At one point the sailboat was out in front of me, but in the waves and stiff wind, it would not come about, I had to sail it by dropping off the wind.
Sailing on Lake Champlain, NY
I wish my videos would have been better but I had a stiff wind and some choppy water, still the double end design of Emily the little spunky sister of Gary Webb’s Emma, did a nice exhibition of a sailboat for the family.
I was sailing off the southern side of Willisboro Point on Wednesday afternoon.

- jumpuglyFleet AdmiralThis is excellent Ron! It's a big and at times a scary lake, and you even braved "Champ." Well Done!Liked by premecekcz and Ronald

Sunset cruise
Corinna Mae did a sunset cruise on Wednesday night. The model carries my daughter’s name and she was there to see the model during the sunset.
My 10 year old grandson handled the transmitter while i did the filming.
We Canadians were on a 3 generation camping trip in the mountains of New York State.

- chugalone100CommodoreHi Ronald,
What a beautiful video! I watched it several times, and I think you chose the perfect time of day to film her.
The sunset in the background, the calm water, and the silhouette of the sailboat create such a peaceful and realistic scene that, at times, it almost looks like a full-sized yacht instead of a model.
Many of us spend countless hours building our models, but you also reminded us that presenting them is an art in itself.
The lighting, the reflections on the water, and the gentle wake behind the boat all came together perfectly.
Congratulations on a wonderful build and an equally wonderful video.
Thank you for sharing it with all of us. It was a pleasure to watch, and it has inspired me to think more about photographing my own models in natural light once they're finished.
Best regards,

Installation of propellers
It is quite a question whether the propellers will be built correctly. The speed is too high on my small model. We will see about that during the water tests.

Sailing on a Sunday
Just a few photos of the Three Musketeers sailing on Sunday 19th July. We seem to be the only three that turn up on a regular basis. Just so happened there was a young lady photographer (Inga Zaiat) taking pictures around the lake. She asked if she could take some of us and the boats. From left to right Myself, Arthur & Ian. Arthur picked up the Victoria for a song at Model Boat Mayhem and after a bit of tinkering we had it up and sailing. Considering the sails are in poor condition it sails very well. Ian's boat is a second hand DF65 and mine (Red one) is built from plans out of the Model Boats magazine but does have a purchased DF65 rig. All good fun. PS. I uploaded the photos in low res as they take up less space and load faster.
