That looks really nice! May I suggest 4 or perhaps 6 big winches on deck? Well done, sails very well and looks the part.

Hi Bruce.
I have got it working but not before carrying out some modifications. Firstl was one of the geared motors would not fit as it wanted to go through the deck cover. I made a small tool box, cut the cover and covered the end of the motor. The second was that the lift height would never get the boat over the railings. I added a 40mm spacer to increase the height. All is good now.๐ ▲

This is one of the next jobs I need to do on the Perkasa, not looking forward to it, especially making sure the 0.7mm brass rod Iโm using for the lines is kept kink free.

Hi Martin, I have this vid book-marked from last year (see my reply to Dave) it came a close second, (think I even posted your vid mid last year for some reason, probably something you suggested made me do it๐) Might have been before I did the Amphitruck come to think of it?

Don't forget the truck floats Martin, would probably launch very nicely from the barge ๐ just put the ramp down and drive in ! (barge would probably pop out like a cork in the other direction ๐)

Hi PJ, I'm not really serious about carrying the truck, as it can sail by itself (amphibious) I was just seeing if it was possible to fit it on, (maybe just for a photo on the water. Not sure how stable it will be with that much weight on top. A few tank tests coming up I think.

Hi Ron, don't think I have enough room for another barge, nor the money for a van to carry it all in. I have to walk too far to my sailing spot, and have to make 1 trip (risk of things disappearing if I had to make 2 or more trips.

Looks like if you go โsingle file,โ you probably need a removable bulb under the barge, and perhaps a loading point on the beach that keeps the barge from rolling until the truck is positioned.
Just โthinking out loudโ. ▲

Since the first barge was a quick build, might I suggest making a second one, then connect them together, side-by-side. Pete Spencer did this for his work around Port Dover, on Lake Erie, Ontario, Canada.

Hi Graham, wider maybe,- longer not so much๐ already a combined length of 82", -I'll need a bigger car ! The truck's quite large, (25"Lx10"Wx9.5"H) so makes the barge look small. For logs/sand etc, I can remove the ramp quite easily.

Yes Colin I do try and teach them to behave accordingly around water, even more so because I canโt swim. That wouldnโt deter me from jumping in after them tho haha. Yes they are pretty good I just say. Iโve fallen in a couple of times, just as well itโs shallow ish around one edge.

That's really encouraging to know that youngsters are enjoying the hobby. Hopefully teaching them water safety as well. I'm for ever falling in when retrieving my models. Family think it's hilarious but it can be dangerous, so I try to stay dry nowadays.
