    📝 Test Floats - Sea Trials

    I took my three winter builds up the street to my neighbours pool. Tug Miss Katherine, Vosper, and Folk sailboat

    Ballast was good on all three. I had my Forward/Reverse power controls set-up opposite to what I prefer but those were just minor adjustments.

    Surprised that the Vosper requires a larger turning radius, though I did not give it much power in that small pool, especially on the first test out of the bathtub.

    Rather hard to take photos and control at the same time. I took a couple videos too but they did not turn out very well.

    It is a small outdoor pool, but for my first test float, it was perfect for me. No swimming was required!!😎

    That is not me beside the pool. It is the man who owns the property, kinda my spotter.

    Hi Ron,
    I am glad things went well and no swimming was required.
    A little bit of tweaking and more trials and all should be ok.
