Hi Les, great tip, would work on any part that is hard to get hold of, nice one

Great idea!

What a shame. it looks such a lovely location for a model boat club. There must be some cash somewhere in the system which could just repair the pond and waterproof it. if there is a "current" club, maybe they could approach a local business to help with finances as a sponsorship. Heres hoping for a positive future. Best wishes, Dave W 😊

I love visiting Scotland and Largs is on my list. Hopefully they might have a functioning pond when I get to visit. My next visit is planned for Newton Park near Ayr next Easter time.

Yacht sails great. The power model owner needs educating regarding giving way to sail! Plenty of room for both models on that water without sailing in close quarters
Certainly a bargain at a fiver

很好 Hen Hao or as the two Ronnies might say 'Velly good'. Damn, there i go again, politically incorrect or as someone once said 'politically immature'.

Thanks Allen..👍.. it is a splendid vessel.

Ah, the Proboat Ragazza. I'm going to save up and get one of these. Here's a lttle one from the same stable... The Proboat Westward 18

Thanks Guys.👍

Lucky Find!

As they say oop north in England.
Ay up Baggie, tha's got some reet nice boating locations around you m'laddie.
They look cracking places to sail yachts or motor boats to your hearts content. We have to fight for any piece of water round here with the anglers, golf courses, and private lakes.
I'm getting very envious 😊
Best wishes, Dave W
