I gather you are a member of Colwyn Bay club. So am I although don't attend much. I tend to like building models rather than sailing them although my rate of construction is slow! At the moment I am building a sailing model of Cariad, a Bristol Pilot Cutter, plank on frame. I also have a number of other models on the stocks in various stages, namely a Watson lifeboat, HMS Thetis and a RSL. I live in Trelogan.
Kind regards

I don't want to be picky but the Sea Nymph looks more like a Sea Urchin to me.

Southport Aerokits Meet!!

What a great day!! I want to thank everyone who came along, it really was a much better turn out than I was expecting!!

I will be posting photos on the website as soon I get chance, but anyone else who has taken photos please do the same on this forum thread with your replies!

Thank you also to John Lockett for being our friendly camera man, of which I hope to post a few videos later in the week. Also Graham and Marie who stayed overnight to come along, and those that rushed early this morning to make their boats seaworthy in time for today!

Due to its success, it might be an idea to make this an annual (and further advertised) event? 😎

this is a crackin venue for a meet, the lake is just big enough to ram the throttle to the stop!

Hello,

I'm new here.
I wondered if a ~12" long 'replica' of an Aerokits Sea Nymph would be welcome at your gathering ?

Not a 'Fireboat' - and not strictly Aerokits ( or the later companies ) either...

Keven. 😊

Yes yes, definitely! There's no strict rule of what is and isn't allowed and a replica Sea Nymph is certainly along the right lines of what others will be bringing along 😊

#11

Southport Fireboat Meet!!

Why do you think they chose that date ?? your just upset because you want your picture in model boats again. your getting to be a bit off a Pot hunter 😛 😛

peter

peter

Southport Fireboat Meet!!

just found the link, 25th July!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Note: it's now changed to the 1st of August! Admin.)

THANKS A LOT!!! pick a date I cant come, I will be on a plane heading for Florida 😡 so unfortunately will miss out, never mind, always next time

Flippin heck!! Fancy choosing the 25th* for your trip to Florida!! I'd have thought you'd have taken this into consideration when you booked it! 😛

Are there any boating lakes in Florida? Maybe we should all go and meet up there instead!!??? 😀

Sorry to hear your not coming though. Unfortunately it's hard to arrange a good time for all 😟

Fireboat, any chance you could send everyone a pm as a lot of members are rare visitors!

Thanks

Yes and No... I could technically PM everyone but it would be easier sending a mass newsletter out for everyone who's in the UK. Possibly with route instructions. I'll see what I can conjure up in due course 😊

Southport Fireboat Meet!!

sounds good, 1000 members, so lets get some support going for a north west meet 😀
#5

Southport Fireboat Meet!!

I would go, subject to work commitments, just one thing though, if its Southport, is that a salt water lake?

Nope. The lake is filled from the mains water supply, man made and away from the sea, it's probably one of the nicest lakes in the North West. 😊

Accidental Southport Fireboat Meet!!

Absolutely... Definately!

just set a sunny sunday afternoon and I will be there!


today was good fun, even though we were just a few! pity I had exhausted my battery packs when you (fireboat) turned up

I ran my packs down sailing with Steve with his "big un" and Norman with his 34" and had nothing left (new packs are in the post though) some photo's attached

the music choice on the video.... brilliant!


thanks

It seems these boats crop up everywhere these days! Which poses the question... Should we have an official gathering In the North West? How many would be Interested?? Post below If you would!
