Second sail of the year

Hi all built this robbe le courage a few years back and wanted to share a few pix...recently refitted👍 sails lovely and the trawl net and otter boards are a nice extra!

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.

Just 3 "Robbe" Classic yachts here belonging to Buxton Model Boat member Barry Cook .

refitted Robbe Sirius IRC 88 (by stock maritime) completely new electronics and fittings, resprayed in 2k polyurethane topcoat

I bought the Moorcock from a fellow boater and decided to rebuild her as the Moorcock. The hull was stripped bare and the prop-shaft tube removed and completely remade with a new prop. The hull was then repainted and the life boat and davits added The superstructure was cleaned up and remade with a Robbe spring loaded grappling iron added to the rear deck.She is powered by a 24v scooted motor salvaged from a garbage bin and has 4 x 12v 7amh SLA's to provide power. She is a good strong vesel to sail and is often used as a recovery tug.

Here's my Robbe smaragd, its about 30 years old and recently I have refitted some electronics. sailwinch replaced for the genua fore sail. it just did not function very well.
It sails like a beauty and very steady on coarse.

here is my Robbe Sirius, the Stock maritime tuned version.
I traded an iphone 5c for this model.
it was in a used state without any working electronics.
Completely removed all electronics, stickers and rigg and started with sanding.
resprayed the hull in oyster 'pearl metalic' and started building up with new fittings , electronics etc
Sails like a beauty !
