Wolfgang,
  Ja du kannst, die sind sogar sehr gern gesehen👍
  Aber bei uns heißen die 'Build Blogs' und muss auf Englisch geschrieben werden, mit vielen Photos😉
  Schön Gruß, Doug😎

  Hört sich gut an. Ich glaube wenn ich einen Text auf Deutsch schreibe, wird er automatisch in Englisch übersetzt, zumindest bei mir auf dem Handy. Dann wird doch der Build Blog auch automatisch ins Englische übersetzt oder sehe ich da was falsch ?

  Hi all further to my comment 6 months ago. My friend Guy never made his 104th. birthday, He died just a few weeks short of 19th. June. Not sad at all, as he had enjoyed a good life and he told me he was ready to go anyway.
  
  We had a planned party for him at the Model engineering society, but we decided to carry on with the day and remember Guy. Some of his ashes were sprinkled over the outside Gauge 1 track he had contributed to. Nice idea and I shall pass by him every time I visit. (He did build a couple of boats as well)!
  
  Like many of us, not in anyway famous just one of those that keeps the world ticking over and working. This is the bit the vociferous amongst the population forget, but someone has to keep the lights on.
  Regards
  Roy

Where can I find the plans of a Cherokee class brig sloop of HMS Woodlark (90' x 24'7") with took part in the American War of Independance. Hopefully to build a model about 12" long 1/90 scale. My 3 times great-grandfather was in command of her during that time.

  I understand that Darwin's HMS Beagle was also Cherokee class.

  With sending this pictures you open old wounds… i havé been sailing for over 20 years with 2 friends on a 43 foot Halberg Rassy. Never ever we had à quarel. That’s what friendship between men is all about. Nothing nicer than sailng👍👍👍

  Sorry Herman!
  I did not want to, but it will probably be one of the last sailing trips, since my wife prefers to travel with the camper and likes to have dry land under his feet. 😐😐😐
  That's why I craft ships of every kind!
  Read you later as we will be gone soon
  Good time, Michel C

  Hi HappyHaggis ,
  You may see from my wee picture that I reside in that windswept and interesting country Scotland , I was off site for quite a while with health problems but hopefully back with a bang or at least a little pop.
  Cheers Marky👍

Hello all,
I have looked to see who from Switzerland is participating in this forum.
Disappointing, some have stayed on as recruits, 2 are current but have not responded to my request.
It would be cool to meet someone from the forum in our own little country.
Cheers Michel-Cl.

PS: RNinMunich / Doug wir werden uns dieses Jahr sicher sehen! Verschoben ist nicht aufgehoben!!

I have only been a member of this site for a couple of months now, and I have never come across such a wide mix of people and skills, who are so friendly, with never a bad word said. The support and friendliness is quite brilliant in this day and age, when half the world is either fighting or arguing. Long may this frindliness and worldwide harmony continue.
