A couple of members went for a morning sail I had may North Rock tug & a fellow member was checking out his latest R/C model that I really like the looks of her I forgot the ships name but the fellow running her said it was a Steam research vessel. I had upgraded North Rock to a Fly Sky transmitter & sure enough had to reprogram rudder & forward - reverse functions .

Here's my scratch built model of a Gundalow. in their final iteration they were lateen rigged cargo hauling workhorses of the New Hampshire and Maine estuaries from the mid 1600's thru very early 1900. Flat bottomed with a very shallow draft that allowed sailing (or following the tides/currents) to ports upriver with needed supplies and returning with cargo of all types. My model is 50" in length. It is used as a display model for The Gundalow Company in Portsmouth, NH. I also use it with historical presentations I give to schools, historical societies and libraries. The model is fully functional. While not radio controlled it has the ability to float.

Great weather, brilliant bacon butties, carrot cake to die for, oh and of course the boat sailing was brilliant, here’s some photos.

Believed to be from Revell Models , " INGA IV " is a model Ketch , owned and sailed here by Martin Ward of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club.

RCSailing is just for fun, no gain. Other than sharing photos and videos relating to Buxton Model Boat Club activities, from time to time its nice to "showcase" models from other clubs and members as seen here with the link between BMBC & HIMBC - all sharing the common interest in model boats and the "Model Boat Website".

My Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip 2" evolved from many hours of enjoyment I have had building, sailing and re tweaking previous "Nips".
The Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip 2" was a natural progression from my recent uni rigged "Slim Nip"
I just had to explore how an extended (76cm) Bermuda rigged hull would look and sail ?.
Length - 760mm , Beam - 170mm , Mast - 1100mm (Deck to top).

Seen here on on here maiden voyage this weekend - my Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip" evolved from many hours of enjoyment I have had building, sailing and re tweaking previous "Nips".
The Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip" was a natural progression from my recent uni rigged "Slim Nip" - I just had to explore how an extended (75cm) Bermuda rigged hull would look and sail ?.
The results so far are - Very pleasing !.

Another chance to relive some memories of RC Sailing with the Buxton Model Boat Club from Winter to Spring and Summer to Autumn 2022.

Best wishes to all for the Christmas and the new year !.

Cool, calm early late November morning. Very light wind expected to increase slightly but perfect for my "Slim Nip" which is a modified Wee Nip. Just pop in the extended mast with high aspect sail - and enjoy :-

This was the last sailing at Spencer's in Burlington in November 2022 My friend was running his TSS Beaverford real ship built 1928 was sunk 1940.was run by Canadian Pacific Steamship line. I liked the steam coming out of stack P/S Pool has now been drain & will soon will be a winter skating rink

Just for fun ! - Some old skeletons come out of the cupboard from time to time - it don`t have to have to be pretty - it just needs to work and inspire !!!

Held this year on 30th of October 2022, the "Venetian Night Sailing" is an annual event which is always popular amongst Buxton Model Boat Club members and the local community.

Very sorry our local member Graham93 couldn`t be with us due to unforeseen circumstances.

Graham, look forward to seeing you back soon with "Bill & Ben" and maybe "Kayak Kev" !!!.
