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.😐

Another bit of camera slipper boat footage. I have enlarged the rudder even more and she now turns swiftly🤓 However, the speed controller keeps cutting out and needs to be brought in, turned off and on again before it's ready to go again. I think it's getting too hot so have put proper vents in the bonnets to see if it helps. I also changed the servo out so it only turns 130 or so degrees.

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.😎
