Does this one qualify? it took me almost 4 years to build this one. Scratch built from underhill plans. Parma made the fastest single journey in 1933 of 83 days in the grain races. the model is on permanent display in the Maritime Museum in Hull UK.

Using a 3.7g micro-servo. it is possible to install this small unit within many of the existing model Radar parts or scratch built models to create a working model Radar setup.
Here is an example of one fitted to my RNLI Trent lifeboat. I am using the bottom of the servo housing to clamp this unit to the underside of the base of the kits Radar platform, this helped to reduce the overall height and to maintain the scale size.
These servos are available on eBay at £1.89 including postage from China or Hong Kong.
I found this easy to mount and I have kept the servo electronics, connecting this servo to a spare channel on the receiver. This enables the radar to rotated in both directs at adjustable speeds or just stopped. I usually have it adjust at slow : scale speed, setting this with the trim on the transmitter.

HI Dave
Yes the gear noise is a problem, tried to fill the gear box area with some light grease but not a good solution ..messy and too restrictive.
Going to only run the radar when under way, switching radar on via a mercury switch and the forward momentum. Noise not a problem that way and it won't wear out as quickly.
Thanks Ralph

Originally designed and prepared as a fun entry to the MMI Solar Boat Challenge.
Scratch designed and built of depron to run in standard house guttering - size and construction details on the video. There are a number of 'solar' boats on another video of several including the eventual winner of the challenge. inexpensive, fun and unsinkable!

Here is my 1/7 Riva scratch built from plans downloaded from net. A complete stranger ask permission to photo the boat and said he would send on said photo. He is doing a photo diary for a year and this is todays photo! I think it is a excellent shot of the Riva. Brian

HI John, thanks for your interest and comments, I'm sure yours is good and you will get a lot of envious remarks about it, they are just that sort of boat! People love them!!
My boat is 1/7 scale.The fittings came from Vietnam. The sites to go to are: www.gianhien.net or www.qualityboats.com. They make desk models of a great varitey of boats The Riva is done in 1/5, 1/7 and 1/10 scale. I paid about £124.00 delivered, they took about 20 days to deliver, if you look on the build blog there are some photos of what comes in the fittings kit. The quality is good, not excellent but good. The value for money is excellent, you'll never get them in this country for that price.Send us a photo or put it on this site there is a lot of interest in these boats, thanks again Brian

HI Brian not Sharpy then thanks for the info think I have to make a better boat before I spend that sort of cash on it,
But I will try again, number one I think I need better plans the ones I have are very basic ,will put some pics on soon as I can work out how to
all the best John

Hello oltuggie yes she is a really lovely model I have helped Peter lift her in the water many times, she is certainly a bit weighty, but she is a lovely mover.

HMAS Fremantle (my first build and is still a work in progress) is a semI kit, hull and some fittings were supplied, most parts have been scratched built. She is powered by two MFA RE-385 5-Pole DC Motors, each controlled by a Mtroniks MicroViper Marine 10 ESC, supplied by one 6V 3.4 Ah lead acid battery, she has a running time of approx 90 minutes on the lake.

Sorry I can't answer that, I've never used lipo's so I can't give you a comparison. I've never had any problems with the sealed lead acid batteries, and use them on all my boats, they also double as ballast, as I would rather use batteries that dead weight.

Good Day Damon

Hey there, nevermind thanks for getting back to me though, I am beginning to move away from lipo's now myself, its only because I use em on my planes & cars so I just put 1 & 1 together & came up with 11
Cheers matey

This Model of the J. R. More tug which was one of the very last large Steam Tugs built on the Clyde in 1961.
Scratchbuilt from the 1:48 scale plans of a sistership the F.C. Sturrock with various modifications for J. R. More. Powered by twin 12v geared motors.
The J. R. More Tug is a large tug and still exists as a Museum exhibit at the Durban Maritime Museum and well worth a visit in South Africa.
My thanks to Keith Marks who was a Master of J. R. More and the F. C. Sturrock among others for his photographs, help and interest during the construction of this model and is now a good friend.
This video was taken at the Sumner Ponds which is used on alternate Thursday by the Southwater Dabblers MBC.
Video is not very good quality but will remake with a better video.

Hello from Australia Thought it was time I made a an effort. Three of my models shown here at last years local model show in Port Macquarie. L to R they are Cervia,now 20 years old,Wyola, an Australian built tug.Twin motors and Kort nozzles.and Old Trafford, MSC paddle tuc in 1/35 scale. All are totally scratch built. The only things bought were materials,paint and glue, Except the stantions for Old Trafford. Currenly finishing a Maycraft Mercury(started in 1962 in England) and a Vosper fireboat.Hope this may be of interest

Based on the 1/48th. drawings for Will Everard but at 1/24th. scale - hull length approx. 50".
Auxilliary motor fitted as local pond has reed edges! Scratch built include most of the fittings - not yet completed but hope to sail this summer!

Scratch built in 2004 from my own plan. Two layers of planks on ply frames, ply deck planked with 3/8 1/16 strips. Length of hull 50" by 13" breath. No motor sail only, winch for main & mizzen, sail arm for fore sails. Featuers a centre plate lowered by gravity and raized be a drum winch, also an expanding rudder, this has two servos to opperate. sails can be reefed or removed depending on weather conditions. Very good sailer Just goes in my car with the top mast & gaff boom lowered.

Sorry for the delay Cap'n, please don't keel haul me. Have posted 2 sailing photos. Reefed right down in a blow & in a breeze. Close to rocks no problem. HAMMER.

Very good looking model. I agree with the size and how good she looks on the water. Wind, Water and Wood has always been my favourite moto.
