View from on board my Cutter sailing on the Pavilion Gardens lake in Buxton last weekend.
The video is running slow at 70% speed as I think it looks better at that speed.

I can't use the lack of a wind indicator as an excuse 🤔. I still think the main problem is the nut holding the tiller 🤣😂

My Gaff Rigged Bristol Pilot Cutter started life as a static display model which I recently adapted for " Radio Control " . With extra sealing inside and out, she is seen here on her inaugural trial sailing - checking balance / trim /steering and simple sail control.
Certainly no claims here on scale or workmanship ! - just a " fun and functional " model which more than satisfies my initial challenge ! . ⛵

Today's weather was great for R/C model boat running & sailing in our favorite water hole the Hamilton Bay .The real Edward Cotter is a fireboat based in Buffalo New York & is also one of the oldest fireboats in the world . Near the end I almost had a disaster where I just touched the Ferry boat because I use a I-Phone to record videos & also run the models transmitter & some times I get distracted .

MODEL BOAT SAILING - AT BUGSWORTH BASIN
Bugsworth Canal Basin, the head of navigation of the Peak Forest Canal, was the largest and busiest inland port on Britain’s narrow canal system and the only one to survive intact. Famous canal and tramway engineer, Benjamin Outram, built the 14 mile long Peak Forest Canal from Dukinfield to Bugsworth, although plans to extend to Chapel Milton via Whitehough were never realised. Construction of the six mile Peak Forest Tramway in 1795 linked Bugsworth Basin to the limestone and gritstone quarries in Derbyshire, and the canal linked Bugsworth to Manchester and the trans-Pennine canal network.

RC Sailing No.118 - Out of Lockdown ! . 4th April 2021
Forgot my gloves ! - Forgot to charge the boat ! - Forgot how to set Gopro ! - at least we got a few clips of video - out of lockdown al last !.
Nice to see Bill & Ben back sculling on the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton !.

We've all done that sort of thing, Ian, 😁, I've got to the flying field or pond on numerous occasions, only to find I've brought the wrong battery, (or forgotten it) wrong TX (have 2 almost identical HK TXs) forgotten spanners, screw drivers, -you name it.

More changes, (not again you say😐) this time the original nozzle was re fitted, as I found that the very clever improvement I made, (a flasher, smaller, better fitting brass one), wasn't so clever after all (can't be brilliant all the time😁) and was restricting the flow. The performance was quite a bit better today (still not startling) and it seems obvious now that MORE POWER will be the next step (have a higher KV, 35 sized brushless coming on the sampan to try).
Had a chat with a long time expat UKer (ex British army) at the pond today, and he mentioned that he has an Aerokits fireboat 'kit' still in the box he hasn't started, (you might be able to hear the conversation) and that he was modelling in the 60s in the UK, running diesels in his boats. He was sailing a Kyosho Seawind today (as was the other guy),- and they look like a nice little yacht, and sail well.

Hi Peter, nice to hear from you and that the majority of Australia and borders have re-opened and that you guys managing to get back to the lake/ pond !.
Ok on your observations, for sails I mainly use ripstop nylon, mainly for colour variety and good light/med weather. I dont usually sail in heavy weather but I do have 1 suit made from a more ridgid sail cloth which certanly holds its form better. However, I do find that ,the ripstop does absorb streatch in heavier winds thus inducing a bit of "belly". I really must get hold of some mylar to try myself.
I dont recall cutting to a triangular shape as I use a template (see photo) however I recently joined up two 2 panels with double sided tape, then did a 3 panel suit (again in ripstop) which
added a batten like rigidity.
I do enjoy trying out other materials and design options within the Wee Nip design brief, but now also getting fun from filming other members boats from the "Camera Nip".
Take care Pete - cheers and beers !
