Mini-12
Sailing on the pond at the former Canterbury Golf Club, Port Perry, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦

This is a Mini-12 Sailboat designed for sailing in weedy ponds. The rudder is attached to its shorter keel and weighs 12lbs+, and 42" length. it uses the Soling mast and sail area.

I am still learning how to handle this boat but it is sure fun!

    Nice setting. I see you use pond yacht type hulls. We have to in the summer due to floating weed in our lake.
    Is this a kit or scratch built?
    Certainly looks fun and I see you are training the mate for his masters ticket!

This video shows four New Zealand frigate models, at 1/48 scale, radio-controlled, HMNZS Canterbury leads, then Waikato, Otago and Taranaki. All models built from scratch, from Navy plans.
Build time about 6 months each. 1970's era idea based on a photo of these ships taken sailing in Wellington Harbour.

    Brilliant model collection of the past RNZ Navy vessels. very realistic setting. Particularly like HMNZS Otago (F111).
