    See RusselBoats on FB there is a fella asking about building an RC Alligator. Did your friend have plans he found or made before building his ?

    If you have been admiring the yellow tugboat, go down and see Pete Spencer, tell him Ron Bauer sent you. He has built a new barge this winter and it should be moored now next to the tugboat.

    Give me your first and last name, a phone number too please. I will send an introduction to Pete Spencer from me to him asking if you might be allowed to come see the tug and barge.

    Hi Gary,
    I guess you drive up yo Hamilton to be at club meetings and sail? Do you launch anything in to Lake Erie or another body of water?

    Last October 2020, Pete Spencer the owner of Loganville, allowed my wife and me to come down to photograph and take measurements for making my Ville Class tugboat. I will be happy when the Covis restrictions are lifted so I can take it out and launch it. The model build blog is on the model-boats website.

    905-435-8390 is my cell

    Hope that club members don't get upset with me for taking on the project I know it was a group project & if no one objects I'll be O/K with that it's just the boat has been in dry dock for a while & I wanted to do something .
