a good morning
as you can see from my harbour i love building lifeboats. My next one is the above. I have seen on you tube the model from mr Woodward and i m interested to know what motors he has built in in his model. Looking forward to hear from you

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
Edward

And the last lot

And more from Southport

HI all

Just found the photos from Southport that I forgot I had taken

HI all

just found my photos from Southport forgot all about them being on my camera

...me too.

Important family matters kept me away, unfortunately. 😟

Good that everyone that did attend had a good time... the pictures and video are great.

Keven. 😊

I would have really liked to have been there. Thanks for the sharing the video it looks like it was a great day out.

Great video, looks like it was a great day, and well done to the Southport club for the use of their lovely looking lake, I will def make a trip up there after seeing this video 😀

Woops! Yes, you're right... I knew I would make a mistake somewhere >_<

Now corrected! 😉

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

Very Nice and well done, it just makes it sad I had to miss it.

As promised! Please enjoy the video below summarising the days events!...

"Many people from around the country gathered together at Southport model boating lake on the 1st August 2010 creating a wonderful show case of these old boats. it was a fantastic day and great fun was had by all!!"

what a cracking day 😀 great turnout with most of the Aerokits range represented.. lets do it again!

some photos from today..

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? 😎

Stephen (Fireboat) 😀

so...
only a week away.... who's going to Southport?
this is a crackin venue for a meet, the lake is just big enough to ram the throttle to the stop!

will have my fireboat and sea scout for certain and am working the best I can on my Sea Commander to get it on the water for the 1st Aug (just glass-clothed the hull last night) should hopefully get some paint on it next week 😀

so come on! who is going?

Thanks Fireboat,

After seeing this [url=http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=10511.0]Aerokits Sea Nymph[/url] thread at the Model Boat Mayhem forum...

I thought I'd try a miniature version - my take on the Sea Nymph - a Nymphette... only 12A½a€ long. 😀

I'd better get on.

Keven. 😊

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 😊

Fireboat

great pic! now that would cause complaints about the wash! 😊

It's ok Ill take a cardboard cut out of him and stand it by the water, moaning as usual 😯 😯

Peter

That's a brilliant idea! Shame about anyone who would miss out... 😛

Fireboat 😀

I could always take Orca to the Universal Studios park 😀

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
il take plenty of pictures and show you what you missed while you watch flipper splash about and eat trainers, or you could be in a que for seveal hours for snowy Mountain or something 😯 😀 😀 😀

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 😊

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

Thanks

That's a big yes from me, looking forward to it 😊

sounds good, 1000 members, so lets get some support going for a north west 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. 😊

I will be there,

Fireboat and maybe two more of my aerokits "fleet"


thanks
David

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


David
