Excellent idea, building several wheelhouse to fit one hull. I think I shall do that. A FPV camera in one, extensive lighting for night sailing in another. Sound can be bulky, another wheelhouse fitted with that. A smoke generator. Dealing with just one "problem" at a time works better for me. Challenge I meant

Picnic Table is for real on Pete Spencer’s tugboat when not at work. He does community social activities throughout the year using the Loganville.
Maybe I should add all of those banners and flags to the model, making it a real eye catching vessel!
The wheelhouse is interchangeable with the Beamsville. One hull& two different designed wheelhouses.

Great R/C Boat Day.
All the vessels are looking great but I have to say that The Yellow Loganville tug with the picnic table in the back captivated my eyes.
What a concept.
Great creative thought.
AAA+++. 👍

Never give up.It will come right in the end.
We had five members and invited guests out today in Toronto at the Nathan Phillips Square pool. The water was only 4 1/2” deep and the steady wind made it pretty choppy. We got the occasional gusts too which made sailing the schooner a poor idea.
I rigged it up and many folks stopped by to ask questions and take photos. Some folks were from France and told us about a club in Paris that sails regularly too.
Anyone who knows about the Parisian model yacht club?

Rod, it is Miss Katherine from Mahone Bay, NS a scratch build. I could provide you with the drawings. It was my first attempt at scratch building a tug.

Ronald, your small red tug with white roof...what model is this?
Rod in Scarborough

Similar to the event two years ago when the Metro Marine Modellers sailed in the shallow pool at Nathan Phillips Square. Its depth of only 5-6” kept the boats with a deep draft out of the pool. There still were a good variety of vessels including a schooner which were able to navigate this large pool of water to the delight of the public.
The event is from 10-3 on Friday, August 18, 2023
