Deep Sea Trawlers test run
Took a long time to get her balanced properly so it wouldn't tip over and sink

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.

- chugalone100Rear AdmiralHi 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,
Julian (chugalone)Liked by premecekcz and jumpugly and
