Or to use Elton John's words for the boat's motto
"Don't let the sun go down on me"Liked by philcaretaker and rcmodelboats and - lesliebreameChief Petty Officer 1st ClassI wanted to demonstrate that a vessel could move due to the power of the sun alone.Introducing a battery would confuse the issue and sceptical people would claim that it was the battery doing all the work !!

- jbkiwiFleet AdmiralThanks for the positive comment, and yes, it''s a great pond, part of the Gulf Harbour development on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula in Auckland. it is home to the Gulf Harbour Radio Yacht Club, the members having built the jetty, and they race a number of times a week. I am about 15 km away in Red Beach but its worth the 15 minute drive on a day such as this one.
- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralDat's lookin a heap better (or a better heap😊) already 👍
i might have sanded, varnished and re-stained the deck though.
Can appreciate what's ahead of you having just done pretty much the same with my Dad's old Sea Scout. Good luck, cheers, Doug 😎
- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralExcellent 'busy' ship well done 👍👍
Trailer is pretty neat too. Thanks for the inspiration.
Cheers, Doug 😎
