Last Sunday Knightcote Model Boat Club held its annual Navy Day.
Here are some pictures.

I have more pictures if you guys are interested.

Had a nice run with the Schnellboot Wiesel at the June 21,2026 meet of the Suncoast Scale Model Boat Club. First time back in the water after 15+ years in my display case. I was hoping for a little more speed but the boat ran well and looked good cutting the water. But then, don't all of the Schnellboot look good? Only issue was me letting it drift into some weeds while setting up my camera on the tripod. Most of the video was recorded at about 30 meters away but the decent zoom on the camera brought the boat in close. I hope you enjoy the video.

The club put on a display on at the Port Dover Museum. We had 5 tables & one brave soul ran his model in the river.

We had pretty good weather for this meet of the Suncoast Scale Model Boat Club. The temperature was 84F instead of the usual 90-92F for this time of the year. No rain, clear skies and a light breeze. The photos show the variety of boats (leaning a little heavy on the tugs) present at the meet.

First run of My Midwest Sequin Tug Boat plus a dumas tug with a barge. The pool superviser got some Fake white swans to keep the geese away which was a failure.
