    One of our club members built two dories that sailed in Spencer's pool in Burlington. The oars operated to propel the dory. Alex the Dory man is no longer with us . He had a tiny bottle of Skreech in the bow that someone walked away with. The lyrics describe Codfish Dan harpooning Halley's Comet, using the Big Dipper as a pot, and cooking fish on the sunโ€”all while sailing through the cosmos in his golden dory. Itโ€™s classic Stompinโ€™ Tom: full of Canadian pride, storytelling, and a catchy rhythm. Today's Question was about Dories, so I remember Alec's & his dory with fondness.

    The Confederation Model Boat Club has been setting up a pool for many years, and it will be the same size as in 2024. The club made the pool forms many years ago, and I sure hope the museum helps to buy a new plastic liner because the old one sure leaks a lot.

    I've been looking into uploads - the limit was set to 60MB, but there were server settings that might have prevented smaller files still.

    Website storage is limited only by number of files and not file size, so I've increased the file upload size to 1GB. That is a massive increase! But, do bear in mind huge files uploaded have to also be downloaded... and I may need to look into warning users about attachment file sizes (and likewise video file sizes) before allowing them to be downloaded and viewed.

    Let's see how things go!

    Yes, the server kicks the upload out if the file size is too large. It tries to upload, fails, then as the file doesnโ€™t exist in the next step, it only shows an invalid file type warning, even though MP4โ€™s should be ok.

    Iโ€™d cut it down to a smaller clip, lower the resolution, or cut into multiple smaller clips.

    Not ideal; but I canโ€™t allow a greater upload size unfortunately. Itโ€™s why the option to link a YouTube video is available instead ๐Ÿ‘

    I need to stay off the internet, LOL
    Noticed an ad for an Estate Sale. I went, I looked, and found (i.e. bought).
    The Midwest Rowing Dinghy, Canadian Canoe, and Chesapeake Double Kayak are all nice boats.
    They will look nice in a Diarama or just on display in my Home Office or Family Room.
    I plan to do some work on the Cranberry Isle Lobster Yacht. It was not built/finished to run.
    I'd like to open it up and put running gear and electronics in it to make it a working RC.
    The front opens to access where the motor and electronics would go, but the rear is sealed tight with no access to attach a servo to the rudder.
    Does anybody know where I could download the plans/instructions for this boat? I would like to see how the rear is constructed before attacking it.
    Thanks for the help!

    I hope that this helps; the plans show the rudder servo forward of the frame but I think it is better close to the rudder control arm. I use a NiMH battery laying beside the stuffing box and a counter weight on the opposite side. The original builder put a Y battery harness in so the boat could run off of two batteries for a longer duration. I just use one so as to give the brushed motor a rest .

    Thanks to everyone who offered advice and encouragement.
    I got bold enough to add a little (gentle) force, in an effort to access the area behind the rear seat.
    The seat and hatch behind it were glued in.
    I used a razor blade to trace the opening, in an effort to release any varnish that may have been holding it.
    That did not work, so I "encouraged" the rear seat to come loose, and applied some leverage to the hatch.
    I got both of them free without a lot of collateral damage, I may need to add some moulding around the hatch opening.
    BUT ... I successfully opened up the area where the shaft for the rudder is located.
    I feel much more confident that RC conversion will be successful now!

    Yeah, everything on the rear of the boat is stuck/glued tight.
    Whatever I do for access will require a bit of force.
    Thanks for the pictures, they will help a bunch.
    Ooops ... sorry I knew the correct spelling, but I guess my spell check didn't, LOL.

    Itโ€™s got a latch behind the rear seat that swivels. Itโ€™s in the plans I photographed.

    Ottawa is the proper spelling.

    What year is your Miata?

    Well, Ronald .....
    As it happens We are going on an extended road trip with our Miata Club in August, for a Miata meet in Ottawa.
    We will be in Thunder Bay 8/11, Sudbury 8/12, Ottowa 8/13-8/19, and then heading south to the states and west towards home.
    The route for the trip home is not cast in stone, yet. So ... be careful what you offer, LOL
    Best Regards,
    Dave B
    PS, I can see where the hatch is/should be behind the rear seat. However I'm not sure if it is glued or just varnished in, but I have pried lightly and it is not coming out. That is one of the reasons I'd like to lay eyes on the build instructions ....

    Behind the back seat is a hatch in the deck. The rear seat should come out. If not then look at these photos.

    If I had the opportunity to alter the model, it would be to use two brushed 350โ€™s making it twin screws.

    A bit of racing against a couple of DF95 yachts with our 60" J class yachts. Always a giggle๐Ÿ˜Š

    Great filming Martin. I don't think a yacht more beautiful than a J, has ever been designed, whether full size or as a model.

    A long unedited video of the boats on Warminster lake taken from my HA Kits Thames slipper launch. The GoPro hero 9 has image stabilisation so some pretty boats to practice chasing and getting in the frame.
