This is the "Compass" , RC Sailboat belonging to Buxton Model Boat Club member Dean.
Record Day at Sonstraal Dam
Here is a look at the boats at Sonstraal Dam, home of the Northern City Model Boat Club, where on 26 February the Annual Record Day hosted by the Western Cape Model Boat Club brought more than 140 boats to the dam.
While some were just floaters, and some sank trying, there was a good collection of models actually in action.
One of them was the 1,5m Steam Tug, Miamota
The video was taken with an iPhone mounted in front of the bridge of the Smit London Tug boat with LOA of 1.7m

Look what followed me home ....
Tonight was our club's annual swap meet. I scored some parts and pieces. Missed a kit I wanted and ended up being given this boat (which fits right in with my collection of "misfit toys"). It hasn't seen water in years and needs some TLC. The person who gave it to me knew nothing about it. Does anyone on here recognize it? I'm sure it was a kit from somewhere. I'd love to find some info, so I know what it "should" look like.

- DWBrinkmanRear AdmiralRislinger,Rislinger, As I am working on the boat, I have discovered that it is indeed a wood hulled boat. Making it what I believe to be a Midwest 986 kit built boat. When it was given to me, I was told "the hull leaks". Over the years, somebody had filled it with that spray foam insulation stuff. So the first thing I had to do was remove all that icky stuff so I could see the inside of the hull. At that point, I discovered that there have been numerous attempts at sealing the "leak". There are layers of a rubbery sealant of some type, multiple different hard setting epoxies or something. I am now down to wood in all the place where I suspect the leaks are. I' will keep posting as I go forward.[{"id":"164875768864","name":"164875768864","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/164875768864\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/164875768864\/s","isImage":false,"ext":"file"},{"id":"164875769781","name":"164875769781","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/164875769781\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/164875769781\/s","isImage":false,"ext":"file"},{"id":"164875771178","name":"164875771178","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/164875771178\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/164875771178\/s","isImage":false,"ext":"file"},{"id":"164875772581","name":"164875772581","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/164875772581\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/164875772581\/s","isImage":false,"ext":"file"}]

Nice calm day at Boundary Park to-day so no yachts but a nice large pleasure cruiser and a small skimmer with attached paraglider finally flying round the lake.

- dave976CaptainToraDogToraDog Harry uses a helper to launch the paraglider once the skimmer approaches sufficient speed. This was the first time a successful flight was achieved and the weather was just right with little or no wind. The drag from the paraglider is high and Harry intends to put a larger motor to increase the power. Whilst the wind a water level was low research indicates that the wind strength is strongest at about 6 - 10ft above water and that is where the paraglider is flying. Dave
