INGA IV - Luxury Ketch
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".

- cdnfurballWarrant OfficerSo ah, is this thing mobile ? Towable ? Open the door and window, drag it down the road and all that pesky sawdust and debris would be GONE !
Actually, you’ve done a great job on it…. Now a mini bar fridge and music is all that’s left.. - chugalone100Vice AdmiralGreat job
You have now a great looking work shop.
Congratulations!!!!🎉

"Mississippi Steamboats" ?
Perhaps not a true description with both boats being battery powered ! however - just for fun I thought it would be nice to showcase together, similar boats sailed at my own local model boat club and some of those sailed at the Hayling club - a sort of "Model Club Twinning".

Many thanks again to all members for the hospitality shown.
Special thanks to Greg, Rob and Mike (the Swan Whisperer) !.

My Smoke thing
A friend in the model boat club made a simple smoke generator so I decided I'd try .Use a small humidifier & powered U.S.D plug with 4 NMH batteries & installed it in a model I built a while ago. Some of my old style Graupner smoke generators don't work any more .

- chugalone100Vice Admiral!Great idea, I love it!🤔
Is it something that remotely you can control or is it on at all the times?
How long does it take to start smoking after you power it ? - GARTHCommodoreGood question I could put a switch in one leg of battery to turn the simulated smoke on & keep the switch on the unit one & the fake smoke will come on right away I think haven't tried out yet but its easy to turn on after putting main battery in & putting plain water in the humidifier tank .New plan took it to Spencer's pool & wire broke off U.S.B. plug .Rewired used battery port on Flysky Receiver which is about 6 volts to power up the humidifier & it worked .Liked by KenThompson and chugalone100 and

Orca complete with crew
At the club pond today I have completed the Orca to my satisfaction. the crew figures are complete and fitted in situ, Matt Hooper at the helm, captain Quint up front with the harpoon gun, chief Brody serving out the smelly chum at the stern. The battery ran for at least 1 hour, it’s a 3s lipo 2200,100c when coupled to the charger it had 70 % left in

- johnfMidshipmanHi Rogal,
Many thanks for the photos - a really impressive model!!
Each to his own, but I much prefer small water craft modelled to 1\24, 1\16 or even 1\12 scale - rather than far larger ships unavoidably modelled on a tiny scale.
With best wishes. Dr John F. Leeds and Bradford. MBC. 😊😊😊
"Katie the Kayaker"
"Katie the Kayaker" was the inspiration and result many hours of work and head scratching by designer/creator and modelmaker Graham Royle who is a member of the Buxton Model Boat Club.
Grahams full blog of his "RC Kayak" project can be found here -
https://model-boats.com/blogs/111166?...
..........................................................................................
Here is Gaham`s latest account of the - "Maiden Voyage"
Before the maiden (!) voyage, a quick head 'transplant' !! I'd like to introduce 'Katie the Kayaker' 😂🤣
It was with some trepidation that Katie was carefully launched onto the Buxton lake. An ideal day last weekend with very little wind. I knew she would float, but would she move, and be controllable? Well the answer is yes - sort of 🤔
Thanks to Philcaretaker for the video clip.
She managed to paddle out, turn and paddle back, which was a great start. At least she didn't need rescuing. Shame she wouldn't keep hold of the paddle!
The paddle blades are not feathered at the right angle. The starboard blade is at the wrong angle and is hitting the water causing the kayak to rock excessively from side to side.
Once back on dry land, the kayak was checked inside for water. There was just a drop but nothing to worry about, which was also a relief.
So, overall it was reasonably successful, but several teething problems to be resolved before the next outing.👍

.... early January 2023
A mild start to 2023 enticed a small number of Buxton Model Boat Club yachting enthusiasts down to the local boating lake.
Very inspirational, makes you want to build more.😜😎
What a varied selection of boats.
Bill👍
