- roycvFleet AdmiralHi is this a HFM thread? If so I have just got a Trimaran going again. The sails were crumpled but responded to a hot iron with a wet hanky in between. The old type servos all did their job and we found a lightweight battery (1/2 AA). In another bag we found the 2 keels, one with a weight the other had been fitted with a flying keel, popular Australian idea of the time.
All the rigging had retained it's strength but the plastic supports for the outside hulls were a bit bendy. This was reinforced both internally and on the surface. Lining up the hulls was a problem not quite right yet but not apparent when sailing.
Still using 27Mhtz and very effective, the model is at least 30 years old the plastic has not deteriorated. She was made by my son and he can usually get the best out of a sail boat. Now migrated onto full size yachts and Australia!
I hope she is a reminder for the HFM followers, I have a nice working 575 and my late friend John Cook built his Thames barge, a nice size and now retained by his widow. I bought the basic hull and lee-boards from Harvey for just £2.00 at the now gone exhibition at Sand Down Park.

- roycvFleet AdmiralHello my one is still in the white I have not found a colour scheme and deck detail I would like to use. They do sail very well I remember talking to the designer before he re-kitted them for RC.
Which reminds me I have the Trimarran somewhere in the garage.

Zwarte Zee
Just had to try out R/C model Zwarte Zee at my favorite pond . Still need to make hand rails that I hate doing & maybe rename her Black Sea which is the English to Dutch translation.

- DavidW1Able SeamanThats a nice video. Its been perfect weather for sailing here. I have a model of the sister ship Whitte Zee (White Sea) which I have not used in many years if anyone in the UK near the Midlands would be interested in making an offer for. I will try to put an entry with photos, in the for sale section after my family have gotten over the loss and funeral of a close family member.
Happy sailing, Dave Weaver (Kidderminster)
M class destroyer
Hello again, here’s a picture of an M class destroyer which I built some years ago, she is of again balsa construction from Model Boat Magazine plans, I built over one winter about 9 years ago, she is sealed with dope and tissue which gives a smooth finish, the guns were constructed from plastic card, with brass rods for the barrels!
She was retired a couple of years ago, but recently she was brought out retirement and gifted to family friend was showing an interest in battle ships!

- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralHi TD,
Admittedly there is a certain similarity in hull shape, not surprising since both classes were based on current commercial trawler / whaler designs.
But that's as far as it goes. Attached is a photo (port side) of an early (short forecastle) Flower, K63 Picotee.
Put that 'head to head' with the pic of Baffin's starboard side, and stbd view of the model in the video, and the differences are immediately apparent so I won't list them here.
Y'all can play 'Spot the differences' 😉
First clue for me was the Pennant number; T275. 'T' for Trawler.
The Flowers had pennant numbers beginning with 'K' for 'K'orvette😉 coz 'C' was already in use for Cruisers and Carriers.
So I looked for HMS or HMCS T275 and immediately hit HMS Baffin. Digging deeper I also found this on UBoat Net-
https://uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/2718.html
Q.E.D. 😉
Easy mistake to make TD.
