My dad's 2 and my 2 at Sycamous, British Columbia, Canada.

here are some additional photos this boat is split in two to make easier to carry to the lake, right now she's about 60 lbs

well I'm almost finished the boat everything is just perfect down to the keel

Hi
I'll try and get it right this time. This is my granddaughters springer. 18x8 inch, 4 inch rudder, 540/1, 6v sla, with a35 three blade brass prop,she's only 4 so if you come to sail on our pond, give her plenty of room. The safety part of it ,is she has a 10mm flashing red led on the top. Sorry I dropped on my last post
Dave

HI all
This hull was bought a flea market, it came with a plan, so it can classed semI scratch built

Greetings from Hollywood, California. 😎 Many thanks to David Metcalf at Metcalf Moldings for his advice and for so graciously replacing parts I messed up. This craft has been swimming pool tested (after all we're in Hollywood) and it ran beautifully. Next stop is the local pond. I chose brass counter-rotating props. Those are lithium batteries tucked under the sides. I chose to recut the decks out of wood. Brits rave about plastic but I found it difficult to cut and forget about sanding down the edges. (I guess if you cut it properly you don't need to sand the edge.) Major mistake: watching a You Tube video that told me I should make brass joints using a Propane torch. it will make a good joint but it MELTS ALL THE OTHERS. There was a lot of learning here for me and thanks to David's fine kit I think I'm somewhat of a better model builder.

The yachts getting a little brittle now, but keeping me sailing until the next boat comes off the stocks.

My late Grandfather Built this tug as a kit over 6 years ago. its 24 inches long and 8 inches wide.
I have modified it to make it look more realistic

This is a Kitshack 46 inch Crash Tender. Nearly finished with a bit more detail yet to finish powered by 2 1400 kv brushless motors running on car speed controllers at 7.2 volt. Goes like stink! Has working rotatable fire monitors which are scratch built

Finally Finished touching up the paint after it being unused for over 5 years and now working better than before, after putting a new brushed 280 motor into the boat. The boat is roughly 850mm long and 141mm wide and was built by my late Grandfather when I was little.

Scratch built some years ago, powered by 6volt PB battery.
She was always very slow and hard to manoeuvre. She was made from MM plans. I could never get her to behave in the water. 27Mhz TX/RX. tried changing motor, prop 6 to 12 volts nothing seemed to make much difference, gave up in the end. You can't win them all.

SemI Kit, I.e fibreglass hull and superstructure and wooden rubbing strake all the rest is scratch built. A very good sailer and very stable. Quick to build only a month and powered by 540motor and 35mm prop. Lasted for hours on one charge.
