First trip out 100Mtrs coupling broke, calmest day for weeks took an hour to get back!! Built from plans supplied by Colin Smith. 38/32 brushless motor, 125A ESC, 4 cell lipo. When it went it went! Motor, ESC and motor mount water cooled. I will get a new coupling and try to get a video of this hope we have some more calm days.

I love this video, thought you might like to share it, taken at St Helens model boat club lake, which is Taylor Park, Prescot, St Helens, very early before anybody arrived, on a cold sunday morning!
Shortly after this video I changed the motor and prop, I never stop meddling! 😀

HI There, I like what you've done with the boat it looks great.
The boat my father had was lost in time but when we sold the house I came across the plans, little bit moth eaten but decipherable.
I want to start and rebuild the boat within this this year from totally zero but don't seem to find many "parts" for it.
I Like originality in looks but love new technology built in as well.
Is it possible to ask for some pictures that I can use for reference when building please.
Regards
Kobus

Just rescued off ebay seller who had it in storage since he inherited it in 1976, it is a Fairey Huntsman, scratch built sometime in early 60's by his father who used to sail it near Manchester. its fitted with a SANWA 2F-2M RC system which seems to be still functioning. I will be doing restoration over the next few months, as there are a few cracks showing along most of the seems and I will need to sand and seal and repaint.

HI Huntsmanman, The boat was a President Plywood kit from 1975, and is quite heavy by todays standards its 5Kg /- a little bit depending on what batteries I use at the moment its a 5100mAh 11.1 Volt lipo. The run time is reasonable dependant on how long I run it at full power. Hope this helps. Graham 😊

At last I have a Fairey Huntsman (34 inch) that appears to work, The photos are of it last Sunday at Cwmbran it needs a little extra ballast at the rear but once added it should be OK. it's running a Johnson 600 through a Graupner 3:1 gearbox at 9.6V with a 50mm brass prop, I may also try dropping the prop to 40 or 45 on the next trials.
