Nice job with the video Phil, especially liked the 'over the rail' shots of the deck and gear. Graham's done a brilliant job on her, and she looks to be sailing very nicely.

Good to see the boat with Graham there, gives an idea of scale. Quite a bit larger than I imagined but should handle the bigger stuff. Looks so realistic in the bow close-ups.

"Bionic Bill"

Graham Royle joined the Model Boat Website last summer, returning to modelling after a 45 year break. It was a display at Buxton Model Boat Club last year where he spoke with one of the members that got him started again.

Graham who is now a member of the Buxton Model Boat Club started his latest project "Bionic Bill", only 3 months ago at the beginning of lockdown.

What resulted is truly magnificent working model example of engineering, woodworking, electronics, perseverance and total dedication ! .

Well done Graham !.
PS - Remember, set video resolution quality to HD 1080p (Bottom right cog wheel).

Phil,

Thanks for doing the video, and spending all the time editing the clips. Much better than anything I could do with my handheld camera.

Gypsy Sloop Jr.

When I was in high school back in 1957 I built a kit of the Comet Gypsy Sloop Jr. in 2016 I found the drawings on-line for the Gypsy Jr. The boat was entered in woodworking class at our county fair where it received a blue ribbon. it has a working wheel that turns the rudder. Now I have under construction a 32 inch version that I would like to radio control. I'm not too sure how to set up or what type of servo to install.

Well done that man 👍
Unfortunately I'm not a yacheting man so can't help you directly with the setup.
BUT HEY! There's lots of yachties on this site! I've seen many discussions, threads and blogs on various yacht setups ....
Soooo ... pull your digits out guys, give the man a break and help him out with his yacht setup.
Cheers, Doug 😎

Go with swing arm servos for sail control, less trouble with the lines than winch. if room is a problem one can be used to control jibs & main. but separate controls are obviously best.
