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

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 😎

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.

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 😁

I hope this helps if not let me know & I will take more pictures
i was able to put a high deck in because of the size of the hull
it might be difficult to do this with the smaller hull take a look on SLEC they do the River Police Launch (last picture)it appears to to be risen at the front to take the motor etc
The Vintage Model Boat range are now being produced by SLEC Ltd. All our kits come with all parts cut by CNC router or laser, plus all the necesary strip wood is included, along with building instructions and plan.
The River Police Launch has been based on the old Veron Kit from the 1960's that we all loved at that time. The model is not a scale model but embraces the boat design of that era. The kit is now fully laser cut so all parts are pre-cut and most of the parts are now made out of high quality ply, so obtaining a good finish is easier to achieve. The model can be powered by a 7.2 volts standard buggy battery pack or ic power of .5-1.5 cc engines which is not in the kit, also we have not included any running fittings as we feel a lot of modellers will have or would like to choose for themselves, but we can supply these fittings if required.
