Throstle

Throstle is a Draginforce65 yacht I am loving getting used to sailing her...discovering how she handles and improving my skills. Everyone I meet is so friendly too at the Norwich Boat club. Eating Park boating lake is a fabulous place... you must try it. I promise you will not be disappointed. Great relaxing cafe in the park too! Boing boing Baggies! 👍

M12

My friend, Ewald Bengel, and I both have M12 class sailboats; 42" length, weighing 16+lbs, designed for sailing in weedy ponds or lakes. We took them to his cottage and sailed them in deep water on Oak Lake north of Havelock, Ontario, Canada. A Great afternoon of sailing!

Gordon bought this hydro from Ebay and fiddled with it lots to get it going. So we went to Ilfracombe pond for a test. it went jolly well to begin with until a large input of water through the windows made it unstable and the result you can see !!! After we recovered it and dried it out it went lovely as you will see from a later video. Les Breame

Name unknown

These two boats were tied up at a dock on Lake Coeur d’Alene, idaho. My nephew sent me the pictures. Tomorrow he will try to get the names of the boats and maybe information.

Do these look familiar to you?

I came across this cool concept a week ago while at the beach. Not even there you may escape from the mean marketing folks.

You bet. A shocking experience, especially after driving several hours to the destination and spending the big bucks for the hotel next to the beach. But still funny.

Hi Krampus, don't know why but suddenly I thought of your advertising boat, then my eye fell on a digital photo frame and it hit me how to recreate your 'Ad boat' 😉 see attached pics. Temporary mock-up on my Sea Scout.
These digital photo frames run off 5V DC, so attach a simple 5V regulator to the boat's main supply to feed it. A one chip 3 legged item - no rocket science!
Pics you want to display on a USB stick plugged into the photo frame.
set the frame to 'Slideshow' launch the boat and Awaaay you go!
cheers Doug 😎

OC Rocket

Here I have some food for inspiration. This is a tourist boat operating in Ocean City, Maryland (USA). it takes people by the coast and to watch the dolphins. Quite unusual and cool.

Are these models still available ? if So, where from, as I have trailed the web searching for "model sea breacher", with no success. Cheers, Dave W 😊

Hi ...the model is scratch built.....don't think you can buy them...seems to be based on a gnat aircraft design with fins instead of wings and powered by a waterjet.......well it should be when I get it put back together 😁
