In Ontario, Canada, we don't have a lot of spots to sail our models where there's water. They put up signs & now our favorite sailing area has a fountain & those dam geese have set up their home there also.

A group of 10 modellers joined in sailing our military craft to celebrate the victory in Europe 80th anniversary.

One of our club members built two dories that sailed in Spencer's pool in Burlington. The oars operated to propel the dory. Alex the Dory man is no longer with us . He had a tiny bottle of Skreech in the bow that someone walked away with. The lyrics describe Codfish Dan harpooning Halley's Comet, using the Big Dipper as a pot, and cooking fish on the sun—all while sailing through the cosmos in his golden dory. It’s classic Stompin’ Tom: full of Canadian pride, storytelling, and a catchy rhythm. Today's Question was about Dories, so I remember Alec's & his dory with fondness. The Moon-Man Newfie Stompin' Tom Conners.

A few of the Confederation Modellers members went to the Leander boat dock on Saturday, May 10, 2025, for test runs since the weather was great for sailing, and there were no weeds or green algae.

The Confederation Model Boat Club has been setting up a pool for many years, and it will be the same size as in 2024. The club made the pool forms many years ago, and I sure hope the museum helps to buy a new plastic liner because the old one sure leaks a lot.

Not so good quality - Must try harder!!

The club I'm in will be running CMM Boats in the Park on May 31 /June 1st, weather permitting, at the Steam Museum in Hamilton. I ran the Zwart Zee last year.

Just for Fun !!

I'm getting an 'Invalid File Type' message when I try to upload the MP4 video file of all the equipment working. I think the file might be too big at 119Mb? ! Consequently I've just put a photo of the setup because I've been unable to delete my post!

I really like the presence of this model on the water.

Back on the lake again tonight. Ballast and trim apparently sorted out now, hopefully no more " undersea exploring"😂

Dave and I agreed that today was not going to be a lifeboat day so my Aero Naut Classic and Dave’s Fairey Huntsman and cabin cruiser had a trip out. My DF65 also got its keel wet but I didn’t get pictures of that.
