H.A.Kits Thames Slipper launch chase boat

Having got my slipper launch wet I mounted a GoPro hero9 on her and chased Rick's "Velsheda" around the lake for a while. Control system needs a bit of modification as I only have 2 hands but she was a great platform for "on water" video. Will sort the issues out and hoping to do better next time.😐

Hello Roy, not FPV just a very wide angle lens. I control it from a rotary knob on the transmitter, just pointing it in the right general direction seems to work...BUT.... you do have to be in very close, more than 5 feet away and everything gets very small

I do love these old fashioned sailing yachts. They sail like queens onto the water. I wish I owned one
Very well built yachtsman👍👍👍

Another vid from my slipper. I have cut ventilation slots into the bonnets to try and keep the "workings" a bit cooler and she only tripped out once. A very light wind day but good practice for stronger stuff at some stage.😎
