    Re: "Master Hand on the Pond at SMBC 010825 Part 2"

    Great video, thanks for sharing.
    I love sailing videos (with sailboat propulsion).
    Too bad there wasn't much wind.
    I noticed you could also motor (propeller-driven, I mean), right?
    In strong winds, could you turn without using the propeller?

    Hi Alessandro

    yes it has a motor as well - it is a big heavy model so in light winds like today turning it is a little difficult- will be interesting to see it in stronger winds 😄

    Be careful Pat, I don't know how big your rudder is (because I can't see it) but if it's to scale it's fine for turning with a propeller but it won't be enough with sail propulsion alone (without the flow of water on the rudder generated by the propeller you need a lot of speed).

My Midwest Boothbay refitted as a Tour Boat
This is before the details were added. It was the first time it had been wet since it was refitted.
Also a couple pictures of it closer to completion.
