Shades of Autumn - Thursday sailing with Buxton Model Boat Club at the Pavilion Gardens Lake Buxton Derbyshire SK17 9AY.

RC Sailing hopes to illustrate a selection of RC Models filmed from various locations.
RC Sailing No 107 includes a broad range of Buxton Model Boat Club members boats that include Yachts , Tugs , Rowing boat , Submarine and other power boats.

Not something you see every day! Saw a 'Sealegs' boat coming in from over the horizon and it eventually came straight onto and up the beach past the Orewa surf club. It then proceeded about 300m down the main road (holding up the traffic) to the petrol station to fill up, then went back and down the beach, into the water and away. Guy broke a number of rules doing this but looked like one of those 'don't give a stuff' people, His wife and tiny kid (the only one with a life jacket) were sitting in the back all the time.

The Sealegs is an NZ designed and built (built in Albany- Auckland) boat sold (and copied) all round the world. Really amazing piece of kit. Drive is hydraulic, and driven by a small self start diesel motor in its' own compartment. If I ever won Lotto I'd certainly be looking at one😁 They have a special drive on trailer as well.

Not my lake in the thumbnail, don't know where that came from😐

Looking like a Windermere Pleasure boat, "Alexandra" is actually a German River Cruiser owned by Buxton Model Boat Club member Keith Holmes.

On Bank Holiday monday 31st August 2020 , Buxton MBC put on a display at Buxworth Basin in the High Peak of Derbyshire.

Ref Wikipedia - Bugsworth Basin is a canal basin at the terminus of the Peak Forest Canal. It is located at Buxworth in the valley of the Black Brook, close to Whaley Bridge. It was once a busy interchange with the Peak Forest Tramway, for the transport of limestone and burnt lime.

Was at the Spencer's pool yesterday & a Club member was running his pipe & drum model so recorded a wee bit

I finally managed to get out and do a video of SY Minnow. This was taken at Cheddar Steam Club and Jane and I were the only people there so had the water to ourselves. I have increased the displacement a little which has made her more stable in the wind. Although it doesn't look it, there was quite a breeze that day and you can see the boat heeling to the wind on occasions. I was very pleased with the mist unit as this was the first time I have seen it operate properly. I will do something about the masts being out of alignment!

Two new additions appeared at The Pavilion Gardens lakeside recently - belonging to BMBC members.
The models were - "Bonnie Lass", and " Milford Star " from Caldercraft.

The Buxton Model Boat Club sail at the Pavilion Gardens lake on Sunday and Thursday mornings - comments being - "an entertaining spectacle for all the family" and - "a Valuable asset and attraction to the town" .

Graham Royle joined the Model Boat Website last summer, returning to modelling after a 45 year break. It was a display at Buxton Model Boat Club last year where he spoke with one of the members that got him started again.

Graham who is now a member of the Buxton Model Boat Club started his latest project "Bionic Bill", only 3 months ago at the beginning of lockdown.

What resulted is truly magnificent working model example of engineering, woodworking, electronics, perseverance and total dedication ! .

Well done Graham !.
PS - Remember, set video resolution quality to HD 1080p (Bottom right cog wheel).
