More pics from the Edina Model Yacht Club Season Opener
These were taken by a fellow club member, who obviously has a keen eye for photography.

    Thanks for posting these pictures. Seeing model boats in action like this is great fun - just what it is all about, eh ? 😉

    Now that is how you show photos of model boats! Crop the photo or use a zoom/telephoto lens to bring the subject in close leaving a little water around the edge. Thanks for doing that.

    A proper yacht, if only all sailing boats were so elegant.

Pictures from the 2022 Edina Model Yacht Club "Parade of Boats" day event.
Our club has a "Parade of Boats" day every June. Club members bring boats to display, and there are scheduled events throughout the day. A lot of locals bring their lawn chairs and spend the day enjoying our boats. The two floating lighthouses are used during our two "Lighthouse Day" events, which go until dark so we can display our boat lighting.

    Trev,
    I'm not sure. The boat is HUGE, about 6' long. The boat is an older build. I do know the owner, I can ask him at our next club meeting.

    Trev,
    When I originally said I knew who owned the boat, I was mistaken. However, since then I have found out who owns it. At our club's recent annual "Dry Dock" luncheon, I asked him about the power plant. He informed me it is an engine from an old Sears Craftsman chainsaw. No wonder you didn't recognize it!

"NAIAD" Windermere Yacht
"NAIAD" is a Windermere Yacht designed by Herbert Crossley.
This model yacht is a first "scratch" built RC yacht belonging to "full size" sailor Chris Gay.
Naiad is seen here undergoing her maiden voyage at the Pavilion Gardens Buxton in the company of Grahams - "ELLEN" the Bristol Cutter.

    'Naiad' is an interesting concept of a very traditional design. I like her lines and it's good to see a good old gaff rigged boat being built today.
    Likewise 'Emma', lovely old Bristol Pilot cutter, sailing well. You have some good boats at Buxton.
