- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralGreat variety, love the tug full of Minions 😀
Saw them first on some photos of the lake on Google Map, immediately appealed to my sense of the ridiculous 😁

Master Hand seen at CreweMBC sail Monday 8th Nov 2021
Brian Clewes brought along a nice example of his scratch built Master Hand retired fishing boat, for a sail. When larger more powerful mechanised boats were introduced this type was abandoned. Many were rescued and turned into pleasure / racing type craft and that is what this model depicts. Not seen for some years but is ageing well. The static pics will be of interest to any modeller considering making a scale sailing ship of this type. I did film some video and will share this later when edited.

AIRBOAT RUNNING ON THE OREWA ESTUARY
Nice calm night last night, so thought I'd go down an disturb the peace. Camera battery must have been going flat as the sound/picture sync was miles out, but you'll get the idea, (the sound is ahead of the picture by about 4 seconds) Might try for a better one when it's lighter and the battery is fully charged. YT also distorts a good video in the transfer for some reason (my HD camera anyhow)

- jbkiwiFleet AdmiralHi Rick, it's actually a tidal estuary (Orewa River) which doesn't look as good when the mud's in😁 (arrow is where I was for perspective). Get some good pics of sunsets from there at times. There's a walk/cycleway round the entire estuary which is pretty nice. Star is my place, so quite handy for boating. I was running the airboat from beside the boat ramp.

Bionic Bill and Ben ready for Halloween
Bionic Bill and Ben ready for an outing on Halloween today 😂🤣. Sadly the weather is so awful that they can't get on the lake as they would just be blown to the far side.

Small Puffer's maiden sail
This small model puffer was acquired some years ago and with little work brought back to a sailing condition. Due to size it is only possible to sail in calm waters.
CREEK BASHING WITH THE AIRBOAT
Wasn't a bad day today after a week of rain and storms (the 4ft sand bank was almost level with the creek before the storm, creek's moved 30ft sideways, - normally tidal right up under the bridge) so I took the airboat out for a thrash. Bit hard going up the creek with all the rocks exposed and shallow spots,- stopped a number of times. Lot of fun but not a lot of room to manoeuvre. I'm going to do it again on a calm day when the tide's in, and go out to sea a bit.

Video Aid ?
Sailing and filming at the same time can be a challenge ! . But when local club member Graham sourced some cheap FPV equipment, things became easier to get in frame before hitting "REC" on the Gopro.

- jbkiwiFleet AdmiralHi Phil, been wanting to do that for a few years, but haven't found a cheap enough set yet. I've struggled with trying to position one boat with a camera, behind or beside the subject etc, while trying to drive 2 boats at once. One thing I was thinking of, was to put the camera on a 360Deg gimbal so you can rotate it and follow something, rather than have to constantly re-position the whole camera boat to keep the subject in frame.
JB - wunwingloPetty Officer 1st ClassHI All,
Just calling in to say that I have not finished this little model yet, large due to Christmas and the like. However, I am now back on it and it should not take long now. During the down time on it, I have decided not mount it on a stand but to make a boat trailor for it and have acquired a suitably-sized RangeRover, R/C to launch it into the lake from our slipway. Also, I have decided to use a gearbox, one motor, two screws as space and weight were both getting tight. So it will be fitted with two motors direct drive.
