Boats in the park Hamilton steam museum
Back in May, we put on a show at the Hamilton Steam Museum. I forgot that I had recorded the Balloon Buster, so here's that video. It sure was cold in May, and the Pool leaked like a sieve due to all the holes those boats put in the liner.

My grandfathers ship USS Canopus AS-9 Submarine tender.
A long read but the pdf is the story of the USS Canopus and it's last stand at Corregidor. He was captured at the fall and survived the Bataan death march and after some time was shipped to Japan to work in a copper mine until liberation. He died in 1977 after retiring as a senior member of IBM.

1938 Chris craft barrel back
Built this in the late 90s and never really had the skills at the time to make the finish the high quality these boats deserve. After sitting on the shelf for over 25 years I finally dusted it off and stripped it back to bare timber. I nervously applied a thin west system epoxy to it and spent what felt like an eternity sanding it up to 800 grit then polishing it . It’s a beautiful boat now and resembles the boats that were used for joy rides in Sydney harbour . I used cali graphics for the decals and they are awesome . Also added led lights . Enjoy

- IanL1MidshipmanJust beautiful, well done. I notice you are flying small flags, where did you source them from as I am looking for a small Italian flag to suit my Venice water taxi.👍👍Just beautiful, well done.

Graupner Optimist
Today, Optimist saw real water. I had a mini-soling also, but another member had an 88 transmitted, & my mini-soling is also on 88, so it took me a while to get the courage to put the Optimist So today was for sail boats but you usually have a member that wants to test out his speed boat that's has a great paint job . He picked up a seagull feather that really slowed him down.

- B rian J amesPetty Officer 2nd ClassPat, Isn't using the WWW, (slightly) cheating? I.E. I haven't a 'clue'! But 'Glue', I do know a 'little' about, sticky stuff. If 'Sikaflex' sticks to fingers, it must be pretty good? But seriously folks, 'preparation, preparation, preparation', that & spread the contact area, & reinforce with 'glass, (tape).

Just for fun !
Nice calm day to "chuck" a sail on the front of my camera boat to maintain downwind speed when not using noisy power !!.
Due to weedy conditions , didn`t bother about no keel - Shall not do that again - AGH !!!
All equipment , RX, battery, motor ,esc and camera dried out, tested and OK.
Phew ! - that was lucky.
