Miss Carlton
I thought I would post this here for those in the UK who may have built the model of this boat. 1963 "Miss Carlton" on sea trials. This is a Press photo.

- Oxford-DaveSub-LieutenantI like the copyright and filing info on the back of the photo. I used to work in the BBC TV News picture library and we had thousands up thousands of pictures like that in the basement. We could still access most of them within five minutes. too.
My recently refurbished 1/12th Scale Brede Lifeboat
Modelled on RNLB 33 - 07 Inner Wheel towards the later end of her service when the enclosed radar had been replaced by the Furuno rotating array. I know its to fast for scale speed but I was enjoying its first outing post refurbishment!

What is this boat?
Has anyone seen a model or plans for a boat like the one I found on holiday. I was in Elounda Crete when I came across this and thought what a lovely model it would make.

- SimpleSailorLieutenantThanks cheddarman. Looks like the same boat, has the same name but in the link it is in Agios Nikolaos Crete which is just round the coast from Elounda. It is definitely a Turkish Gulet.Liked by hermank and AlessandroSPQR and

lighting
Just answering a question about the club run at night & yes some guys go overboard with lighting hope I can photo some of the more exotic lighted model boats. Here is my Gumboot Cloggeroo lobster model boat with a few lights . That name is a song by Stompin Tom Connors a Canadian song writer .

- IsaacLieutenantIf you are looking for very low cost lighting ( that is not scale ), I purchased extra blinking bicycle lights that are battery powered. These are small cubes that emit red or white and I am sure others as well.
I just place it on my boat and let it go at my pond. They are bright and fun to watch.

Andrea Gail
The model boat club I'm in will hold a boats in the park at night on Thursday Sept.19th at 6:30 P.M. At Spencer's pool in Burlington . We do get a lot of spectators that enjoy the lighted model boats So I figured I'd better install some lights on my Andrea Gail the photo isn't that good but it will have to do for now. P/S installing lights sure is a pain ! And I'll take a few shots when it's darker.

SSMBC (Seminole, Florida, USA) meet on Sept 1, 2024
A short "in the water" video take at our meet. (Other boats were present, but I only got in a few photos.) My last Springer build finally hit the water. Still kind of hot (~90F), waiting for fall to arrive.

- LewZAdmiralPeejay, no barge for this one as it (real one) is a "stoplog" boat that operates at the Little Goose Dam on the Snake River out in Washington State (US). It is used to prevent logs and debris from entering the lock an intakes for the hydro-electric generators. The real one is owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
I'm thinking of making a bunch of logs for it to move around. Did you notice the crew man on the bow with a logging pole?

My trip with the CAP SAN DIEGO
Hello, a dream came true. I could take the “CAP SAN DIEGO” from Cuxhaven to Hamburg.
An early present for my 60th birthday from my dear woman.
It started at 11 a.m.
The weather was great, great visibility, sunshine and around 23 degrees warm. So perfect.
And every now and then a stiff breeze
First on board, there was a CAP SAN DIEGO coffee mug.
It was immediately filled with coffee and a nice Franzbrötchen.
For lunch there was spaetzle with sliced meat and for coffee there was more coffee and muffins with cherries or blueberries.
Finally get on board.
A shanty choir played as a welcome and occasionally during the journey

Devonport Maritime Museum
My wife and myself have returned from a rushed, but rewarding, week in the North West of Tasmania, Aust.
Our son insisted I accompany him and have a look at the Devonport Maritime Museum. Well worth it, with models of a lot of historical vessels, from clinker rowing boats through to windjammers, naval vessels and the evolution of ferries to the mainland.
Models include Slocum's 'Spray', SS Southern Cross, the oldest clinker dinghy in Australia, build using Huon Pine, and thought to be approx. 140 years old, and the Cutty Sark, which plied wool from Sydney to the UK.
Well worth the trip.

- peterdSub-LieutenantRoycv, I have just checked to see if i had more on the Spray, however only found one from a little further away. It gives a better look at the hull and deck. I have attached anyhow.
Also attached is a photo of the deck etc of the Lady Nelson. There is a replica in Hobart which is popular for harbour sailing or adventure voyages.
The original was built on the Thames and launched in 1798.
Interesting website. https://www.ladynelson.org.au/ship/original-vessel/original-lady-nelson-timelineLiked by Ray and AlessandroSPQR and
