Pictures from the 2022 Edina Model Yacht Club "Parade of Boats" day event.
Our club has a "Parade of Boats" day every June. Club members bring boats to display, and there are scheduled events throughout the day. A lot of locals bring their lawn chairs and spend the day enjoying our boats. The two floating lighthouses are used during our two "Lighthouse Day" events, which go until dark so we can display our boat lighting.

    Trev,
    I'm not sure. The boat is HUGE, about 6' long. The boat is an older build. I do know the owner, I can ask him at our next club meeting.

    Trev,
    When I originally said I knew who owned the boat, I was mistaken. However, since then I have found out who owns it. At our club's recent annual "Dry Dock" luncheon, I asked him about the power plant. He informed me it is an engine from an old Sears Craftsman chainsaw. No wonder you didn't recognize it!

Model Framing Jig
Re the:- Model Framing Jig from jbkiwi .

Seeing the time and effort other people put into their modelling hobby, and looking at the "build blogs" and forum comments on "Model Boats Website". I was prompted to share (with agreement) a couple of build (logs) blogs which would reach a wider audience via my youtube posts.
The intention is just to supplement and acknowledge ideas from all who share this common interest.
No monitorisation is received from this or any postings.

    So lovely to see. I have a Comtesse that I bought 40 years ago, and still sail on the occasional weekends.👍

A recent evening at the local center pond ...
I got there late, but a few boats were still out on the water.
Video was taken by a friend from the deck of his Shelley Foss Tug.

Kraken & GPL 1000 at Mayhem 2022
Kraken, with a 29cc Tiger King engine, and a GPL 1000 with an OS21 on a gearbox on the lake... at the same time! Is that sensible? Mayhem 2022

Straight running at Mayhem 2022
Who would have thought running a boat with no RC would be so much fun? Some 'straight runners' at Mayhem 2022

    Thanks for the video. A some fine collection of boats on the water. The rowboats have to be an extremely difficult build.

    Hi Chum444

    There is a full blog for one of the rowboats shown in the video here:

    Some photos of how I have laid out the various components in the compartments. I have my Lipo battery mounted laterally against the bulkhead in the cabin at the rear of wheelhouse (battery not shown). The battery is placed between the water-cooled ESC and the bulkhead. They are held in place with velcro as well as the extra battery box and RX box. I'm using a 3 bladed prop with a pro drive 35-42 brushless motor with a Viper 50amp water cooled ESC. The battery is a 3 cell 2200mah 11.1v Overlander battery. The RX is held in foam in an old business card plastic case along with a electronic switch to switch on the spotlight. In the aft compartment with the rudder is a 6v AAA battery box for the searchlight. When not in use, I keep the lipo battery in a fire proof bag inside a metal petty cash box for safety!😊

My new (to me) Shelley Foss came today!
Yes, I realize it needs some TLC. But then, all the boats in my "Harbor of Misfit Toys" came to me that way. I think it has potential :-) 🙄
